This is the Muskmelon Oolong Milk Tea ($8.60; cold, no ice, 70% sweetness) from SoTea, containing a muskmelon-scented oolong base with fresh milk.

The beverage presented with an opaque off-white appearance. On tasting, the initial contact delivered a restrained muskmelon profile, with a bright but controlled fruit sweetness. The flavour remained clear without becoming artificial or overly saturated. Through the mid-palate, the oolong base became more apparent, contributing gentle caramelised and lightly toasted notes consistent with a light- to medium-oxidised tea. This added warmth and structure, creating a natural creaminess without introducing noticeable astringency. Towards the finish, the tea base carried through with mild toast and a soft tapering of sweetness, maintaining balance without sharpness. The aftertaste retained light muskmelon notes, gradually fading into a subtle tea presence. Mouthfeel was smooth with moderate body, supported by the milk. The texture was neither thin nor heavy, with the dairy integrating cleanly without contributing a dominant milky flavour.

Overall, a muskmelon-forward milk tea with restrained sweetness, smooth body, and a lightly toasted oolong finish.

This Muskmelon Oolong Milk Tea was purchased from SoTea in Sydney, Australia in March 2026.
