New at Yogurtland: Orange Blossom White Peach Light Ice Cream


Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland planned to launch Orange Blossom White Peach light ice cream in April, but then the coronavirus outbreak occurred. While some Yogurtland locations in my area were still open, none of them had Orange Blossom White Peach light ice cream in April. Now it’s late May and a few locations have started offering Orange Blossom White Peach light ice cream. Samples are still not allowed in Los Angeles. I found the new flavor at Yogurtland Pico Rivera (8756 Washington Blvd, Pico Rivera, CA 90660). An associate dispensed the froyo and added toppings.

Orange Blossom White Peach light ice cream is described by Yogurtland as: “we took the sweetness of a juicy white peach and paired it with bright, citrusy accents of orange blossom for a light ice cream that’s delicate, fruity, and ready for spring.”

Orange Blossom White Peach: It’s definitely more like peach than orange blossom. The orange blossom was difficult to detect. The flavor was sweet and peachy without any tang. The texture was smooth and creamy. It didn’t appeal to me because of the lack of tang and the lack of orange blossom. But I paired it with plain tart for tang, so that helped. Recommended toppings: Granola, strawberries, popping boba.

Late spring/summer has been bringing new floral flavors at Yogurtland these past few years, with past flavors including 2019’s Blueberry Lavender light ice cream and 2018’s Strawberry Rose froyo. I find floral flavors interesting and creative, so I’m a fan of the trend in theory. Orange Blossom White Peach is the first Yogurtland flavor with orange blossom. I miss tangy, fruity froyo.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
