Velvet Osmanthus Fresh Milk Tea – TPTea

On December 20th, my sister and I decided to go to TPTea for boba! I kept thinking about what I’ve had from there before and my impressions, and upon confirming with my blog entries, I realized I had only been to TPTea once! It must be because my parents went a bunch and sent me pictures that I got the impression that I’ve had more experience with TPTea…

I was browsing the menu, and I was intrigued by this “New!” section: the Velvet Milk Tea, basically a “smoother, silkier” version of their milk tea. I wonder what they do to the drink to make it smoother? Are they implying milk isn’t usually smooth? Guarantee no lumps? The Osmanthus tea also seemed to be a new section and I love ma an osmanthus, so double new!

I don’t have a normal Osmanthus to compare to, but the drink itself was really good! For whatever reason, for this specific drink I could only select 50% sugar (the normal milk tea and other Velvets had 30% options…A very good osmanthus milk tea, and rich and flavorful! TPTea’s boba is on the smaller side (like Chun Sui Tang’s), but good and chewy. Would definitely get again and recommend.
