'Kirin Afternoon Tea Delicious Unsweetened Milk Tea' When comparing before and after the renewal, I felt that the taste of 'milk' had increased.



Among the ``Kirin Gogo-no-Kocha'', which is said to be the No. 1 selling black tea beverage, `` Kirin Gogo-no-Kocha Delicious Unsweetened Milk Tea '' will be renewed from March 5, 2024 (Tuesday). It's a very slight change when looking at the nutritional information table, but it means that the balance between the 'black tea' and 'milk' tastes has been adjusted, so I compared the drinks before and after the renewal.

And this is a sample product of the renewed 'Kirin Gogo no Kocha Delicious Unsweetened Milk Tea' that I received from Kirin.



Since the pre-renewal version is still available in stores, I decided to take the opportunity to compare the before and after versions. From the left: After the renovation, before the renovation, and the standard 'Afternoon Tea Milk Tea.'



The contents and arrangement of the ingredients column is the same before and after the renewal. ``Milk (raw milk (domestic)), black tea (10% Darjeeling, 10% Uva), milk protein, vegetable oil, dextrin, salt, flavoring, emulsifier, vitamin C, sodium gluconate.''



In the case of 'afternoon tea milk tea', 'sugar' comes after 'milk'.



The nutritional information display is also almost the same before and after the renewal. Per 100ml, energy is 10kcal, protein 0.6g, fat 0.6g, carbohydrate 0.6g (sugar 0g). Only the amount of salt equivalent was 0.08g after renewal and 0.07g before renewal, which was a slight increase.



'Afternoon Black Tea Milk Tea' has 36kcal of energy, 0-1g of protein, 0-1g of quality, 7.3g of carbohydrates, and 0.07g of salt equivalent per 100ml. It can be said to be a completely different thing.



When several people compared the drinks, the difference between before and after the renewal was not that big, but the impression was that the one before the renewal had a slightly stronger 'black tea' feeling, and the one after the renewal had a stronger 'milk' feeling. was. However, an editorial staff member who usually makes and drinks milk tea with 1 part black tea and 1 part milk said, ``I feel like the tea after the renewal tastes more bitter than the product before the renewal.'' It seems that they felt that the flavor came out strongly, and it seems that quite fine balance adjustments have been made.



The renewed 'Afternoon Tea Delicious Unsweetened Milk Tea' will be available from March 5, 2024 (Tuesday), and the 500ml plastic bottle costs 160 yen excluding tax, and the 430ml plastic bottle costs 147 yen excluding tax.
