This is the Longan Jasmine Milk Tea ($5.90 introductory pricing, usually $6.90 member pricing, less ice, regular sweetness) from A³ Cafe. It contained longan flesh and juice in a jasmine milk tea.

The drink had an opaque off-white hue. Consumed chilled, the first impression was the longan. The flavour was fresh and slightly tropical, with a noticeable smokiness that suggested dried longan but without becoming heavy. Because the longan juice settled at the bottom, the flavour was strongest in the first few sips, though the unsealed cup made it difficult to shake the drink properly to redistribute it.

Through the mid-palate, the jasmine tea emerged with a soft floral character that felt clean and dewy. Notably, the tea avoided the astringency or bitterness that often affected their jasmine milk teas. The sweetness level felt balanced at the chosen setting. The milk tea base itself was comparatively light in body, however, lacking the fuller, creamier mouthfeel found in some dedicated milk tea specialists such as Molly Tea, and came across slightly watery. Small cubes of longan at the bottom added texture and tasted fresh, with a light bite.

Overall, this was a pleasant longan-forward milk tea with clean jasmine character, though the thin milk tea base limited its impact.

This Longan Jasmine Milk Tea was purchased from A³ Cafe in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
