A beverage combining the subtly sweet flavor of a tropical fruit with the creamy texture of a milk-based tea, this drink offers a visually appealing and refreshing alternative to more traditional tea offerings. Typically, the fruit’s pulp is blended or infused into either a black, green, or oolong tea base, subsequently mixed with milk (dairy or non-dairy) and sweetener to taste. The resulting beverage often boasts a vibrant pink or magenta hue derived from the fruit itself.
The increasing popularity of this drink stems from several factors. It provides a source of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber naturally present in the fruit. The beverage also caters to evolving consumer preferences for unique flavor profiles and visually appealing food and drink items. Its introduction can be traced to the broader trend of fusion beverages, where diverse culinary traditions are combined to create novel experiences. This fusion often attracts individuals seeking both health-conscious options and exciting new taste sensations.
