This is the Suntory Craft Boss Sekai no Tea Taiwan Lychee Tea, blending Sri Lankan Nuwara Eliya tea leaves, Chinese jasmine tea, juice from Taiwanese lychee and white grape (1%), and a touch of salt. The flavour profile draws inspiration from the popular pairing of summer fruits and jasmine tea often found in bubble tea shops.

The liquid poured a clear, pale yellow hue. The aroma was immediately fragrant—jasmine-led, with lifted notes of lychee and muscat grape.

Served well chilled, the first impression was vibrant muscat, lending aromatic brightness and a lightly honeyed sweetness. As the sip progressed, lychee moved to the forefront, offering juicy, balanced sweetness without becoming syrupy. In the latter half, dewy jasmine notes unfurled, adding layered floral complexity. A gentle tea-derived astringency provided structure without bitterness, while a subtle saline touch appeared at the finish, sharpening the fruit and enhancing refreshment—reminiscent of the salted lychee style seen in Japanese beverages.

Overall, this was a multi-layered and thoughtfully composed drink, combining the fresh, light sweetness of Taiwanese lychee and white grape with the expressive aroma of jasmine tea and a precise accent of salt. Bright, floral, and refreshingly restrained.
