In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of burn orient

The moment you open the can, a spicy aroma fills the air. The scent of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. I’m not fond of spiciness... (ヽ´ω`)

When I take a sip, I experience the sweet and rich taste of caramel with a slight tanginess, along with a subtle ginger flavor. Despite the strong spicy aroma, the taste is surprisingly easy to drink and calm. As someone who isn’t fond of spiciness, I was relieved ε-(´∀｀*)ﾎｯ

The sweetness is deep and smooth, and the flavor of the spices makes it a drink that invites you to enjoy a relaxed moment.

This flavor is in a similar category to the Red Bull Winter Edition Zwetschke-Zimtnelke released in Austria two years after burn orient. The spices are used as an accent when the aroma passes through the nose, not as a spiciness element, and the flavor itself is a rich, mellow sweetness that can be enjoyed as an adult energy drink.

For those who seek a refreshing punch in their energy drinks, burn orient might feel like a rather subtle flavor.

Energy Components of burn orient

Contains 37.5mg of caffeine, along with ginseng, guarana, and other ingredients.

Additionally, it contains 3% apple juice, spices like cloves, cinnamon, and ginger, and even honey. The slight thickness of the sweetness is likely due to this.

Design of burn orient

The classic Burn design is adorned with golden patterns. It has an intriguing beauty.

Upon closer inspection, there are patterns resembling chili peppers. I was a bit scared before drinking it, but I was relieved when it turned out to be a sweet and calming flavor (^_^;) Could these patterns symbolize spices?

“Mesir Macunu,” or mesir paste, seems to be a herb paste mix made from dozens of herbs, known for its healing and energy-boosting properties (appetite, libido, immunity). However, in reality, burn orient doesn’t provide such effects—it's just a "mesir paste-flavored" drink, but it's interesting to see such a unique product.

For energy drinks, major brands generally just copy flavors and launch them worldwide, but Coca-Cola Turkey's launch of this unique original product under a big brand back then was truly impressive.
