V^3 Utopia Tour - Original Milk Tea

We here at V^3 have planned another mission in the quest for all things good in Perth by presenting to you, the V^3 Utopia Tour!

The execution is simple. Over the coming months, we will sample ALL flavours of bubble tea available at utopia and rate each for the common good of beverage awareness. All flavours will be judged by their texture, presentation and most importantly taste. Any ill effects that result after consumption will be noted. A rating system of x/10 will be implemented.

So let us begin the tour!
With an extensive flavour menu, the choices are hard to come by. Thus, we will start off with the one and only original milk tea.

Original Milk Tea



A traditional blend of the commonly consumed English black tea (or of similar variety) and milk. The simplicity of this beverage makes it a safe choice to select. I am usually more partial to black tea without milk and sugar as most purist enjoy their tea straight. However, this drink is served chilled and therefore the addition of milk and sugar does not result in a sickly warm and sweet drink. It actually enhances the flavours and gives it a smoother texture. What it lacks though, is a kick of uniqueness and quality. In other respects, it offers a fresh fragrance of tea that can be enjoyed by all those who love infused beverages. The only way to improve this drink is to use higher quality teas such a Benoist or Twinings Earl Grey (both recommended by the British royal family). Nevertheless, it makes a satisfying bubble tea.



This drink is recommended with sago.
V^3 gives Original Milk Tea 6/10

What flavour shall we try next? Leave your comments or a flavour request to contribute in the quest for bubble tea goodness.

Tea eggs are good nutrition, sort of, although the constant heat applied to them makes me wonder how much protein and fat-soluble nutrients are really bioavailable.

In any case, I get my customized milkshake from the shop opposite SCT. Their yam with ice-cream and sago pearls is the benchmark for calorie-dense goodness.

I have always wondered what those tea eggs were all about. The colour does not appeal to me, but I was told that food is to be eaten , not to be hung on a wall. so I will give all these suggestions a try in due time. I do fancy some good snow right now though, this weather is killing me.
