This is the Kirin Gogo no Kōcha Espresso Tea Latte, a milk tea made using micro tea leaves, espresso-extracted at high temperature and pressure to create a rich black tea.

The beverage had an opaque dark tan hue with a sweet aroma of black tea and milk. When consumed chilled, it started with a bright sweetness, similar to the original milk tea, accompanied by a creamy mouthfeel. As the sip progressed, the beverage developed its own distinct profile, featuring smooth and bold tea notes without any astringency or bitterness. This resulted in a richly flavoured milk tea with the familiar chocolatey notes of the original, but with a more aromatic and fragrant tea finish that lingered cleanly without dairy aftertaste. Overall, this espresso tea latte captured the richness of black tea, offering a superior and sweet flavour that makes it worth repurchasing.
