Morning Banana

Yes. It says "Morning Banana" on there. 朝バナナ. It's also a drink. One of those you get for a quick energy burst kinda thing. And it might be one of those that has the jelly inside, but I don't know cuz I didn't check. But jelly drinks are pretty cool.

[Review] Mango Milk Tea

Yes, mango milk tea. Mango drinks by themselves aren't bad. I like mango juices and stuff. But I wasn't sure how it would be when combined with milk tea so I got it. Hehe.



Honestly, I'm not too sure what to think of it. There's definitely a mango taste, if that's the most important thing for you. But the combination with the tea is kinda funky. You can taste the mango, then a little later you can taste the milk tea, but then it kinda mixes together and you're not quite sure what it is anymore...

It's a good sweetness though. Not too horribly sweet like some drinks, so I like that. After drinking about half of it I've gotten used to its weird blend and it goes down quite nicely. I probably wouldn't get it again for the 158 yen though...

Sakura drinks

So now comes the drinks that are sakura-flavored.

This is part of the Desserts Series from Kochakaden (紅茶花伝), which is a milk tea by Coca-Cola. They made the caramel-flavored tea that I mentioned in the last drinks post I made. So this one is sakura-fragrant (薫る桜 - kaoru sakura). Maybe it's just the smell then? Since I'm not sure how you would make a drink that tasted like sakura. But hey, there were sakura-flavored chips a while back.

And this is Sakura Mist by Canada Dry. I'm not sure what kind of drink this is though, so don't ask me...

Bitter caramel tea

The first time posting a drink! Yay!

I had actually wanted to post a couple pics of dessert-flavored milk tea before, but they weren't selling them anymore by the time I started this. ::sigh:: Oh well.

Anyway, this is Lipton's Bitter Caramel tea. I've seen caramel-flavored drinks before, and the caramel milk tea I've had was actually pretty good, but I'm not sure what they mean by "bitter" caramel. Maybe something like bitter chocolate? But I've never even heard of bitter caramel before... Either way, it was an interesting find.
