Durian Milk Tea

1. Why durian milk tea?

Durian is known as the king of fruits with one of the most distinctive flavors in the world. It is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia and currently widely cultivated in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Durian has a thick, hard husk covered with sharp, spiky thorns. In contrast to the outside husk, the inside flesh is pale yellow to golden, with a soft, custardy, and rich texture. 

The flavor and smell are the most distinctive features of durian, setting it apart from other fruits. Combining the durian’s essence with the familiar black tea base and rich, creamy milk powder creates a unique drink. Especially for fans of milk tea or durian, this is a beverage that you can’t miss.

Durian has a noticeable, intense, and pungent odor, often described as a blend of onions, turpentine, and sweet custard. Because the aroma is so powerful, it is also the first aroma people smell when enjoying durian milk tea. The combination of durian, tea, creamer, and sugar tastes like a sweet, creamy custard dessert, followed by the rich, buttery flavor of durian and a mild bitterness. The bold, warm, and distinctive flavor of durian milk tea is considered pleasant by fans. However, it might be too strong and unusual for first-timers. Once you get used to this flavor, you will find it very appealing and addictive.
