Yamamoto Kanpoh Toryucha Blended Herbal Tea, 10g x 24 Bags

Yamamoto Kanpoh Toryucha is a caffeinated blended herbal tea from a trusted Japanese kampo (herbal medicine) maker, made for people who love sweet food and snacks. Twelve plant materials, including mulberry leaf, banaba leaf, gymnema sylvestre and oolong tea, are blended into a smooth, mellow, easy-drinking cup with almost no calories (about 1 kcal per 100ml). In the Philippines, where dessert, milk tea and rice are part of daily life, it is a feel-good everyday tea you can sip hot in cool weather or chilled over ice in the heat. A thoughtful pasalubong for health-minded family and friends.
