Ito-en Oolong-cha(Oolong Tea Drink)

About
Ito-en's Oolong Tea was first born in 1980, and sold soon after in March 1981 as a canned Oolong Tea drink. It was claimed by Ito-en to be the world's first Oolong tea drink. In 1986, the PET bottle version of the drink was sold, also a world first.

Taste
The taste is surprisingly good and makes for a good refreshment.

Teas' Tea Bergamot & Orange Tea

Teas' Tea is a brand of tea drinks sold by Ito-en, a Japanese company specializing in tea and soft drinks.
This is "Teas' Tea Bergamot & Orange Tea" and contains both bergamot orange and plain orange juice. It also claims to contain orange flower, to give it an accent. The drink is also 90% decaffeinated.

Taste
The drink is considerably sweet and the taste is basically tea with orange juice and sugar mixed in. You can also taste the bergamot orange in there but only slightly. Despite the tea-like appearance of the liquid, I would say the drink is not "tea" but more like orange juice with a little tea flavor added in.
