This is the Kirin Gogo no Kōcha Fruits Ice Tea White Grape & Lemon, featuring a green tea base flavoured with 7% fruit juice from white grape and lemon.

The beverage presented with a translucent pale yellow hue and high clarity. Aroma opened with sweet juicy white grape notes carrying a distinctly muscat-like floral character.

Initial contact delivered immediate sweet white grape notes with a soft muscat presence alongside a smooth still mouthfeel. The fruit profile leaned towards fragrant white grape juice rather than confectionery sweetness, giving the beverage a cleaner and more restrained structure. Lemon zest notes subtly lifted the floral aspects of the grape without introducing immediate acidity.

Through the mid-palate, gentle astringency from the green tea base emerged beneath the fruit profile alongside soft vegetal undertones. The tea component added structure and prevented the white grape sweetness from becoming overly rounded or syrupy. Towards the finish, the lemon shifted from zest-like brightness into clearer acidity with a mildly puckering sourness that effectively cleared the earlier grape sweetness from the palate. As the acidity receded, soft muscat-like white grape notes lingered briefly in the aftertaste without significant residual sugariness. Texture remained smooth and still throughout with restrained tannic grip and no heaviness.

Overall, a fruit green tea beverage with a layered sweet-to-citrus flavour trajectory and highly integrated smooth mouthfeel, resulting in a clean and refreshing balance between floral white grape sweetness, restrained green tea structure, and palate-cleansing lemon acidity.
