🍹 Iced green plum tea (6,000 won)

The iced plum tea at Coffee Bean G1 had a sweet-and-sour plum flavor that felt so cool and refreshing. The heat just melted away, so I was happy! haha

My dad, who is super picky about food, mentioned several times how good this place's plum tea was. It was rich, and the sweetness was just right.

🥭 Iced passion fruit tea (6,000 won)

The iced passion fruit tea at Coffee Bean G1 was full of that fresh passion fruit aroma, and it lifted my mood the whole time I drank it. The balance of sweet and tart is great, so I'd recommend it as a summer drink.. ><

My mom especially loved the crunchy texture of the passion fruit seeds!

What to order at Coffee Bean G1

If I had to pick just one at Coffee Bean G1, I'd strongly recommend the cold iced plum tea. The other drinks and coffee were good too, but this was so, so ridiculously delicious that I wanted to ask the owner, "Um, do you happen to sell the plum syrup separately?"
