[FamilyMart] Introducing new autumn sweets! Drinks created under the "Afternoon Tea" brand that's a hot topic on social media

Hello. I love finding cheap and delicious food! I'm Maruchin, a writer.

Afternoon Tea is a popular tea brand that has expanded its tea rooms nationwide since its launch in 1981. Did you know that a collaboration between Afternoon Tea and FamilyMart is now on sale, offering frappes and drinks?

You can easily buy products supervised by Afternoon Tea at your local Family Mart, and they taste amazing! That's why they've become a hot topic on social media.

This time, we will introduce frappes and rooibos tea supervised by Afternoon Tea.

FamilyMart is currently running a "FamilyMart Sweet Potato Digging" campaign, which offers a wide range of sweets and breads made with sweet potatoes, which are very popular at this time of year every year. We have selected two sweet potato desserts that go well with Afternoon Tea's frappes and rooibos tea and will introduce them to you here. Be sure to try them as a set for your autumn tea time!

1: So popular that it's finally being re-released! "Afternoon Tea Royal Milk Tea Frappe"

This one has been especially popular on social media! "Afternoon Tea Royal Milk Tea Frappe" (350 yen).

In fact, it was also sold for a limited time in August 2021, but due to its popularity and the many requests for it to be re-released, it will be available for sale year-round from May of this year! This is sure to raise expectations.

After purchasing the frappe, first give the milk tea flavored shaved ice a good squeeze and then open the lid. There are lots of tea flavored cookies on top!

The tea cookies are crispy and slightly salty, adding a nice accent to the dish.

It's easy to see why it's so popular! It's amazing that you can buy this for only 350 yen, considering its rich flavor. It can also be enjoyed at home by adding milk, so it's a good idea to stock it in your freezer.

This is "Afternoon Tea's Peach-scented Rooibos Tea 600ml" (108 yen).

When poured into a glass, the reddish brown color unique to rooibos tea is beautiful and visually gorgeous! It comes in a 600ml bottle, so it's very satisfying to drink.

When you drink it, you first smell the aroma of peach, followed by the distinctive flavor of rooibos tea.

It's unsweetened so it's not sweet, but the peach aroma gives it a fruity taste.

It has a refreshing taste, so you can gulp it down with your meals. It's caffeine-free, so it's perfect for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children. It's a drink you'll want to have every day!

3: The key is the crispy, fragrant potato! "Beni Haruka Sweet Potato Crepes"

Next, we'll introduce a dessert that goes well with drinks! This is the "Beni Haruka Sweet Potato Crepe" (348 yen). As the name suggests, this crepe is made with Beni Haruka sweet potatoes.

The crepe dough is filled with toasted sweet potato, crumbles, and two types of cream, and is topped with caramel sauce.

The great thing about it is that it is wrapped in film, so you can eat it without getting your hands dirty.

When you try it, the first thing you'll notice is the chewy dough! The whipped cream and sweet potato cream have a creamy, fluffy texture that's irresistible.

The inside contains crumbles that are like finely crushed cookie dough, which adds texture and makes it satisfying to eat.

And the most delicious thing of all is the sweet potato ♡ It's rich, has a strong potato flavor, and goes perfectly with the caramel sauce!

In addition, since the surface is toasted, it has a very fragrant flavor and tastes just like roasted sweet potato.

The sweetness and quantity are just right, making it the perfect accompaniment to tea!

4: Sweet potato from top to bottom! "Sweet potato Mont Blanc"

Lastly, here is the "Sweet Potato Mont Blanc" (320 yen). This Mont Blanc in a cup is filled with sweet potatoes from top to bottom!

The golden sweet potato and cream look absolutely delicious.

It is layered with sweet potato cream and sauce, sweet potato paste similar to kinton, whipped cream, and sweet potato Mont Blanc cream, topped with diced sweet potato, black sesame seeds and caramel sauce, and also has a meringue coating inside.

I was excited to try it, wondering what it would taste like.

The Mont Blanc cream has a strong potato flavor and is not too sweet, which goes perfectly with the milky whipped cream.

The diced sweet potatoes on top are steamy and you can taste the flavor of the ingredients themselves, making it very satisfying to eat. The sweet potato paste is sticky and rich, making it irresistible for potato lovers!

There is a crunchy meringue coating near the bottom, which adds a nice accent to the Mont Blanc as a whole.

Surprisingly, it had a clean aftertaste and was easy to eat, and I finished it in no time! It was a very satisfying dish that went perfectly with a drink.
