This is the Morinaga Lipton Lemon Tea Ice Cream Sandwich.

It comprised black tea cookies encasing lemon cream-flavoured ice cream with ribbons of lemon sauce woven throughout, using 6% lemon juice. Each piece was circular, 8 cm in diameter and 2 cm in height, releasing a gentle black tea aroma on opening.

On tasting, the cookie surface was slightly soft and left a light residue on one’s fingers, yet retained sound structural integrity for the sandwich. The black tea profile within the biscuits presented as mellow and fruity, infused cleanly into the cookie without introducing additional texture, bitterness, or astringency. The lemon ice cream delivered a creamy counterpoint, marked by a soft, sweet lemon character, while the lemon sauce contributed a sharper edge. Its icier texture and vivid zesty tang introduced a lively jolt that cut neatly through the creamier elements.

Overall, the interplay between the black tea cookies, lemon-cream ice cream, and tangy lemon sauce formed a cohesive and refreshing take on lemon tea, with the contrast between mellow tea and bright citrus carrying the experience.
