This is the Kagome Herb Kaoru Juice Fermented White Grape & Chamomile Blend. It contained a blend of 70% fruit juice from apples, white grapes, pineapple and lime with chamomile.

On tasting, the earthy floral notes of chamomile came through immediately, starting subtly before building to a dominant intensity mid-sip. In the second half of the sip, the chamomile notes receded, giving way to the juicy and fruity notes of muscat with a mellow sweetness. The addition of pineapple heightened the hint of tropical acidity found in some muscat varietals. The pairing of chamomile with muscat was surprising, imparting an earthy herbal quality that was unexpectedly enjoyable and soothing, tasting exactly like a chamomile tea blended with grape, achieving a balanced acidity and sweetness.

Overall, this beverage was worth repurchasing for its soothing herbal aroma, refreshing sweetness, and subtle fruity notes, all without added sugar.

This Kagome White Grape & Chamomile Juice contained 195 ml. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
