This is the Suntory Craft Boss Fuyu no Ichigō Milk Tea, a winter seasonal strawberry-flavoured black milk tea that contains no actual fruit juice.
The beverage had an opaque tan hue and a sweet strawberry milk tea aroma. When consumed chilled, it opened with distinct notes of sweet strawberry, followed mid-sip by a soft retreat of the fruit flavour that allowed the gentle aromatic qualities of the black tea to emerge. Toward the finish, the strawberry returned, tying the profile together in a manner reminiscent of the Gogo no Kōcha Milk Tea but with a brighter, fruitier accent. Despite its sweetness, the beverage concluded with an unexpectedly clean and crisp aftertaste, uncommon for milk-based teas. The flavour captured the richness and sweetness of a condensed milk-style milk tea, though the body itself lacked a particularly creamy mouthfeel.
Overall, a pleasant seasonal variation that balanced sweetness and fruit flavour without overwhelming the tea base.
This Suntory Craft Boss Fuyu no Ichigō Milk Tea contained 600 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
