When I was little I used to eat those Japanese jelly gel-cup candies. You know, the kind that they have warnings on them now, that you can choke on them if you swallow it whole. Luckily I didn’t choke on any of them. lol The two types I liked were the grape flavored ones and the other the ever-popular mango ones. This tea kind of sort of reminds me of the grape ones.
It doesn’t taste nearly as artificial as the Muscat which tasted a lot like grape soda. This one has a good sencha base, and it doesn’t have quite the candy-soda-like taste but more of a realistic grape flavor. This one and the Yamabudo (Mountain grape) oolong are both pretty good. The Muscat would be good to those who like Fanta grape soda. It has a slight bitterness to it that mimics the slip-skin part of the Budou (humongous almost black grapes). It’s super aromatic like the others but the flavor is mild.
So I finished going through all the “grape” Lupicias. I think I like the Yamabudou over the Bodou Green over the Muscat.

Ooooh, the mango jelly cups! Thank you for reminding me of that guilty pleasure.
:D They are so yummy and pretty inexpensive. Yay for guilty pleasure!
I second that. Plus I welcome wandering down that aisle and seeing what else I can pick up to try.
Whoa, it’s very odd Lupicia has so many different grape flavors. I’d think they’d just throw the same grape flavor on all their teas.
Looks like they did one in green tea (this one), one in black tea (Muscat) and one in oolong (Yamabudo)… And when I did the search a few others too lol. I think they love their grapes lol.
