Boba Guys’ Toasty Fall Surprise–Hojicha Banana Milk Tea

Today, I’m taking you on a little flavour journey, introducing you to the latest sensation from the esteemed Boba Guys. I’m eager to share my experience with a unique tea blend that’s making waves this fall – the Hojicha Banana Milk Bubble Tea.

I did a taste test of this new flavor from Boba Guys.

How it Tastes

The Hojicha Banana Milk Bubble Tea is not your typical bubble tea; it’s a unique blend perfect for the crisp fall season.

For those not acquainted, hojicha refers to a roasted green tea. Unlike its steamed counterpart, hojicha boasts a beautiful nutty, toasty profile due to the roasting process. This gives it a more pronounced flavor .It stands as the star ingredient in Boba Guys’ Hojicha Banana Milk Bubble Tea.

Accompanying the hojicha, Boba Guys ingeniously weaves in the sweetness of banana milk. Banana milk, you might not know, is a traditional South Korean beverage that brings back nostalgia for many.

It’s creamy, sweet and the perfect foil to the robust hojicha.

A Bubble-Tea Blend Like No Other

Combining these unique flavors, the Hojicha Banana Milk Bubble Tea transforms into a multi-dimensional beverage. The toasty, nutty notes from the hojicha blend caps off with the sweet tang of banana milk, leading to a delightful flavour marriage.

My only complaint is that the tea has a slightly grainy texture, probably from the pureed banana. I’d prefer something totally smooth. Still, this is a terrific and complex flavor that’s perfect for chillier Fall days.

You can try Boba Guys’ Banana Milk Hojicha at any of their cafes in the Bay Area, for a limited time.
