An energy drink without any sugar? Yes please! The Sencha Shot and Oolong Shot from Ito En are just the ticket!
(I like the Oolong Shot myself!)
Many thanks to Ito En for sending us samples of their teas!
UPDATE! Rona, a tea expert from Ito En, was kind enough to share why oolong is called a “blue tea.” Thanks, Rona!
