This is the Tarami Dossari Muscat & Nata de Coco, made with juice from Muscat of Alexandria grapes, but also containing apple juice. The nata de coco was sourced from the Philippines.
There was a generous number of nata de coco cubes (about 1.5 cm each), but only two peeled grapes. The jelly appeared as a translucent pale green, with the nata de coco a clean white and the grapes a green-yellow hue. The aroma was a gentle, mellow grape.
On tasting, the jelly was smooth and melted quickly on the palate. The floral tropical character of Shine Muscat emerged at the start, though only briefly, and was far less vivid than expected from a product marketed as a Shine Muscat jelly. By mid-bite, the apple juice became dominant, amplifying the sweetness but flattening the more tropical elements, leaving only a subdued impression. The nata de coco cubes, however, absorbed some of the Muscat notes, and chewing them brought back a trace of the floral, tropical quality, as did the two grapes, which were smooth with a subtle bite.
Overall, this jelly reflected a trajectory seen in other recent Tarami products, showing shrinkflation both in the limited fruit content and the sourcing shift away from celebrated domestic produce. The result was pleasant enough but lacked the vibrancy and generosity once associated with the brand.
