“So Vallhallow was kind enough to gift me a bunch of Lupicia teas that she wanted to rehome, thank you! And a bunch of them are from her Japan order, including this one! Yeeee! This is named...” Read full tasting note
A refreshing black tea with a fruity aroma, topped with colorful confetti, inspired by the colorful glass of Vidro. The fresh flavor is also perfect as iced tea. This black tea is inspired by Vidro (meaning glass in Portuguese), a famous souvenir from Nagasaki. It is flavored with refreshing fruits such as lychee and grapefruit to bring out the transparency of the glass. The colorful confetti topping cutely represents the colorful glass of Vidro, with colors such as blue and red.
*Vidro: Beautiful glasswork brought from Portugal and the Netherlands has been called “Bidoro” since its inception, and has been loved by Japanese people for many years.
Ingredients: Black tea, sugar candy, cornflower/flavoring, coloring (3 red, 1 blue)

So Vallhallow was kind enough to gift me a bunch of Lupicia teas that she wanted to rehome, thank you! And a bunch of them are from her Japan order, including this one! Yeeee! This is named after and inspired by Portuguese glass, which is apparently a popular souvenir in Nagasaki. Interesting! The pink and blue konpeito are so cute and festive, and I love the colors together.
Flavor-wise, it’s a lychee and grapefruit black tea, and it’s delightful! I can taste both flavors clearly, and the bright grapefruit and syrupy, floral lychee make a great pairing. The grapefruit is prominent at the beginning of the sip, but then there’s a lovely sweet lychee finish. I will say it looks like there’s some Darjeeling here, as there are a few green leaves interspersed among the brown ones in the spent leaf. So maybe next time I’ll experiment with a slightly lower temperature to see how that affects the flavor of the base. Looking forward to sipping through this one, and trying the others as well!
