This is the Genki Forest Red Bean Barley Tea, containing 3.5% red bean and 0.5% barley, with erythritol as the sweetener.
The beverage had a clear red-brown hue and a mild, sweet red bean aroma. When consumed chilled, it offered a mellow, earthy sweetness with a distinct red bean flavour. There was no noticeable bitterness from the artificial sweetener (erythritol), and the roasted barley subtly enhanced the nuttiness of the red bean without contributing its own flavour. It resembled a lighter, watered-down version of red bean soup, delivering the essence of red bean dessert without the texture, and leaving a clean aftertaste. Overall, it was a refreshing, traditional flavour with fewer calories.
