Well-established Tapioca Milk Tea shop Chun Sui Tang releases Autumn-limited Hōjicha drink!

25.September.2018 | FOOD

Taiwanese cafe Chun Sui Tang is releasing an original Japanese-style drink that will only be available this Autumn! The brand new Tapioca Hōjicha Milk Tea will be released on Wednesday 26th September.

 

Hōjicha, a type of Japanese green tea that involves roasting the tea leaves in a specific way, is fused with tapioca milk tea. The new creation introduces a new way to enjoy flavours. As the tea leaves are sourced from Shizuoka, all the raw ingredients are free from additives and are 100% national produce. A master tea specialist carefully roasts the tea leaves using a far infrared roaster and continues the process until the stem is reached. At this point, the tea is turned into a fine powder and a wonderful aroma drifts through the air. The texture of the chewy tapioca combined with the mildly bitter Hōjicha milk and fluffy cream makes for a great combination. Enjoy a wonderful Japanese-style original tapioca drink which makes for a great dessert!

 

…but that’s not all the shop has to offer!! This year, the autumn-limited “Tapioca Adzuki Milk Tea” is making a comeback! You can also choose to enjoy the drink along with a set menu that includes Taiwanese Noodles ー highly recommended!

 

Enjoy the luxurious combination of the rich aroma of roasted green tea and the chewy texture of tapioca milk tea! It’s just like drinking a dessert!

    Mcdonald’s Japan’s seasonal autumn-time matcha series of drinks is a huge hit every year. This year they are putting in even more matcha powder from Uji in each of the drinks to make the matcha flavour even more full-bodied.


    Brown Sugar Syrup & Soybean Flour Matcha Frappe: M ¥490 / L ¥530

    The popular Brown Sugar Syrup & Soybean Flour Matcha Frappe was first brought to McDonald’s in Japan last year. It takes the classic matcha latte frappe made with delicious milk farmed in Japan and combines it with rich and flavoursome soybean flour as well as brown sugar syrup from Okinawa Prefecture. It’s topped with chewy white rice flour dumplings and whipped cream. It’s creamy and irresistible.


    Matcha Latte Frappe: M ¥450 / L ¥490

    By adding more Uji matcha to the Matcha Latte Frappe they have added an extra layer of richness of the drink. The whipped cream is sprinkled with matcha powder giving it a Japanese-style taste and appearance.

     


    Iced Matcha Latte: M ¥390 / L ¥430

    The characteristic of the Iced Matcha Latte is the full-bodied flavour created by the bitter Uji matcha and milk. Like the Matcha Latte Frappe, the whipped cream is complemented by powdered matcha which gives a Japanese flavour to this dessert drink.


    Matcha Latte: S ¥350 / M ¥390
