This is the Pistachio Melon Coconut ($8.90; less ice, no sugar) from Molly Tea, featuring melon oolong tea with coconut water and pistachio cheese.
The beverage presented with a layered appearance, with a transparent golden base topped by a thick pastel-green layer.
The thick pistachio cheese meant the beverage was not suited to sipping, as confirmed by the thin straw provided. After stirring well, initial contact delivered fruity, floral oolong with gentle green melon notes that tasted more scented than syrupy or artificial. Through the mid-palate, the melon oolong was buoyed by the natural sweetness and nuttiness of the coconut water, maintaining a smooth mouthfeel. Towards the finish, the pistachio cheese emerged gradually, shifting the coconut’s nuttiness towards a softer, savoury nuttiness and introducing a velvety finish without any cheesy funk. No astringency or bitterness was present, leaving a clean aftertaste.
Overall, a fruit-forward tea with a floral-to-nutty flavour trajectory and smooth-to-velvety textural progression, resulting in a clean, cohesive drink with a restrained savoury finish.
This Pistachio Melon Coconut was purchased from Molly Tea in Sydney, Australia in September 2026.
