Regarding "Summer Tap & Lemonade" from the Brand Manager
"Summer is a season to enjoy tea with more freedom and lightness. Traditionally, tea and black tea have been considered beverages to be savored slowly over time. "TEAS ON TAP" was created to overturn that concept.
By serving from a tap, you can immediately enjoy a high-quality and delicious tea experience on the spot. Furthermore, by adding carbonation or nitrogen, we have achieved rich aromas even in cold drinks. You can encounter a unique tea experience from Smith Teamaker without waiting."
