Kobe Tea Cookies
Fragrant cookies that reflect Kobe's identity as a city of tea. Since its port opened in 1868, Kobe has been a port town where many foreign goods have arrived. Tea is one of them, and even today, long-established tea shops are rooted in Kobe, making it a city where tea culture is deeply embraced, with tea consumption per household said to be among the highest in Japan. These tea cookies reflect that very tea culture of Kobe. Tea leaves are kneaded into the dough and baked to a crisp, fragrant finish. With a single bite, the rich aroma of tea spreads softly through your palate. It is an elegant baked good typical of Kobe, perfect alongside coffee or tea.
