Although the blue sea is an impressive blue sea, it has been damaged by sea level rise, water temperature rise, and marine pollution due to weather warming. Coral reefs where creatures gather can also become rich fish fields and natural breakwaters, and are very important to purify water quality. Activities to transplant baby corals for corals that protect the marine ecosystem are being carried out throughout Okinawa Prefecture across the boundaries of public and private studies.

It is "35COFFEE" to take a break while taking a walk along Kokusai Street. 35 Hibiscusty is made by roasting tea leaves by putting coral balls made of weathered coral and awamori distilled lees in a roasting kiln.

Perfect for!

The tea leaves of "Coral Roasting 35 Hibiscusty" can only be made in Okinawa. Okinawa limited tropicalty 1 bag 2g x 5 bags 5 bags 540 yen
