This is the Lupicia Yorokobi.

In Japan, yorokobi means “happiness,” and this blend combines green tea and green rooibos with flavours of white peach and grapefruit.

Steeping 3 g in 200 mL of water at 85ºC for 2 minutes produced a transparent golden infusion with a mellow floral white peach aroma.

When consumed hot, the tea opened with soft floral notes of white peach, joined mid-sip by a gentle natural sweetness. Towards the finish, a subtle citrus sharpness from the grapefruit added lift, followed by a light astringency lingering in the aftertaste. The combination of rooibos and green tea created a light, smooth base, allowing the peach and grapefruit to provide depth and character without overwhelming.

Overall, a refreshing and mellow tea suitable for any time of day, though not distinctive enough to warrant repurchase.

This Lupicia Yorokobi contained 50 g. The tea was sourced from South Africa and Japan, packaged in Japan and purchased in Australia in 2024.
