Kyoto Rikyuen will release a second line of Fate/Grand Order tea blends. This time, it’ll feature Merlin, Nero Claudius, and Taigong Wang.
The teas will be available via the Kyoto Rikyu-en website until October 20, 2024. People who bought them can expect to see the teas some time near the end of December 2024. The timing of the teas makes it perfect for a late Christmas present for a loved one, friend, or even yourself. When you purchase a box of tea, you also get an original paper sleeve and acrylic stand.
Each Fate/Grand Order tea box costs 7700 JPY ($53.50) and you get two blends with it. One is the basic dark hojicha that Kyoto Rikyu-en is known for. The other one is a special blend that draws inspiration from the character in question. The Merlin blend’s name can translate to “Dream of Flowers,” and it combines white sencha with the fragrance of grapes and edible flowers. As for the Taigong Wang tea, it’s based on the xiantao (peach of immortality) from Chinese mythology. It’s a peach-flavored pu’er tea. Finally, the Emperor of Roses tea for Nero is a Japanese black tea with the fragrance of roses.
Previously, when Kyoto Rikyu-en last had a collaboration with Lasengle, it featured the Servants Douman, Katsushika Hokusai, and Morgan. Those teas were also open for pre-order from September to October, with a release window of December. It’s possible that this will become a yearly tradition with Kyoto Rikyu-en.
Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices.
