Jubei tea tea bags (25 bags) 25HK$ (approximately 492 yen in Japanese yen)

Tea bags are a convenient way to enjoy Chinese tea, and come in many different varieties, making them a popular souvenir item at supermarkets. There are many different manufacturers offering them, but we recommend the "Lu Yu" brand with its retro packaging.

Luk Yu is the flagship brand of Man Tin Tea Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1977 and was the first company in Hong Kong to produce Chinese tea teabags, and has long been a part of Hong Kong life. The brand is particular about the quality and freshness of the tea leaves used as raw materials, and is manufactured in Hong Kong, so it's no wonder it has garnered so much support.

There are six types of tea, including Tieguanyin, Pu-erh, and Jasmine, and we recommend Shoumei tea, which has a mellow taste and is refreshing and easy to drink. This tea is not familiar in Japan, but it is often drunk in Hong Kong and is said to have the effect of removing heat from the body and beautifying the skin, so please give it a try.

There are several manufacturers that sell herbal candies that are good for your throat, but the most popular in Hong Kong is from Kyoto Nenjian.

By the way, Kyoto Nenji-an is a long-established Chinese medicine manufacturer founded in Hong Kong in 1946. Kyoto means "Beijing," and the company name is said to come from the tradition of passing down the Chinese medicine prescribed by a filial son who saved his sick mother during the Qing Dynasty. This secret story is reflected in the design of the trademark.
