When we first opened in 2018, our focus was purely on real tea. After many requests, we introduced Taro in 2019, and this Taro & Banana blend soon followed as part of our summer menu. The gentle, vanilla-like sweetness of taro melts into creamy banana, creating something that sits between a smoothie and a milkshake. It’s smooth, naturally sweet and wonderfully comforting.

tips:
The sweetness will depend on how ripe your banana is. Add sugar or honey if needed.
• For a creamier version, dissolve the Taro powder in 50ml hot water, then mix with 150ml milk before blending with ½ banana and ice.
• For a thicker shake, use a whole banana and reduce the liquid by about 100ml.
• Our Taro powder contains dairy, so this drink is not vegan even if using plant-based milk.
• Add tapioca pearls for extra texture.
