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.
