At Smith Teamaker Tasting Room's Shibuya and Yokohama locations, the seasonal program "Summer Tap & Lemonade" begins on July 14 (Tue), marking the arrival of early summer.
This season's theme is "Summer, but freer. Summer, but more fun." At the center of the lineup is "TEAS ON TAP," a new way of enjoying tea poured straight from a tap, much like beer. Carbonation brings a refreshing finish, while nitrogen creates a fine, creamy foam — expanding what a cup of tea can be. "Summer Tap & Lemonade" brings a bit of surprise and playfulness to the hot summer days.
Seasonal Cafe Menu
TAP TEA FLIGHT (In-Store Exclusive)
Available from July 14 (Tue), for a limited time.
A tasting flight of three teas poured from a beer tap.
The set includes the newly launched "Hibiscus Berry," letting guests sample all three "TEAS ON TAP" varieties in sequence. A fruity flavor, a silky-smooth texture, and a refreshing spiced finish — each tea has its own distinct character, making this an opportunity to experience Smith Teamaker's new take on tea in one sitting.
*This menu item is non-alcoholic.
Product appeal: "Jasmine Peach" layers peach and guava fruitiness over fragrant jasmine for a refreshing taste. "Nitro Chai" is smooth and deep in flavor, thanks to the fine foam created by nitrogen. And the newly launched "Hibiscus Berry" combines hibiscus's vivid tartness with a lingering finish of spice and fruit. Try all three and discover each tea's own character.

Seasonal Beverages
Hibiscus Berry (In-Store Exclusive)
Available from July 14 (Tue), for a limited time.
A sparkling drink bursting with juicy hibiscus and raspberry, capturing the sparkle of the sun.
A new addition to the "TEAS ON TAP" lineup poured from a beer tap, perfect for the coming season. "Hibiscus Berry" layers the bright tartness of hibiscus with the deep spice notes of kola nut, cardamom, and clove.
The fine carbonation from the tap brings out a vivid aroma and refreshing finish — a new "TEAS ON TAP" drink to brighten the summer heat.
Product appeal: "TEAS ON TAP" is Smith Teamaker's original method of serving tea using a craft beer tap, injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen (N2) to bring out the tea leaves' aroma. Even served cold, the aroma comes through clearly, and the texture is smooth and new.
This drink is made with "No. 24 Big Hibiscus," with soft vanilla sweetness rounding out the flavor for a taste reminiscent of Smith Teamaker's own craft cola.

Nitro Chai Latte (In-Store Exclusive)
Available from July 14 (Tue), for a limited time.
A silky, smooth cold treat for summer days.
"Nitro Chai Latte" adds milk to "Nitro Chai," the original drink in the "TEAS ON TAP" lineup, for a smoother, deeper flavor.
The fine foam created by nitrogen combines with the milk's gentle sweetness for a velvety-smooth texture, along with the rich aroma of chai spices and a creamy, satisfying finish.
Product appeal: "Nitro Chai Latte" is a new chai latte with a silky texture, created by pouring it from a beer tap along with nitrogen.
The fine foam blends with the milk's smoothness for a layered taste unlike a regular iced chai latte. Despite its rich texture, it has a light, flowing drinkability. The depth of the spices, the milk's gentle sweetness, and the creamy finish from the nitrogen make this a cool, indulgent drink for hot summer days.

From the Brand Manager
"Summer is a season to enjoy tea more freely, more lightly. Tea and black tea have traditionally been things to savor slowly, over time. 'TEAS ON TAP' was created to overturn that idea.
Pouring it straight from a tap lets you enjoy a high-quality, delicious tea experience right away. Adding carbonation or nitrogen also brings out a rich aroma even in a cold drink. Without the wait, anyone can casually encounter Smith Teamaker's distinctive tea experience."
— Shota Kondo, Brand Manager, Smith Teamaker Japan
