The chai, which is 50% milk and has a hint of spices like ginger, is a bit sweet but might be nice for the cooler season. I wonder if it will taste even better when warmed up?
Shirobara Chai Ore
KitatanSeptember 19, 2026★★★★★
Is the gentle sweetness thanks to the sugar? It's a product that prioritizes milk, but you can still really taste the black tea, and it's nice that there are no added flavors. 😊
Delicious Milk Tea
KitatanSeptember 19, 2026★★★★★
As it says with fresh cream, the richness is definitely present from the first bite. It's a bit sweet, but it's not just the sweetness from fructose and glucose syrup; there's also a depth of sweetness from sugar. I wish there was a bit more of a black tea flavor.
Lipton Creamy Black Tea Latte
KitatanSeptember 17, 2026★★★★★
Not a safe choice, but a milk tea with a strong sweetness. The tea flavor and richness are not very pronounced, but the milk is quite prominent.
Royal Milk Tea
KitatanSeptember 17, 2026★★★★★
The first sip has a rich creaminess, but as you continue drinking, it leaves a sharp aftertaste of milk tea. It's not too sweet, so it might be satisfying to drink from autumn!

It tastes like thin orange juice. I heard it uses Uva, but I can't really taste it... However, it's refreshing and perfect for gulping down in the summer.
