There is a shop "Piyanee" on Bunkamura-dori in Shibuya, Tokyo, where you can drink Thai tea "Thai tea". I was worried every time I passed by, so I drank it.

Piyanee

Piyanee is located near the main store of Tokyu Department Store on Bunkamura Street. The orange coloring reminiscent of black tea is a landmark.

I didn't know about Thai tea, but according to the official website, it is grown in the mountains of northern Thailand and has a sweet scent like vanilla. In Piyanee, the menu with black tapioca seems to be popular.


You can also choose with toppings, and it feels like a coffee chain store. Let's try "Tapioca Thai Tea Frappe". The price is 648 yen (tax included)

Tapioca Thai Tea Frappe

There were many customers in the shop, so it took some time. What came out was a sorbet drink with whipped cream, caramel sauce and nuts. But after all it is orange.

When you take a sip, it smells like black tea that you can feel through your nose. For a moment, I thought it might be a black tea flavor that can be added to sweets, but when you taste it well, it seems to have a more natural softness.

It's very vivid, but it has a mysterious impression that is different from black tea with a scent like Earl Gray.

Creams and caramel sauces have a soft and moderate sweetness on the tongue and go well with crumpled sorbet drinks. When mixed with the unique Thai tea scent, it will be a different experience even though it is a familiar frappe mouthpiece.


The black tapioca has a firm and "mokyumokyu" texture. The volume and number of each grain is large, and it is also delicious as a dessert. Every time I smoke with a straw, I feel like I can enjoy it forever.


In addition to taking home Piyanee tea, there is also a small space inside the store where you can sit and drink. If you take a peek and it seems to be vacant, you may have a good time if you take a leisurely walk.
