This is the Kirin Gogo no Kōcha Apple Tea Plus, containing 0.4% Japanese apple juice and enriched with galactooligosaccharides, which are said to improve gut health by increasing beneficial bifidobacteria.

The beverage had a translucent golden-yellow hue with a mellow aroma of sweet apple and black tea. When consumed chilled, crisp apple notes emerged at the start of each sip with a mild sweetness, followed by the aromatic flavour of black tea. Mid-sip, the apple notes returned with a refreshing sourness, resulting in a fragrant, tangy apple flavour with a subdued sweetness, complemented by the black tea’s aromatic undertones. Overall, this apple black tea was very enjoyable and worth repurchasing.

This Kirin Gogo no Kōcha Apple Tea Plus contained 430 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia.
