This is the Black Milk Tea with Peanut Jelly ($7.30, +$1.50 for large; no ice, 70% sweetness) from Wootea.
This beverage featured a light tan, opaque milk tea base with darker, peanut-hued jelly pieces settled at the bottom, flecked with visible brown specks. The peanut jelly was more akin to a soft-set pudding than a traditional jelly—melting easily on the palate with gentle pressure. Its flavour was distinctly peanut-forward, reminiscent of smooth peanut butter with a savoury edge and a subtle sweetness. A slight grittiness lent authenticity, evoking freshly ground peanuts. The peanut flavour lingered pleasantly, complementing rather than overpowering the milk tea. The black tea base itself was robust, with a clean, tannic note balanced by the chosen sweetness level.
The availability of peanut jelly is uncommon offering, making this a novel and worthwhile option—particularly for those drawn to nutty, dessert-like beverages. A distinctive drink with strong textural and flavour appeal.
This Black Milk Tea with Peanut Jelly was purchased from Wootea in Sydney, Australia in July 2025.
