Clean and precise fermentation. Expertly engineered for maximum flavour. Pressed for unparalleled value.
So, how does it taste? In a recent independent consumer study*, test subjects reported such things as ‘It tastes like sweet vanilla!’, ‘Such a rich and smooth mouthfeel, wow!’, and ‘It makes me feel slightly less depressed about not having a real job and being forced to do these stupid consumer studies to pay my overpriced rent.’.
Whether you’re just dipping your tongue-tip into the chocolate-coloured, earthy waters of ripe puer, or already paying extra to your dentist to whiten your teeth after abusing it, KUURACORP® brand KUURA-COLA deserves an esteemed place in your collection.
Also available here in a single-serve KUURACoin™ format, for sampling and convenience purposes.

Grandpa Style!
So this is what I drank during my reread for the episode. It was both easy and hard to choose a tea because, like a lot of the fandoms I’ve picked, I know this fandom so intimately that I’ve drank a great number of teas with this in the part and so I sort of knew stylistically what I might want to explore. The world is SO vast though that I firmly believe you could pick virtually any tea and it would resonate with something in the story.
This is a super thick, syrupy and oily shou with a lot of dense, decaying wet Earth notes. Really heavy and rich. My thought process for this was kind of inspired by Fallout’s Nuka Cola. I just liked the almost dystopian idea of a world like Saga’s having a drink like “Kuura Cola” that’s just this thousand year old evolution of canned cola/soda where the name/corporation has stayed in tact but the drink itself is nowhere near what we today would associate with, like, a coke.
Like, I could picture ANY of the character in the series picking up a can of this cola/tea and loving it but, like, it would probably be flat and thick and oily with the taste of, y’know, shou pu’erh and as readers the joke would be that they love it but it’s not really cola at all…
I don’t know – it was sort of a weird idea/thought process but it brought me great joy exploring it in my own head and I really ended up liking the pairing a lot!
