This is the Kasugai Lipton Muscat Tea in Gummy. It contained concentrated muscat juice and powdered black tea extract.
Each gummy was circular, about 2.4 cm in diameter and 1 cm in height, with an opaque caramel hue and a vibrant aroma of muscat and black tea. The surface of the gummy provided an initial sweetness, while biting through, the gummy offered a delectable resistance, about a 4 out of 5 on the Meiji softness-to-hardness scale. The aromatic notes of the black tea base were immediately evident alongside the muscat, capturing a fresh black tea flavour reminiscent of Darjeeling without bitterness or astringency. By mid-bite, each subsequent chew released a richer sweetness accompanied by a balanced hint of acidity, delivering a juicier muscat flavour. In the finish, the Darjeeling-like notes returned smoothly and lingered briefly in the aftertaste. Overall, the enjoyable texture and elegant flavour of this gummy made it worthy of repurchase.
