Product information
About
An instant royal milk tea powder in eight single-cup sticks that you stir into hot water, and it tastes of sweet, milky black tea. Buy it if you want a sweet milk tea in a minute; if you want tea without sweetness or a strong black brew, this is the wrong product.
On the pack: 紅茶オレ (koh-cha oh-reh, "tea au lait"), the pack's own name for this royal milk tea, under the Blendy stick logo.
What you're getting
- Royal milk tea is the Japanese name for black tea made rich with milk; this is an instant mix you make up with hot water, not tea brewed in milk.
- There is no tea bag or leaf in the stick: the tea is a powdered black-tea extract, mixed with creamer.
- The sweetness comes from sugar plus two sweeteners, aspartame and acesulfame K.
- It contains caffeine, from the tea, so it is not a caffeine-free drink.
- The milkiness comes from creamer powder and skim milk powder, not fresh milk.
- Allergens: milk. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
- Also on the label: it contains aspartame, a source of phenylalanine, so anyone with phenylketonuria (PKU) should skip it.

Our guide
How to eat it
- For a hot milk tea, tip one stick into a mug.
- Pour in about 180 mL of hot water, AGF's usual amount for its sticks.
- Stir until no powder is left floating on top.
Good to know
- If it tastes thin, use less water next time, or top it up with warm milk instead of more water.
- It is not one of the sticks made to stir straight into cold milk, so for an iced one, dissolve the stick in about 90 mL of hot water first, then add five or six ice cubes and stir until cold.

My kids love it and complain if there's none in the house, so I keep some in stock.

- Mixed feelings
It feels a bit too sweet, but when I'm tired it's just right.
少し甘過ぎる気はしますが疲れている時はちょうどいいと感じます。
from monolog
- What they like
It tasted more of tea than the honey version, and it was good.
はちみつ入りのより紅茶感が強く感じられて美味しかったです。
from monolog

Not too strong, and I find myself wanting it now and then.
濃すぎず、たまに飲みたくなる。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
I do think getting the amount of hot water right is a bit tricky.
お湯を入れる加減が難しいかなぁとは思います。
from monolog
- What they like
Rather than water alone, dissolve it in hot water and add plenty of milk; of course it gets milkier, and it's delicious.
お湯だけで飲むより、お湯で溶いて牛乳多めに加えて飲むと当たり前だけどミルク感が増して美味しいです。
from monolog

It was a little sweet, but chilled it works in the hot months too.
多少は甘みがありましたが、暑い季節には冷やして飲むのもありですね😃
from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site
- What they like
Lots of makers do a tea au lait, but this one feels the most standard, and I never tire of it.
紅茶オレ、いろいろなメーカーから出ているけど、これが一番スタンダードな感じで飽きない。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
Unless you use quite a lot less water, it tastes thin.
お湯はかなり少なめではないと味が薄いです。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
I don't like sweet things, so I don't drink it myself.
私は甘いのが苦手なので飲みません。
from monolog
- What they like
At the very least, it isn't the same kind of thing as bottled Gogo no Kocha, a Japanese bottled tea.
少なくとも、ペットボトルの午後の紅茶の類ではない。
from mognavi
- What they like
So once the weather cools, I tend to keep Blendy's tea au lait sticks in stock.
なので、ブレンディのスティックタイプのやつ(紅茶オレ)は、涼しくなる時期にはわりと常備してる。
