This is the Coca-Cola Kōcha Kaden Gensen Shibori Apple Tea, featuring black tea blended with apple juice from China and domestic Fuji apple extract.
The beverage presented with a translucent golden brown hue. Aroma opened with crisp, fruity black tea notes supported by mellow apple sweetness.
Initial contact delivered an immediate apple profile alongside smooth sweetness. Through the mid-palate, the crisp notes of the fruity black tea emerged while maintaining a smooth mouthfeel without bitterness or astringency. The sweetness remained soft through the body, then rose towards the finish with the natural honeyed sweetness of Fuji apple alongside crisp notes of apple skin. This lingered briefly before a clean and refreshing aftertaste, carrying a touch of lingering astringency but no bitterness.
Overall, a black tea beverage with a rising flavour trajectory and smooth mouthfeel integration, resulting in a clean progression from soft apple sweetness to crisp black tea and Fuji apple notes.
This Coca-Cola Kōcha Kaden Gensen Shibori Apple Tea contained 280 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
