KIRIN Afternoon Tea has a natural tea aroma and a refreshing taste. The original, milk tea, and lemon tea flavors each have their own distinctive qualities. The original black tea is fresh and smooth, while the lemon tea has a slightly tart, fruity aroma. My favorite is the milk tea, which is rich and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sweet. It goes down even more smoothly when chilled and is especially refreshing in hot weather.
