Aoki Fruits Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, President: Daisuke Aoki), which operates the fruit juice bar "Kajyu Kobo Karin," will launch four types of "Fruit Tea" that allow customers to enjoy the fruitiness unique to a fruit specialty store, available exclusively at four locations starting July 7, 2026. The fruit teas will feature classic lemon and seasonal peach, offered in both black tea and hibiscus tea variations, presenting a perfect summer beverage that enhances the fruit's flavor.
A Fruit Tea Where Fruit Takes Center Stage, Possible Only at a Fruit Specialty Store
Amidst the growing popularity of fruit-based tea drinks, Kajyu Kobo Karin developed these fruit teas to allow customers to enjoy the taste of seasonal fruits more casually and in various styles, embodying the concept: "A Fruit Tea Where Fruit Takes Center Stage, Possible Only at a Fruit Specialty Store." To fully showcase the appeal of the fruits, they are paired with complementary organic teas, creating a beverage that enhances the fruitiness while offering a refreshing aftertaste.
The tea leaves used are "Organic Pure Black" and "Organic Wild Berry Hibiscus" from the premium tea brand "Mighty Leaf," which originated in San Francisco, USA. During the trial production, significant effort was made to achieve a balance that maximizes the fruits' natural flavors while still allowing the aroma of the tea to be distinctly perceived, leading to numerous adjustments in the formulations. The result is a beverage that allows customers to savor the natural sweetness and flavor of each fruit, with a clean taste that is easy to drink even on hot days. As a way to enjoy fruits differently from fruit juice, these drinks are designed not only for existing Kajyu Kobo Karin customers but also for health-conscious individuals and those who may not typically drink fruit juice but enjoy tea.
Appearance of the actual store
At the stores, tea will be served from dedicated dispensers. Slices of orange will be placed in the black tea, and slices of lemon in the hibiscus tea. This arrangement, visible through the transparent dispensers, highlights the vibrant colors of the fruit, expressing the freshness unique to a fruit specialty store. The refreshing and elegant visual of real fruit and tea creates anticipation for the drink to come, enhancing the summer experience with a visually cool presentation.
