George Steuart Tea (ジョージスチュアートティー), a brand founded in 1835 and billed as Sri Lanka's oldest tea brand, will take part in "Scone & TEA Party 2026 @SAPPORO" (スコーン＆TEAパーティー 2026 @SAPPORO). The event runs from Thursday, November 19 to Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at the event space on the 9th floor of the Odori Building at Maruiimai Sapporo Main Store (丸井今井札幌本店).
This year, the brand is selling a stollen kneaded with leaves of its popular Earl Grey flavor for the first time. It is joined by a Royal Milk Tea Scone, baked with tea leaves simmered in milk, and an iced milk tea made with Jala honey. All of them are available in limited quantities each day.
New: Earl Grey and Hokkaido Apple Stollen
Earl Grey and Hokkaido Apple Stollen (アールグレイと北海道産りんごのシュトーレン)
This stollen has leaves of George Steuart Tea's popular Earl Grey flavor kneaded into the dough.
The semi-dried Hokkaido apples have a crisp texture. Cranberry adds tartness, and the aroma of homemade tea liqueur ties the flavors together. The wheat, eggs, milk, butter, and beet sugar are all from Hokkaido. The stollen can be enjoyed from the day of purchase.
One loaf (about 15 cm long, about 7 cm in diameter): ¥1,950
Limited to 5 per day
Note: Contains alcohol (tea liqueur).
Royal Milk Tea Scone Made With Tea Simmered in Milk
Royal Milk Tea Scone (ロイヤルミルクティースコーン)
Leaves of Dimbula tea are carefully simmered in milk and kneaded into the dough, and the scone is baked until fragrant. Breaking it open releases a refreshing tea aroma, and the aftertaste is clean.
One scone: ¥486
Limited to 30 per day
Jala Honey Milk Tea (ICE) Made With Rare Honey
