KUMORI COLLABS WITH SERENITEA, BLK 513

The latest in Kumori’s collaborations is the Okinawa Milk Tea Cake Cup which combines the Japanese bakery’s adept hand in creating light and luscious treats with Serenitea’s bestseller — the Okinawa Milk Tea. This festive multi-layered cake cup starts with a crispy crumble base, followed with alternating layers of fluffy sponge and creamy milk tea flavored mousse.

Not too sweet and sure to be a hit with milk-tea lovers, the dessert is priced at P79 per cup and can be ordered via their website, online delivery apps, as well as in stores nationwide.

Another collaboration, this time with BLK 513, is Kumori's limited-edition Melon Pan.

With the healthy charcoal activated influence of yogurt purveyor BLK 513, Kumori's famous Melon Pan gets a charcoal biscuit crisp on top while still having its trademark soft pillowy texture inside. With a luscious cream cheese center, a bite has textures and flavors from crisp to soft, and sweet to lightly tangy.
