Mateas鮮奶茶沙龍 新竹光復店

Mateas positions itself as a more understated option within the realm of modern tea drinks, avoiding strong topics or exaggerated sweetness. Instead, it focuses on the cleanliness of the tea base and the balance with fresh milk. This approach may not capture everyone's attention with the first sip, but for those who value drinkability, it tends to leave a better impression.

First, the Black Oolong Fresh Milk Tea features a tea base with a distinct roasted flavor profile. It has a stable aroma, with faint woody and roasted notes. When combined with fresh milk, it is not completely overshadowed by the creaminess; instead, it creates a supportive structure between the two. The tea aroma comes forward first upon tasting, followed by the milk sweetness, culminating in a clean finish without lingering sweetness. Overall, it is a harmonious drink that feels light and enjoyable from start to finish.

The Harvest Fresh Milk Tea is caffeine-free, making it quite friendly for those who cannot consume caffeine or wish to drink in the evening. Its flavor profile has a grainy quality, with a naturally warm aroma that is non-irritating, resulting in a smooth and palatable combination with fresh milk. Although it doesn’t have the same depth of layers as the Black Oolong, it excels in being comforting and drinkable, making it suitable as an everyday beverage.

In terms of ingredients, the tapioca pearls have a softer texture, lacking the chewy "Q" quality and leaning more towards a softer, well-cooked consistency. Those who enjoy softer pearls will find them enjoyable, while those who prefer a chewier experience may feel they're lacking in presence.

Overall, Mateas does not follow the stimulating or overly sweet route but instead centers on “long-lasting enjoyment and comfort.” The Black Oolong Fresh Milk Tea is ideal for those who want a clear tea flavor, while the Harvest Fresh Milk Tea is a gentle, burden-free option. If you value flavor balance and everyday drinkability, Mateas is worth a try.
