Reviews
Located near the Sanmin MRT Station in Nanjing, 【Shui Xiang Cha Nong】 is a brand that has been working in the hand-shaken beverage market for many years, focusing on original teas, fresh milk, and a variety of specially crafted drinks.
《Taro Fresh Milk》
This drink is undoubtedly the most surprising item on the menu. The taro flavor is rich and natural, with a smooth texture that allows you to taste the authentic ingredients rather than powder mixes. It blends well with fresh milk, not overly sweet, but rather has a delicate richness. The taro puree settles at the bottom of the cup, and once stirred, every sip offers you fine particles, providing a dual enjoyment of visual appeal and taste. Highly recommended for those who enjoy textured beverages but wish to avoid excessive sweetness!
《Passion Fruit Double Q Green》
This is an excellent choice for those who love fruity flavors and a sweet-and-sour taste. The passion fruit's aroma and acidity are well balanced, with sweetness complementing the tanginess—refreshing and thirst-quenching, perfect for a sultry afternoon. The "Double Q" refers to the chewy boba pearls and coconut jelly (or similar jelly-like ingredients), generously filled, adding a fun chewiness to the entire drink.
《Oolong Milk Cap》
This drink's tea base performs quite well—the oolong tea is aromatic, smooth on the palate, and has a noticeable sweetness. However, the milk cap part was a bit surprising. When ordering, I specifically asked the staff if it was a "salty milk cap," and they confirmed it was; however, the actual milk cap tasted sweet, lacking the expected salty depth, thus deviating from the overall flavor profile. It’s not that it tastes bad; it just did not meet expectations.
In summary, the Shui Xiang Cha Nong branch in Nanjing Sanmin has a stable overall performance. Both original tea and fresh milk beverages meet a certain standard, with fresh ingredients and a rich selection. Just be sure to double-check if you have specific flavor preferences (like salty milk cap) to avoid minor disappointments. Overall, it's a reliable choice for daily takeout beverages—not seeking to amaze but definitely trustworthy.
