Tropical fruit tea & Pink guava rock salt macchiato + cocoa pearl ($0.70) — Burpple Beyond: $4.90!
Sunday Burpple Beyond — tropical fruit tea + pink guava rock salt macchiato + cocoa pearl $4.90. Specialty tea via BB.
Bubble tea run on a Burpple Beyond deal: tropical fruit tea + pink guava rock salt macchiato (with cocoa pearls, +$0.70), $4.90 for both. 🧋😋
Two very different drinks:
- Tropical fruit tea: a bright, refreshing tea loaded with tropical fruit flavours (mango, passionfruit, peach and the like) over a light tea base. The thirst-quencher of the two, fruity and easy.
- Pink guava rock salt macchiato: the more interesting one. A pink guava fruit tea topped with a salted cream cap (the “rock salt macchiato” style), so you drink the sweet fruit tea through a layer of lightly salted cream. That sweet-and-salty contrast is exactly why these went viral, and adding cocoa pearls gives it chewy, chocolatey little bites.
The macchiato trick is to sip without stirring so you get the salty cream and sweet tea together in each mouthful, then mix it later for a more uniform creamy-fruity drink. The cocoa pearls were a fun upgrade over plain boba.
With Burpple Beyond making it 1-for-1, two drinks for $4.90 was great value (these usually run $7 to $8 each), an easy, refreshing weekend treat.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 A bright tropical fruit tea and a moreish sweet-salty guava macchiato with cocoa pearls, fun and great value on the deal. Would re-do.
