This is the Signature Orange Tea ($8.80; less ice, less sugar) from SoTea, featuring a white champaca green tea base.

The beverage presented with a translucent orange hue, with visible orange flesh and a slice floating at the surface. Aroma opened with light floral notes alongside a soft orange profile, without pronounced zest.

On tasting, the initial contact delivered a combination of floral and orange notes, with a delicate, restrained sweetness. The fruit profile resembled a mellow, sweet citrus rather than a bright or acidic orange, with no sharpness or zest. Through the mid-palate, the green tea base became more apparent, developing a rounded, lightly toasted character consistent with a Chinese-style green tea. The sweetness remained controlled, while small pieces of orange flesh introduced intermittent bursts of fresh fruit character. Towards the finish, the tea base carried through cleanly, with no detectable astringency. The aftertaste retained a soft citrus sweetness with a gentle floral lift. Mouthfeel remained smooth and even throughout.

Overall, a floral citrus tea with restrained sweetness, rounded green tea depth, and a smooth, non-astringent finish.

This Signature Orange Tea was purchased from SoTea in Sydney, Australia in April 2026.
