I tried the family mart limited ice cream "Tapioca Tea Latte Ice Cream". Under the fluffy milk-flavored ice cream, there is a rich tea-flavored sorbet and crushed tapioca.
The price is 193 yen (excluding tax) and the calories are 197 kcal. When you open the lid with a cup, the white milk ice cream covers the surface completely, so first put a spoon shallowly and taste only here.
Soft milk flavored ice cream
It has a fluffy mouthfeel, but what remains is a thick and rich texture and aroma of milk. The taste is a little reminiscent of the "milk foam" in the toppings of tapioca milk tea.
Below is a brown tea-flavored sorbet. Even though it is a sorbet, it has a rich milk tea flavor, and it goes well with soft milk ice cream. It is said that "Uba", which goes well with milk, is used as the type of black tea.
There is black tapioca at the bottom of the sorbet. A type that contains not only tapioca starch but also konjac flour and agar. Roll it a little on your tongue and it will quickly turn from a frozen state to a punipuni elastic jelly that you can comfortably enjoy with ice cream or sorbet.
