I tried 'Craft Boss Blue Ceylon Tea Unsweetened,' which tastes like oolong tea and can be drunk easily, and 'Craft Boss Luxury Milk Tea,' which has a strong milky taste.
Suntory's 'Craft Boss World TEA' series will be joined by the new ' Blue Ceylon Tea Unsweetened ' and ' Luxury Milk Tea ' on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. This time, the new products were sent to the GIGAZINE editorial department early, so I tried them.

I tried 'Fruit Tea Ade Peach & Mango' and 'Tea Lemonade with Cool Lime' from Suntory's 'Craft Boss World TEA', which has a gorgeous fruit aroma and a gorgeous taste - GIGAZINE
These are the new products 'Blue Ceylon Tea Unsweetened' and 'Luxury Milk Tea'.
The 'Craft Boss' series features elaborate bottle designs, with the Boss's face and logo printed on the neck of the bottle.
Additionally, the 'Craft Boss' logo is printed on the narrow bottom part.
'Blue Ceylon Tea Unsweetened' is a product that 'blends two types of black tea with oolong tea.' The ingredients were 'black tea (71% Ceylon), oolong tea, flavoring, and vitamin C.'
It contains 0kcal per 100ml, and 0g of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and sugar.
When I tried it, the aroma was that of black tea, but the taste was closer to that of oolong tea, which left a rather strange impression. Since it is unsweetened, it has no distinctive taste, and is neither bitter nor astringent, so I thought it would go well with anything.
On the other hand, the 'Luxury Milk Tea' is a classic milk tea made by adding rich milk to three types of black tea. The ingredients include sugar, milk, dairy products, and black tea.
It contains 32 kcal per 100 ml, so if you drink a 600 ml bottle, it contains 192 kcal.
In order to create a milky taste that does not lose to the richness of black tea, 'minerals + condensed milk' is added, so it has a refreshing yet sweet taste with a core. One editor who loves milk tea seemed to like it, saying that it has a 'solid richness like royal milk tea,' but another editor seemed to be a little concerned about the strength of the sweetness of the milky taste.
'Craft Boss Blue Ceylon Tea Unsweetened' has a suggested retail price of 170 yen (excluding tax), and 'Craft Boss Luxury Milk Tea' has a suggested retail price of 185 yen (excluding tax), both of which will be released on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
