福寿園 京都本店
Fukujuen began in 1790. Its tea masters blend several teas in percentages, judging by the five senses — the core craft since 1790. Selling tea in small bags, ordinary today, is said by the company to have started with its first Kyoto Station shop in 1952; before that, tea was weighed out loose. In the basement of the Kyoto flagship, Kyo no Chagura (¥4,400 including tax) lets visitors blend a tea of their own from Kyoto growing areas and cultivars, and learn to brew it on the spot. Kabusecha Asatsuyu tea bags (10) cost ¥594; gyokuro Tenkun (45 g) costs ¥2,160.
