    Outside the store, you will be attracted by the extremely clean, spacious and bright decoration of the store. The style is very modern, but it specializes in Japanese tea, which will attract people to try it. The female boss is in charge of tea, and the male boss is in charge of hand-made coffee. Both of them will give detailed introductions and are very attentive. Watching the boss making tea, I feel very professional and beautiful, but I am embarrassed to take pictures. I smelled the smell of hojicha that day and I liked it very much. It tasted light and refreshing. I also drank green tea from a friend. It was the first time I drank tea with the taste of seaweed. It was very fresh. The warabi cake is highly recommended. The texture is different from the ones sold outside. I like it very much. I hope more people will give it a try and support stores that are different from ordinary coffee shops and offer different items.

    According to a friend’s introduction, AMIA is a store specializing in Japanese tea and Japanese coffee on Youth Road in Kaohsiung City. When I came here, although it was in the city, the environment was particularly quiet and not noisy. The decoration design in the store was very Japanese. Simple style, pure white space and wooden decoration, as well as a Japanese-style tatami seating area, make people feel particularly calm and relaxed when entering the store. AMIA is run by a young couple. The boss is from Kaohsiung, and the hostess is Japanese. I heard that the name of the store is the name of the boss’s grandmother, and I also wanted to find it; The couple's tea products are produced by directly visiting tea plantation producers across Kyushu and selecting Japanese tea with both quality and taste. There are many varieties of Japanese tea, and most of the varieties provided in the store are unblended varieties. Tea, so you can taste the personality of each tea. We chose "Guancha" Mountain Breath Blowing, It is a production method in which the tea trees are covered for a period of time (10 days or 20 days) before picking tea, so it has a refreshing taste like sencha and the unique flavor of Gyokuro tea; Banniang’s brewing method also uses two stages Brewing method, first brewing with water temperature of 60°, and then brewing with water temperature of 65°~70°, two different flavors are presented. I heard from the boss that the output of "Guancha" this year has dropped sharply, but the quality is better than in previous years. It's good. The brewed tea leaves can also be eaten, and a little sea salt is added. The covered tea leaves taste as fresh and tender as wild vegetables, without the bitterness of tea leaves, and it is really delicious. Also selected "Kettle Fried Tea" Put the tea leaves into an iron pot and fry them. Currently, only some parts of Kyushu still use this method to make tea. The tea leaves have a unique aroma that can only be found in a wok. The tea leaves are green and golden in color and have the refreshing aroma of grains. It seems somewhat similar to buckwheat tea; Paired with the warabi mochi (brown sugar flavor) that comes with the tea, I also ordered hojicha flavored warabi mochi and strawberry matcha raw milk roll. With a sip of tea, it was an extremely satisfying afternoon tea, plus the friendly greetings of the boss and the hostess The greetings and cold brew tea drinks (sencha + matcha powder) add to the warmth of this leisurely and elegant shop, making people want to stay for a while longer.

    The first cup of Wuxiang is brewed at 40 degrees, with a strong seaweed aroma, and the second cup at 80 degrees, with a light tea aroma, is perfect for relaxing in a leisurely afternoon with the attached warabi cake. The dessert is similar to yokan and is super delicious. It's a pity that there is no coffee at the moment. I saw the huge Taiwanese coffee roasting machine and I must try it again next time. Yame tea needs to be harvested manually and placed in a shed made of rice for ventilation.

    The space is quiet and low-key, the tea is of high quality, the desserts are on point, and the tea sets are excellent. It was a wonderful experience. I recommend going there again. I would feel embarrassed if I spoke loudly here.

    It's a great place. The boss and lady boss are very kind and patient in introducing the tea: it tastes good, smooth and sweet. You can feel the quality of the tea and the care of the tea brewer. Coffee: mellow and sweet, it can be considered the best. Dessert: delicious, not sweet, not greasy, just right! Overall it's a place worth spending an afternoon in! Ps. Great place to take photos

    The Japanese landlady is hospitable to the guests and patiently introduces various Japanese teas in Chinese. The boss is also enthusiastic about the guests. I am very happy to come to this good store on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I gave the boss and his wife grain biscuits to make Mid-Autumn snacks. I wish this good store good luck. Smoothly and profitably On 11/20, I visited Yabukita for the first time in nearly 2 months and ordered deep-steamed sencha. The unique slightly bitter flavor of sencha goes well with warabi mochi. It makes me spend a leisurely afternoon~~

    This authentic Japanese teahouse is highly recommended! There are various kinds of tea Ban Niang from Kyushu is a unique tea maker. I also love Japan’s small warabi mochi The whole store is a comfortable experience from the moment you enter. The boss is as enthusiastic about explanation and service as his family members Simple decoration makes people feel relaxed Enjoying this moment Spent a very pleasant afternoon here with friends ❤️❤️❤️ You can come and experience it more👍 In this busy pace of life Sometimes I have to put down my phone talk to yourself A cup of tea or a cup of coffee Everyone has their own story Let us learn to appreciate every bit of life #AMIA #MeetHappiness

    No coffee today Drink Japanese tea instead Different from the tea we are used to drinking Japanese tea is mostly made in the form of steamed green tea What I tasted today is Deep steamed sencha green tea The tea tasted the first time was relatively calm and rounded. The flavor is concentrated in the middle and lower parts Use a higher water temperature for the second flush The smell of tea is obvious The taste is also more three-dimensional Drink it to get a bitter but sweet taste Quite smooth and delicious The attached warabi cake is so delicious Red dates wrapped in salty cream The salty and sweet aroma is so delicious First time tasting Japanese tea like this Looking forward to visiting again next time to try other teas *The boss lady is so cute❤️

    Japanese tea is really rare in Kaohsiung Although I don’t know much about Japanese tea But an atmosphere and professionalism like this always fascinates me except tea The desserts here also surprised me a bit Both are delicious Especially the one with red dates and cheese It’s a combination I’ve never seen before, and it doesn’t conflict with the taste at all (it also made me swipe at the limit of movement😋 It seems quite eye-catching) delicate taste We ordered it again😋😋 +1 for collecting good stores ❤️
