This is the Suntory Craft Boss Yuzu Honey Tea, a seasonal beverage designed for the cold and dry autumn and winter months. It features a blend of 9% fruit juice from orange, apple, and yuzu, combined with honey and royal jelly.

The tea had a clear golden-yellow hue and a distinctive floral honey aroma. Consumed chilled, the honey and royal jelly were immediately noticeable, with the floral notes of the yuzu enhancing the honey’s fragrance. The yuzu flavour itself was subtle, giving way to a more pronounced orange and honey profile, complemented by the fruity sweetness of apple juice. The black tea base added depth without introducing astringency or bitterness. The overall flavour was smooth and well-balanced, offering a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste. Its high quality and hydrating nature made it easy to consume in large quantities. However, the prominent presence of royal jelly might not suit all palates, making it less likely for immediate repurchase.

This Suntory Craft Boss Yuzu Honey Tea contained 600 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sendai, Japan in 2024.
