◐ Taste

Strawberry and lactose deliver immediate rounded sweetness on the entry, balanced by crisp cucumber that cuts across the mid-palate. The Lactobacillus-derived acidity rises gradually, creating a tart, thirst-quenching sensation without sharp edges. Bitterness is minimal, allowing fruit and tartness to play freely.
