Pairing with the new line ofPersona 5 Royalthemed merchandiseis the reveal of beautiful and most likely delicious blended tea sets. The set of teas – which will go on sale December 17th of this year at the Tea Salon in Ginza, Tokyo – is themed after each party member inPersona 5 Royal, including newcomer Kasumi:

Naturally each character’s tea has a flavor profile based on their personality (with those flavors in English) and even brewing instructions on how to properly prepare the tea and best bring out those flavors. Said instructions are in Japanese of course but nothing that a simple Google translate wouldn’t help with.

You can check out and preorder the teashereand they come in two types: the envelope packaging is ï¿¥1250 and the special tin package version is ï¿¥1800.
