Gancha-bou - Meguro City

When I had something in Nakameguro, I thought that I wanted a little tea. The first floor of a private house is a Chinese tea cafe. The cat welcomed me in front of the entrance glass door. The interior is like the living room of somewhere. It is cute that the staff's young child is doing homework with one table. I got oolong tea. Previously I bought various oolong tea leaves and drank well at home, but recently I did not drink much. The tea that I had after a long absence was delicious. We were able to enjoy the tea slowly after having put out pot of hot water. Full brands of Chinese tea were lined up in the menu. There are many stylish cafes in Naka-Meguro, but here is a very calm shop.

Among Chinese teas, if you want to drink rock tea, this is the place to start. You can get a wide variety of rock tea. There are many types of Chinese tea such as Tieguanyin, Iwacha, Pu'er tea, and white tea, so find the tea leaf that suits you.

A very calm place. Tea is also delicious.

After the temporary closure due to renovation, it is currently open (2022). However, there are occasional temporary closures, so if you are far away, it may be better to contact us once before you go. The people in the shop are laid-back and kind, and are they the signboard cats in the shop? The tea is also sleeping on the porch, and when I think I've entered the store, I get on my lap. It is a valuable shop in Nakameguro where you can spend your own quiet time, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the street.

A shop that makes you want to come casually. The cat's tea is the signboard cat.

Founded in 1988, this is a genuine and genuine "Gancia" specialty store. Rock tea is an illusionary oolong tea made from a tea plant that grows on a rocky mountain in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, China. All of the tea is made by "Seiiwa tea," which is well-established, and by the tea master, "Liu Baojun," who is famous as a human treasure of China. The shop is a writer's salon, Noriyo Sano, and there are daily interactions and events with customers. Of course, this is a salon where people who are “tea drinking and enjoying food” and “just buying tea leaves” are OK. *************************** ◆◆ What is rock tea (gancha)? ?? ◆◆ Wuyishan, Fujian Province, China, which is also a World Heritage Site. The oolong tea obtained from the tea plant growing on this rocky mountain is called rock tea. Since this tea tree is nourished from rocks, it absorbs minerals, vitamins, and unknown nutrients, and it is a phantom oolong tea that has many legends such as healing the illness of the emperor. When I drink this tea, my heart and body are unraveled by the taste and fragrance that I can't hear, and I feel the mystery that my body is adjusted to a place I don't know. For more information, please see "The Power of Iwacha" by Noriyo Saino. ◆◆ How special is the tea? ? ◆◆ There are many shops that sell rock tea as Chinese tea, but this rock tea is special. Shoiwacha is a tea that is grown and harvested on the rock surface at an altitude of 650 meters or higher in Wuyishan-ku, a World Heritage Site. Nothing is exposed to the sun all day long, and the plains around Mt. Wuyi only use those that meet strict standards. Moreover, the tea made by Jun Liu, who is said to be the national treasure of tea. Priceless! ◆◆ What is the price? ?? ◆◆ Prices are increasing year by year due to the economic growth of China. It's certainly higher. King of rock tea "Daihongji" 20g 7320 yen. Even the cheapest rock tea, 20g 2080 yen. However, if you try to extract it to the limit, it will be about 1.2 liters with about 5 g. Today, 20g of "Orisuisen" 2080 yen is a souvenir. A 100-year-old tree creates richness and sweetness in tea, and heals "overuse of the head" and "nerve fatigue". Before I went to bed, I drank it and noticed that I had a deep sleep. It's expensive, but I think I'm lucky to get one, and I'll give it while I can.
