7 Leaves Cafe
Edit CompanyRecent Tasting Notes
We stayed at several hotels over the course of the trip but on one of the mornings where we were less rushed we decided to check out a bubble tea shop that happened to be nearby the hotel we were at that morning. Most of their menu was pretty basic and overall they weren’t really a very impressive stop. I grabbed this one because it was the most “different” thing on the menu.
The drink came back a pale green that looked a bit like a washed out matcha beverage, though there was no matcha in it. The taste was surprisingly good though also incredibly sweet. Reminded me a little bit of coconut or pandan with that sort of creamy starchy quality. You could feel a little bit of the meal-y texture of the beans so, in that regard, it was nice to see it was made using actual mung bean and not just a flavour/powder.
Overall I would probably give this drink a pretty low rating based on all the many things we were able to try during the trip, but isolated and viewed on its own I thought it was acceptable.
