This is the Orchid Blossom Milk Tea with Lychee ($8.50, +$0.90 for large, +$1.00 for honey pearls, no ice, 100% sugar) from Tea Republic. It featured an orchid blossom green tea base flavoured with lychee syrup.

The drink was an opaque beige hue with golden pearls resting at the base. Sipped chilled, it revealed immediate notes of delicate orchid blossoms, offering a fresh, floral, slightly grassy aroma reminiscent of blooming orchids. While the lychee flavour was present, it subtly enhanced the floral notes without adding its usual fruity tropical undertones. Real milk provided a smooth and creamy mouthfeel without overpowering dairy flavours. Overall, the beverage presented a unique combination of floral and grassy elements, akin to floral-infused milk. Still, the orchid blossom green tea base would have been better appreciated without the presence of the dairy, as in the Orchid Blossom Fresh Fruit Tea with Guava, and the lychee flavour would have been more apparent in the Spring Tieguanyin tea base.

This Orchid Blossom Milk Tea with Lychee was purchased from Tea Republic in May 2024.
