I took this picture when I was in Starbucks Reserve Roastery, Japan. As soon as I saw this aesthetic display, I took out my phone immediately. Tea, especially in Japan, is the most commonly drunk beverage and an important part of Japanese food culture. They have a lot of flavours like strawberry, green tea, butterscotch, and many others that I can’t mention one by one; you name it. It’s simplicity and authenticity explain why I love this type of beverage so much. The fragrance that it releases, the flavour, everything. It is so famous and well-known in Japan that they even have their own Tea Ceremony (茶道), where it involves the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha (green tea).
