This is the Coconut & Longan Fruit Tea ($13.90; fixed ice, 50% sugar) from TopTea, containing hand-peeled Queensland longan, osmanthus jelly, coconut water, and topped with milk cheese foam and osmanthus blossoms.
The beverage presented a layered gradient, transitioning from a clear yellow base through suspended off-white longan flesh to an opaque white foam cap.
Consumed chilled, the profile was led immediately by a pronounced longan presence that carried consistently through the palate. The fruit delivered a vibrant sweetness with its characteristic light smokiness, supported by the soft, honeyed floral notes of the osmanthus jelly. The jelly contributed a gentle, gelatinous texture that integrated cleanly with the liquid, while the longan flesh added intermittent bursts of juiciness. The coconut water functioned as a neutral base, providing light body without interfering with the fruit profile. The cheese foam introduced a smooth, creamy layer with a mild savoury edge. This added weight and moderated the overall sweetness without introducing any overt saltiness or fermented notes. The finish retained longan sweetness with a light floral lift, tapering without heaviness. Aftertaste carried a lingering longan note with faint osmanthus florality.
Overall, a longan-forward fruit tea with integrated floral elements and a creamy foam that moderates sweetness while preserving fruit clarity.
This Coconut & Longan Fruit Tea was purchased from TopTea in Sydney, Australia in April 2026.
