The Honey Aloe Green Tea had a floral quality that was balanced with the sweetness of honey and the slight bitterness of the green tea. There was just enough sweetness. The purple-coloured Diamond Purple Rice with cubes of milk (which represent diamonds) was light and added a slight nuttiness.
One of the more surprising drinks was the Sea Salt Assam Black Tea. The salt enhanced the intensity of the sweetness, which gave a caramel-like finish -smooth, rich and full-of-depth. Since individual tea bags were used with a press, it gave the Toasted Oolong Tea Latte a nice finish.
The Honey Plum Tea wasn't overly sweet, so the light tang and bitterness came through. It was slightly aromatic and lightly floral. The pearls in both drinks were appealingly chewy with a nice mouth-feel with a touch of sweetness. The Oreo smoothie was creamy with the distinct taste of Oreo cookies. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet nor rich.
The Avocado Goodness Smoothie and Sweet Peaches Smoothie tasted as good they looked. The avocado was made with almond milk, so those who have lactose-intolerances can rejoice. It was creamy like ice cream and not too sweet with a slight almond milk aftertaste. The sweet peach was refreshing and lightly floral. The peach was blended smoothly. Overall, I enjoyed the drinks at T-Go Tea. They did a good job at being a bit more unique than the regular.
