Tryin' Out The Black Sesame Milk Tea @ Top Tea
January 30, 2014 - When someone leaves a message or perhaps a comment, it's something that you should read and this happened to me when the manager of Top Tea left a comment in my first experience at their store here in Torres St. I felt excited when he asked if I could visit their branch to try out their newest flavors. Without hesitation, I agreed and I immediately went to their store.
My plan was to visit the store in a day where I'm most comfortable and when the manager is in the store. But it seems like my excitement got over me as I went there before the day that I planned to visit Top Tea. When I arrived at the store, of course, the store manager was not there but the ladies in the counter called him instead and handed the phone to me. The store manager told me that I can still try their newest milk tea flavors for free! With that, I proceeded by ordering their newest milk tea flavors.
Among the two new flavors that they have, I chose the Black Sesame Milk Tea since it's a bit intriguing on how it tastes like and it looks more delicious to look at (of course, it looks deceiving!). And since this taste test is for free, I took the chance to order the large size which costs up to 95 Pesos since when I order milk tea, I always go for the regular size. I might try their Yakult milk tea soon if time permits me to do so.
The Serving:
This is their Black Sesame Milk Tea which consists of black sesame, black pearls (tapioca), and milk tea. It's served in a large cup as I've ordered.
The Taste:
When I took a sip on this milk tea, I noticed how rich the drink was! It definitely satisfies your palate and I enjoyed it! The presence of black sesame was strong as of course it's the main ingredient for this milk tea. Definitely loved the black pearls as I love chewing them but something lacked on this milk tea and that was the taste of the milk tea itself. Sure it was really delicious but it's called milk tea for some reason.
It has to have at least a little taste of milk tea but I failed to notice it. They could have just toned down the flavors a bit for me to taste the milk tea itself. I don't want this to be like a milk tea without the taste of milk tea. Would I order this milk tea? Of course! It was delicious but as I've said, toning down other flavors and more of milk tea would help a lot. But hey! I love it! :)

ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect thirst-quencher where I am at! ;-)
Thank you! I just want to be detailed on my reviews for the readers. I want them to experience what I've just experienced even though they're just reading online.. :)
Deletei love black pearls (sago), your description of the milk tea made me crave for it now lol
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried their tea yet Jonas.... would love to drop by one of these days. Howdy?
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time I had something like this? It has been ages! You have a very good review, very convincing. You deserve that perk! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didn't expect that they want me to try their milk teas again. Well, I grabbed the chance! :D
DeleteWhat a wonderful privilege to know that someone is actually paying more attention to our experiences, glad you have the chance to work with their new products again, I might not tried it but the thorough description is something satisfying to hear.
ReplyDeleteI like tea, so am sure this would satisfy my palate.
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds very tasty and healthy as well.
ReplyDeleteI think I had that milk tea when I went to the Philippines. It was actuallly not bad.
ReplyDeleteBlack sesame flavored milk tea? That's some unique combination. It will be interesting to find out if it agrees with my palate.
ReplyDeleteoh wow! i love black sesame, and i often make it here, but have not made it in a milk tea, now, you are giving me some idea to try it, wish that is near, since i do not think there is black sesame milk tea sold here in our milk tea heaven :)
ReplyDeleteI love milk tea. I normally order just the plain one because I want to taste the milk tea than the add-ons. :) Sesame has a strong taste and is quite overpowering to be added in other meals/drinks. I agree with you, maybe they should have toned down the taste of the other ingredients to complement the milk tea.
ReplyDeletethat milk tea looks delish and healthy too :-) I never try those drinks though :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Yakult Green Tea looks interesting. I love Yakult and green tea. Having them together would be heaven..
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique name for a milk tea, truly, milk teas have a world of their own and there are a lot of choices to select from, you will never be bored of this drink!
