What a delightful find at the last minute. Tea was excellent as was the place setting. But, the service was the best. Even though I speak no Japanese, great effort was made by the nice lady to help me find a great tea option and ensure I was satisfied. What a gem this place is.

It’s a really lovely, tranquil and comfortable place to relax and to have a nice drink. The welcoming lady who served us puts a lot of effort into the drinks and service. We really appreciated the experience and can definitely recommend it.

We stopped by unplanned as a way to wait out the rain, and were surprised by the variety of tea available. While they do serve coffee, the tea menu is so extensive that it has a table of contents at the front. Even though we had a choice of seating, none of the options were very comfortable. Nonetheless, it was a very nice experience with good service.

인생 최고 아이스티를 경험. 여기 오리지날 홍차를 사용했다고 하는데 복잡미묘한 향이 일품이었음.

紅茶専門カフェです。 雰囲気も家具も食器も素敵で、優雅で贅沢な時間を過ごせました。 平日13時過ぎ、お客さんは私ひとりだけ。 観光客よりも地元の人が集まるお店かもしれません。 注文 ・TSUGオリジナル紅茶(フレーバーティー) ・デザートプレート(スコーン×1・ミニスイーツ×2種) 紅茶はポットで出してくれる(追加のお湯も)たっぷり飲めます。 華やかな香りがありながらもキツすぎず、渋くもならずとっても美味しかったです。 デザートもどれも美味しかったです。 スコーンにはクロテッドクリームとりんご紅茶?のジャムが挟んでありました。 このジャム、紅茶の茶葉が入っていて香りがよくかなり好みでした。 どれもとっても美味しくて大満足でした。 また、オーナーは親しみやすい方でほっこりしました。 飲食中はそっとしてくれていましたが、帰り際に話しかけてくださり、その会話が心地よかったです。 またお邪魔したいと思います。

高山では珍しい紅茶専門店のカフェです。メニューを見てその種類の豊富さに驚きました。何にするかすごく悩みましたが、オーナーの勧めで「アールグレイの王様」にしました。ティーポットにリーフティーがたっぷり入っていて、別のポットにお代わり用のお湯も頂きましたまず香りがとても良く、今までに飲んだアールグレイの中でも格別に美味しかったです!ミルクは味から推測するに「飛騨ふるさと牛乳」を使用しているのか、とても甘くて美味しかったです!ティーカップはNoritakeのもので、品があって優雅な気分にさせてくれます。店内は決して広くはありませんが、空いていてクラシック音楽がかかっておりとても落ち着く空間になっています。日々の生活に疲れた時、ちょっとリラックスしたい時、たまの自分へのご褒美にぴったりなカフェだと感じました(*´˘`*) 紅茶好きの方に是非一度は訪れてほしいです!
