Pomelo green tea + aloe vera (L: $2.80)!

A cheap, refreshing pick-me-up from 7Tea Cafe: a large pomelo green tea with aloe vera for $2.80. 🍵

What I ordered (the sticker says it all):

This is the drink to order when you want something light rather than a heavy milk tea. The green tea base keeps it clean and slightly grassy, the pomelo adds a sweet-tart citrus lift (gentler and less bitter than grapefruit), and the honey rounds it all off so you don’t miss the sugar. Going 0% sugar with honey is a nice middle ground, sweet enough to be a treat without the sticky finish.

The fun part is the aloe vera sunk at the bottom: soft, slightly chewy jelly cubes you chase up the straw between sips, so the drink has a bit of texture to it. Less ice means more actual tea in the cup, which for $2.80 is good value.

Exactly the kind of light, citrusy cup for a warm afternoon.

Overall: 4.5 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Light, honeyed pomelo green tea with chewy aloe vera, great value at $2.80. Would re-order.
