HEYTEA Milk Tea Popsicle Review







Fro-yo girl here. Good Fortune sells HEYTEA popsicles individually. Each popsicle comes in a nice-looking box. The popsicle flavors are grape & cheese, cheese & peach, grapefruit & mango, and milk tea.

The popsicles seem to be inspired by HEYTEA’s drinks. The logo even features someone drinking something from a cup. HEYTEA is a milk tea shop founded in Guangdong, China in 2012. The founder claims to have created cheese tea. The text on the packaging was in Chinese except for the words Popsicle and HEYTEA. The translated text on the box said, “HiTea Milk Tea Boba Popsicle” and “bite and eat.” The illustration shows the different flavors and textures in the popsicle. The exterior is Ceylon black tea ice, the interior is Ceylon tea ice cream with brown sugar boba, and the bottom is chi chi ice cream. I don’t know what chi chi ice cream is but I think it’s a cheese foam ice cream.

Milk tea popsicle: It’s an interesting popsicle. The brown exterior was firm and icy. It tasted like milk tea and was pleasant though quite icy. The interior was soft and creamy tea-flavored ice cream with soft, sweet, and chewy brown sugar boba. The boba had great texture. The very bottom was a creamy, sweet, rich, cheesy ice cream that I didn’t like but wasn’t so bad when mixed with the milk tea flavor. I wasn’t that fond of the icy shell either, though I liked the milk tea flavor.

One popsicle is $2.99. It was interesting and worth it, but I’m over boba milk tea popsicles.

Trader Joe’s Black Tea & Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Review





Fro-yo girl here. Last summer, Trader Joe’s introduced their first boba ice cream: Cold Brew Coffee & Boba Coconut Frozen Dessert. Their frozen dessert is vegan and available in pints. On a recent trip to Trader Joe’s (I go every week), I noticed a new boba ice cream there: Black Tea and Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert. A pint was $4.49.

On the side of the pint, TJ’s describes how boba is found in Taiwanese bubble tea. They also say that “in this Black Tea & Boba coconut non-dairy frozen dessert, you’ll find the pearls throughout, intertwined with a sweet brown sugar swirl.”

Black Tea & Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert: I liked the dense, creamy, smooth texture – very ice cream like. The brown sugar swirl overwhelms the other flavors, the way the coffee overwhelmed the other flavors in TJ’s Cold Brew Coffee & Boba Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert. Plus, the ice cream is far too sweet. The tapioca pearls were firm, sweet, and chewy.

One 2/3 cup serving is 240 calories, 5g total fat, 47g total carbs, and 31g of total sugars. The Cold Brew Coffee & Boba Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert had 24g total sugars per serving.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
