This is the Pistachio Coconut Jasmine ($8.90, 70% sugar, less ice, as recommended) from Molly Tea, featuring a jasmine green tea base blended with coconut water and topped with pistachio cheese foam.

The drink presented as a layered beverage, with a translucent yellow base and an opaque pastel green topping. On tasting, the pistachio cheese foam was creamy with a distinct, nutty pistachio flavour. It carried a subtle savouriness characteristic of cheese foam but remained mild, functioning more as a textured nutty cream than a strong dairy presence.

The jasmine green tea and coconut water combination brought a delicate, dewy floral character, with the coconut contributing a clean, lightly nutty profile reminiscent of fresh young coconut juice—absent the heat-treated or overly sweetened notes common to shelf-stable coconut drinks. While the initial sweetness was pronounced, it softened in combination with the pistachio foam, resulting in a balanced sweet-savoury flavour reminiscent of a milk tea. Neither the pistachio nor the jasmine dominated; rather, they interplayed cohesively, with the coconut water acting as a subtle bridge.

Refreshing and nuanced, this beverage would likely appeal even to those typically averse to cheese foam, with its restrained savoury note enhancing rather than distracting from the overall flavour.
