I have also experienced visiting herbal shops in Himeji. When shop staffs find customers looking for tea, they greet us with a small cup of tea saying, "This is one of the popular teas in this shop. Please enjoy the taste."
Aficion is one of them. On my way to another errands, I visited the shop several times last year.

I haven't visited Aficion shop these days, but I browsed their website and found something interesting. I would like to write about the unique names of their original herb tea.
