This is the Supreme Mixed Coconut & Longan Fruit Tea ($12.90; fixed ice, 50% sugar) from Top Tea. It featured hand-peeled Queensland longan, handmade water chestnut balls, fresh watermelon and osmanthus jelly.
The beverage presented a layered, opaque appearance: red watermelon at the base, followed by off-white water chestnut and longan, clear yellow osmanthus jelly, topped with a white coconut smoothie, and garnished with inedible longan leaf.
On tasting, the drink component was led by the coconut smoothie, delivering a smooth, moderately sweet profile with a creamy body. The longan was not immediately apparent in the liquid phase, instead remaining confined to the fruit inclusions. The mid-palate developed through the textural components rather than flavour progression. Watermelon contributed a crisp, juicy crunch with mild sweetness, while the water chestnut balls added a firmer, more neutral crunch with minimal flavour. Osmanthus jelly introduced a soft, gelatinous contrast without a strong floral presence. Longan flesh appeared intermittently, offering a light, floral sweetness, though in limited quantity and with reduced impact relative to the other components. The finish remained coconut-forward, with residual sweetness and minimal persistence of longan character. Aftertaste retained a mild creamy sweetness with faint fruit notes.
Overall, a coconut-dominant fruit tea with layered textures, where longan presence is limited and lacks impact relative to other components.
