This is the Suntory Craft Boss Sekai no Tea Mediteranean Squash, a black tea blended with 1% juice from Sicilian lemons and grapefruit fragrance.
The beverage appeared semi-opaque with an orange-pink hue, releasing a sweet, softly fruity aroma alongside fine, gentle carbonation.
When consumed chilled, it delivered smooth, fragrant black tea notes supported by a mellow citrus sweetness and soft acidity. The lemon subtly brightened the underlying fruitiness of the tea, while the grapefruit contributed an aromatic citrus dimension without introducing bitterness. Both the tea and citrus profiles were deliberately restrained yet remained full-bodied, standing in contrast to Cantonese-style lemon iced teas that emphasise intensity and sharpness in both flavour and caffeine. The light carbonation lifted the palate, leading to a refreshing finish and a clean, composed aftertaste.
Overall, a balanced and understated tea-based squash that prioritised drinkability and refinement over intensity.
This Suntory Craft Boss Sekai no Tea Mediteranean Squash contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
