My Order
- Roselle Tea
- 0% Sugar
- Herbal Jelly
I was looking for a non caffeine low calorie option. I didn’t know this drink was caffeine free until I asked the staff at GongCha Singpost Centre. I had no idea what roselle was, other than that it might be some sort of flower.
This drink punches you in the face repeatedly. It is very tart and tastes like sour plum or cranberries. It is verryyy strong. I would recommend normal human beings get at least quarter sugar with this drink to balance out the sourness. It’s the sort of tart that makes your tongue water.
I didn’t like the taste initially, but it really grew on me. The first few sips were too intense for me, but I started loving it after about 5 sips. Maybe I got Stockholmed into liking it.
The grass jelly was excellent. Smooth, easy to slurp, with a slight sweetness and light herbal taste.
I strongly recommend grass jelly over pearls at GongCha. This drink is not for those faint of heart- you might not be able to even finish it if you don’t enjoy sour flavor.
