This is the Kirin Fire Aroma Brew Latte.

The beverage had an opaque dark brown hue with an intensely aromatic roasted coffee aroma. When consumed chilled, it opened with a mellow sweetness before light coffee notes emerged, each sip revealing a much gentler roasted flavour than the aroma suggested. As the coffee became more pronounced on the palate, a touch of milk combined with the initial sweetness and roasted depth, evoking the impression of a well-balanced iced coffee or even an iced hot chocolate. The finish was clean, with only a subtle hint of coffee and the barest trace of bitterness, avoiding any lingering coffee breath.

Overall, this was a smooth latte, with the expected coffee intensity softened by the milk and sugar, as anticipated. Nonetheless, it was a solid choice for those who prefer a balanced coffee with restrained sweetness rather than a black brew.

This Kirin Fire Aroma Brew Latte contained 400 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
