A refreshing sparkling tea with popping carbonation and the scent of lychee 'Kirin Afternoon Tea Sparkling Lychee Squash' tasting review
Kirin Afternoon Tea Sparkling Lychee Squash , part of the classic Afternoon Tea series of black tea beverages, will be available for a limited time from Tuesday, July 2, 2024. We tried this sparkling tea, which combines the refreshing taste of carbonation with black tea, with the aroma of lychee and a secret taste of tonic and spices.

This is 'Kirin Afternoon Tea Sparkling Lychee Squash'.
It is a carbonated drink without fruit juice.
The raw materials are 'sugars (fructose glucose liquid sugar (domestically produced), sugar)', 'lychee juice', 'salt', and 'black tea', and additives include 'carbonic acid', 'acidulant', 'flavoring', and 'caramel color'. The reason why the bottle is labeled 'no juice' even though lychee juice is used as an ingredient is because the amount of juice used is small.
Calories are 20kcal per 100ml. It comes in a 500ml bottle, so one bottle contains 100kcal.
I'll pour it into a glass and drink it right away.
When you take a sip, the carbonation is just right and the aroma of lychee spreads in your mouth at the same time, making it a fruity drink with a modest sweetness. On the other hand, as it is listed quite far back in the ingredients column, there is almost no black tea flavor, and the aroma of black tea is mixed with the slight bitterness you feel after drinking it. This crisp bitterness leaves a refreshing aftertaste, making it a slightly adult-oriented afternoon tea that you would want to drink when it's hot or when you want to refresh your mood.
'Kirin Afternoon Tea Sparkling Lychee Squash' is available nationwide for a limited time from Tuesday, July 2, 2024, and is priced at 160 yen excluding tax. At the time of writing, 24 bottles were available for order at Amazon.co.jp for 3,360 yen including tax (140 yen including tax per bottle).
