This is the Smash Guava Lemon Tea ($10.50; less ice, 70% sugar) from Wucha, built on a jasmine green tea base with pink guava pulp and smashed lemon.

The beverage presented with an opaque red-pink hue, with lemon pulp fragments, visible rind pieces, and intermittent lemon seeds floating in the liquid. Aroma opened with a lifted combination of tropical guava sweetness and sharp lemon zest, carried over a light floral jasmine backdrop.

Initial contact delivered a bright citrus-forward impact, where zesty lemon and restrained tartness led the opening profile against a moderated sweetness. Through the mid-palate, the jasmine green tea base surfaced with soft floral clarity, gradually transitioning into a fuller pink guava presence. The guava pulp contributed flavour more than texture, dissolving into the liquid. However, the inclusion of unstrained lemon seeds, interrupted an otherwise cohesive fruit-tea structure. Despite this, the overall profile remained vibrant, with guava sweetness and citrus acidity remaining in balance across the palate.

Overall, a citrus–tropical fruit tea with layered flavour development, partially disrupted texture integration, resulting in a bright but structurally uneven drinking experience.

This Smash Guava Lemon Tea was purchased from Wucha in Auckland, New Zealand in May 2026.
