This is the Passionfruit Crimson Delight ($8.90 + $1.00 for honey pearls, no ice, 100% sugar), featuring an osmanthus oolong tea base, flavoured with strawberry and passionfruit.
Consumed chilled, this beverage delivered an immediate burst of vibrant sweet-tart and floral notes. The sip began with the layered, honeyed aroma of osmanthus, enhancing the smooth florality of the oolong tea base (likely a Dong Ding). As the sip progressed, the brightness of strawberry and the tangy acidity of passionfruit emerged, creating a balanced, refreshing fruit profile. The inclusion of passionfruit seeds added a subtle crunch, contrasting with the soft, chewy texture of the honey pearls. The overall result was a well-rounded, multi-textured drink with clarity and depth. Disappointingly, it is set to leave Tea Republic’s menu at the end of June 2025.
This Passionfruit Crimson Delight was purchased from Tea Republic in Sydney, Australia in June 2025.
