I love love love looking at different menu items at Starbucks all over the world and I just have to try the items not available in North America. When I was in Hong Kong, I had to try the Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly.
Looking at the big menus behind the counter doesn’t reveal the whole menu, so I like grabbing the smaller menus on the counter to see everything that they offer. My eyes were drawn to the Frappuccino Blended Beverages section for the Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly.
Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly
The earl grey jelly is on the bottom and then filled with the chocolate black tea frappè, then the whipped cream and powder on top. In Hong Kong, they have white paper straws instead of the regular green plastic ones.
The Earl Grey jelly doesn’t taste like it too much. It was very very subtle and it mostly just added texture to the drink. Kinda like grass jelly. The Chocolate Black Tea frappe was very nice and not too sweet. I quite liked it a lot. This drink reminded me of a bubble tea.
If you’re ever in Asia and you see this on the Starbucks menu, definitely give it a try.
