Summer Delights: New Sanpin Tea Menu

As the hot sun blazes overhead, Okinawa's beloved drink, Sanpin tea, brings a unique refreshment that truly captures the essence of summer. From July 1, 2025, ESTINATE HOTEL Naha invites guests to indulge in a special limited-time menu that highlights the fragrant and flavorful qualities of Sanpin tea across various refreshing options, ideal for the tropical heat.

The Allure of Sanpin Tea

Known as Okinawa's soul drink, Sanpin tea is a delightful blend of sweetness, bitterness, and a rich aroma that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. Often referred to as "flower tea," it is crafted by infusing floral scents into the tea leaves, creating a delicate fragrance cherished by many.

Innovative Summer Menu at ESTINATE HOTEL Naha

During the summer months, ESTINATE HOTEL Naha aims to maximize the appeal of Sanpin tea with a creative menu that captures its essence. Here are some highlights of the special offerings:

Sanpin Okinawa Zenzai (¥880, tax included)

This distinctive dessert combines traditional Okinawan Zenzai, made with sweetened red beans served over ice and drizzled with brown sugar syrup, with the refreshing flavor of Sanpin tea. Topped with a generous helping of Sanpin tea cream and a rich syrup, it delivers an exceptional balance of refreshing bitterness and sweet red bean flavor—perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day. Experience this exclusive treat only available at ESTINATE HOTEL Naha.

Sanpin Lemon Sour (¥900, tax included)

In Okinawa, it’s common to mix Awamori (local liquor) with Sanpin tea, but this menu offers a twist with a more palatable Lemon Sour option. Combining the zesty acidity of lemon with the subtle sweetness and astringency of Sanpin tea, this drink is ideal for the summer heat. Adorned with locally sourced lemon eucalyptus leaves, each sip is accompanied by a pleasant aroma, stimulating your sense of smell. This refreshing beverage can even be enjoyed without alcohol, making it a seasonal favorite.

Sanpin Latte (Hot/Iced) (¥700 each, tax included)

Originating from Jasmine tea, Sanpin tea has evolved uniquely in Okinawa, accommodating the local culture and climate. Moving beyond the traditional notion of tea served hot, iced Sanpin tea is widely enjoyed. This Sanpin Latte, available both hot and iced, utilizes a stronger brew of Sanpin tea, combined with house-made Sanpin cream and syrup, delivering a deliciously sweet flavor experience.

Exclusive Summer Accommodation Package

In addition to the exciting beverages, ESTINATE HOTEL Naha is also offering a summer accommodation package that includes the Sanpin Okinawa Zenzai and Sanpin Latte during your stay.
