Taiwanese oolong tea has arrived in Japan in plastic bottles. I tried 'Gongcha Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea' and 'Gongcha Alishan Oolong Peach Tea Ade'



Goncha, a Taiwan-based chain specializing in Taiwanese tea, and Kirin, which has led the Japanese tea beverage culture with 'Afternoon Tea' and 'Namacha', have teamed up to create ' Goncha Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea ' and ' Goncha Alishan Oolong Peach Tea Ade ', which will be available exclusively at 7-Eleven on Tuesday, July 2, 2024. I was curious about the taste of the milk tea, which is a harmonious blend of oolong tea from Fujian Province, China and the depth of brown sugar, and the peach tea ade, which uses Alishan oolong tea from Taiwan, which is characterized by its gorgeous aroma, so I tried it.

These are 'Gongcha Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea' and 'Gongcha Alishan Oolong Peach Tea Ade'.



First, I'll try the 'Kongcha Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea'.



The raw materials are 'milk,' 'sugar,' 'whole milk powder,' 'oolong tea,' etc. The oolong tea is from Fujian Province, China.



The calorie content is 40kcal per 100ml. Since it comes in a 400ml bottle, the calorie content per bottle is 160kcal.



With just one sip, you can clearly taste the rich milkiness, like milk caramel, and the fragrant flavor of the oolong tea, which is just as strong. This is combined with the rich sweetness of brown sugar, making it a drink that leaves a strong impression of a new way to drink oolong tea, known as 'oolong milk tea.'



Next, I will try 'Gongcha Alishan Oolong Peach Tea Ade'.



The raw materials are 'sugar,' 'peach juice,' 'oolong tea,' etc. The oolong tea is made with 50% Alishan oolong tea leaves from Taiwan.



Contains 1% peach juice.



It contains 35 kcal per 100 ml, so one bottle contains 140 kcal.



The main flavor is peach, with a fresh fruity aroma and the sweetness of peach. Another point is that after drinking it, the subtle aroma of oolong tea wafts through your nose, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.
