This is the Strawberry Jasmine Fresh Milk Tea Daifuku ($9.50, +$1.00 for large; less ice, 70% sugar) from Auntea Jenny, featuring a jasmine green tea base with strawberry purée, milk jelly, and mochi.
The beverage presented with a layered structure: a deep red strawberry base, followed by irregular white inclusions through the lower third, and a pink liquid forming the upper portion. Initial contact delivered a cohesive profile of jasmine florals and strawberry milk, with sweetness held at a controlled level. Through the mid-palate, the strawberry shifted towards a fresher, lightly tangy expression consistent with macerated fruit rather than compote, providing lift against the milk base. The milk jelly introduced a soft, yielding texture that collapsed easily under pressure, moving readily through the straw and integrating smoothly into the liquid. In contrast, the mochi presented a denser, more resistant chew, rising through the straw later and concentrating in the second half of the drink. This staggered textural release altered the flavour progression, with a subtle toasted rice note from the mochi gradually infusing into the strawberry milk profile, shifting it towards a slightly warmer, more rounded finish.
Relative to Tiger Sugar, this version reads as more drinkable and restrained, avoiding the heavier, more indulgent style that leans towards excess.
Overall, a strawberry jasmine milk tea with layered texture progression and controlled sweetness, resulting in a more drinkable profile than richer, heavier interpretations.
