My Order:
- Earl Grey Latte
- Less Ice
- 0% Sugar
- Grass Jelly
I haven’t had Milksha in a while. Their bubble teas tend to be overly milky and almost taste like milk flavored with tea. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I personally prefer the majority of flavor comes from the tea in a milk tea. This is the same problem I have with Chi Cha’s Ding Dong Oolong Milk Tea as well.
The early grey milk tea tasted oaky and fruity. It had a moderate amount of tannins and was also slightly acidic. It was very, very milky and was quite creamy. I would prefer the drink have slightly less milk and more tea, but again, I knew what I was getting into when I ordered MilkSha.
The grass jelly was quite smooth and quite a mild herbal taste. It wasn’t bitter at all. The pieces were about an inch long each. I think it paired well with the drink! Sometimes the grass jelly has a thin layer of filmy resistance. I’m not against that texture, but this grass jelly did not have it.
Milksha is great if you are looking for caffeine-free options, since they offer many milk-only base drinks. I would also recommend them if you are looking for a very milky milk tea.
