Tasting review of ``Kirin Afternoon Tea TEA SELECTION The Milk Tea English Blend'', a rich milk tea with 1.5 times the amount of tea leaves

``Kirin Afternoon Black Tea TEA SELECTION The Milk Tea English Blend'', which uses 1.5 times as many tea leaves as ``Kirin Afternoon Black Tea Milk Tea' ', will be available from October 17, 2023 (Tuesday). It is said that the refreshing scent of Uva tea leaves and the mellow richness and deep taste of Assam tea leaves can be enjoyed in a well-balanced manner with milk, so I tried drinking it to see what it tastes like.

When drinking 'Kirin Gogo no Tea TEA SELECTION The Milk Tea English Blend', first shake the bottle well.

When you pour it into a cup, it looks like this.

It has a strong flavor of tea leaves, but you can also feel the milk in the base. Although the amount of tea leaves is 1.5 times larger, it is not bitter and has a strong sweet taste.

If you compare it with regular 'afternoon black tea milk tea', the difference will be clearly visible. 'Afternoon Black Tea Milk Tea' has a weaker taste of tea leaves, but a stronger taste of milk and sugar, and the aftertaste has a strong milk flavor.
