This is the Premium Jasmine Citrus ($8.50; fixed ice, 50% sugar) from Molly Tea, featuring jasmine green tea with lime juice, and a slice each of orange, lemon and lime.
The beverage presented with a translucent yellow hue, with slices of citrus floating at the surface alongside a few stray seeds settled at the bottom.
Initial contact delivered a prominent jasmine profile from the tea base, accompanied by a mellow sweetness that allowed the floral character to remain expressive without becoming overwhelming. Through the mid-palate, the citrus elements developed gradually, introducing gentle lime zest, aromatic citrus oils and a restrained acidity that added brightness and structure to the beverage. The citrus components worked primarily to temper the intensity of the jasmine, creating a more balanced and refreshing profile.
While the lemon and orange slices contributed subtle sweetness and a rounded tang, they played a relatively minor role in the overall flavour progression. Instead, the lime remained the dominant citrus element, providing a sharper, more fragrant profile with less overt sourness than expected. Towards the finish, the lime and jasmine notes converged, carrying through with a clean, bright character that reinforced the drink’s refreshing nature.
Overall, a fruit tea with a layered flavour trajectory and cohesive texture integration, resulting in a bright, floral structure lifted by restrained citrus acidity.
This Premium Jasmine Citrus was purchased from Molly Tea in Sydney, Australia in June 2026.
