A pallet of ripe strawberries from the 80s meets a litre of Food Science Grape Juice® from the 50s in a sunlit orchard of recently bloomed orange trees off the coast of forever and ever.
Yeah, it’s that good.
2024 marks the return of ripes to KUURACORP™ in a big way, and for good reason too. More ripes in the lineup means more rotation on (y)our daily basis, which equals greater chance for aging cakes as time softens that characteristic fermented ‘za into a mellow and enduring sweetness. More ripes, less downtime, and the wide open road.
Syrup was borne out of a desire for a ripe of equal moorishness to Kuura-Cola®, albeit with a bolder sweetness and more body if we can help it. Made from a blend of tea materials from 2021 and 2022, these piles are (finally) coming out of their fermenting cage and you’ll find they’re doing more than just fine.
When brewed, this tea yields an unmistakably viscous body with a warm spiced wood fragrance and pronounced sticky-sweetness. It’s suited to multiple steeps and you can count on exactly 0 astringency from rinse to finish. If you’re looking for a highly drinkable, fragrant and syrupy sweet ripe, it’s as Rick Astley almost said — ‘you couldn’t get this from any other ripe’.
