Shop G12A, Wynyard Station, Sydney NSW 2000
Thanks to Katheryn Lui from EasyWay for organising a taste test for to me try the new Fruit Pulp Party range of flavours at the highly popular Wynyard Station shop. The friendly Emily made the drinks for me which were consumed with the help of two of my work colleagues. First up was the Strawberry Pulp Milk Tea ($4.50) with pearls ($0.60) which thankfully wasn’t too sweet due to be ordered with half sugar. A refreshing one for the strawberry lovers out there. Next was the Papaya Puree Ice Green Tea ($4.30) which was more green tea in taste and unfortunately only had a very subtle suggestion of papaya flavour. Perhaps a better balance with more papaya puree would have helped for my liking — this one was the least favourite in today’s selection. I thought I would have liked it the best because I'm a big fan of papaya.
The Mulberry Pulp Ice Black Tea ($4.30) with Aloe Vera ($0.60) was probably my favourite of the day. I really enjoyed the slightly firm and fibrous crunch of the aloe vera pieces which is different to the soft slightly chewy pearls. It was both refreshing and well balanced in flavours I thought. I was a little scared about the Prune Pulp Blended Ice ($4.60) but it thankfully ended up tasting better than I thought, to everyones surprise. Perhaps the half serving of sugar and ice helped dilute the overall prune taste to make it more palatable in the end. It’s topped with a whole prune for that spot of extra fibre.
