I tried T’s CLOVER's black tea and scones!
I visited the salon of T’s CLOVER in Mizushima and enjoyed their black tea and scones.
Here are some of the black tea and scones offered by this specialty store!
Tea Soda
As a black tea specialty store, I imagined they would provide fragrant black tea, but I was surprised to see a style of tea I had never encountered before.
▼This is Bergamot Honey Lemonade, made by mixing black tea with special syrup and carbonated water.
A drink made by mixing black tea with carbonated water is called tea soda.
Since it was my first experience with tea soda, I had no idea what to expect in terms of flavor, and I nervously took a sip.
There was no bitterness from the black tea, and a gentle flavor from the aroma of the black tea combined with the refreshing taste of the carbonation spread in my mouth.
The gradient of black tea, syrup, and carbonated water is also beautiful, making it a drink that is enjoyable to the eyes as well.
I discovered a new way to enjoy black tea.
You can drink tea soda from the food truck that participates in market events.
An Butter Scone
Next, I tried T’s CLOVER's popular product, the An Butter Scone.
▼While referred to as An Butter Scone, there is a variety of types.
From left to right in the photo, there are sweet potato an, red bean paste (matcha), chestnut an, black sesame an, and red bean paste (plain).
I was torn about which one to eat, but I chose the basic flavor, red bean paste (plain).
Although I thought I could eat it in one bite due to its size, I could barely fit half of it in my mouth.
The sweet an and the heavy texture of the scone filled my mouth, allowing me to enjoy a rich flavor.
The An Butter Scone is also available from the food truck that participates in market events.
