Ito En O~i Ocha Maroyaka Kankitsu Green Tea Lemon & Mikan

This is the Ito En O~i Ocha Maroyaka Kankitsu Green Tea Lemon & Mikan. It contained lemon and mikan extract but no fruit juice.

The tea had a transparent golden-yellow hue with a fragrant citrus aroma highlighting both lemon and mikan. These citrus notes were prominent in the first half of each sip, with a slight zesty lemon quality and a mellow sweetness from the mikan. The flavour captured the essence of the fruit without the tingling numbness or bitterness often associated with citrus oils, instead offering the refreshing character of the juice itself. In the second half of the sip, the green tea became more pronounced, bringing forward vegetal grassy notes and a noticeable bitterness in the finish, followed by a lingering astringency in the aftertaste. While the yuzu hōjicha was more enjoyable, this tea provided a refreshing, calorie-free, unsweetened flavoured tea option.

This Ito En O~i Ocha Maroyaka Kankitsu Green Tea Lemon & Mikan contained 600 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
