Long before Naruto, there was Nintama Rantarō—and he’s still training to this day! The bespectacled young star of the NHK’s long-running kids’ series has appeared in everything from video games to a live-action Takashi Miike film. Now, he and his fellow trainees are getting their own line of custom tea blends.

The blends were created for Ginza’s Gin-Iro-Neko Tea Salon, which serves up both its own house specials and anime- and game-inspired brews. Previous lines of teas have been dedicated to My Hero Academia, D.Gray-man and Danganronpa. The latest set goes up for pre-order today, and consists of seven tea blends inspired by Rantarō and his ninja friends.

Rantarō himself gets a fruit blend with melon, papaya, and pineapple. Older student Isaku gets a green tea with orange and yuzu flavors. The narcissistic Tairano gets an appropriately fancy Rose Ceylon. And more characters are represented with green teas, hojicha, and peppery Assam.

Each tea is available in a specially designed tin, featuring a silhouette of its respective character and design elements reminiscent of them—like Rantarō’s glasses:

The teas can be pre-ordered on the Gin-Iro-Neko Tea Salon website for 1,944 yen per tin (contains 7 tea bags), or 2,500 yen per pouch (contains 15 tea bags). If you’d rather stop in and enjoy afternoon tea with some food, the blends go on the menu for a limited time at the Tea Salon starting October 27.
