I recently visited Machi Machi on La Trobe Street and decided to try their Lemon Yogurt Mousse Iced Tea. I have to say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I took my first sip, I was hit with a refreshing blend of flavors that felt perfectly balanced. The iced tea itself was just the right level of sweetness, with the lemon providing a zesty, citrusy kick that was both invigorating and palate-cleansing. It’s one of those drinks that feels like it was tailor-made for a hot day, offering a cool and crisp taste that quenches your thirst almost immediately. What surprised me the most was how fresh and natural the lemon flavor tasted; it wasn’t artificial at all, which is something I really appreciate in a beverage. I ordered the standard size ($8.50) with normal sugar.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the yogurt mousse layer on top. This was an absolute game-changer! The mousse was incredibly light and fluffy, almost like a whipped cream but with a distinct, tangy yogurt taste that added a creamy dimension to the drink. It was slightly sweet but had a tartness that perfectly complemented the underlying lemon tea. The combination of the tangy mousse and the sweet-tart lemon tea was a match made in heaven. I found myself savoring each sip, trying to get just the right balance of mousse and tea in every mouthful. The way the mousse slowly mixed into the tea as you drank it was a delightful visual treat, creating this beautiful swirling pattern that made the drink look as good as it tasted. It’s the kind of unique twist that makes Machi Machi’s drinks stand out from the typical bubble tea shops.

The texture was another highlight for me. The contrast between the smooth, creamy mousse and the light, refreshing tea was spot on. As the mousse started to melt into the tea, it gave the drink a velvety mouthfeel that I found incredibly satisfying. It almost felt like you were drinking a dessert, making it a perfect option if you’re craving something sweet but not overly indulgent. The drink was well-crafted, with a perfect balance between the tea’s natural bitterness, the lemon’s tartness, and the yogurt’s creamy texture. I also appreciated the quality of the ingredients used—the tea had a rich, full-bodied flavor, and the lemon didn’t taste artificial or overly sour. You could tell a lot of thought and care went into crafting this drink, making it a standout option on their menu.

🏡💁‍♀️ The ambiance of Machi Machi itself was another pleasant surprise. The shop has a bright, welcoming vibe with a modern aesthetic that’s both clean and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you could easily take it to go and continue to your work. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.

🥳💯

Overall, I highly recommend trying the Lemon Yogurt Mousse Iced Tea at Machi Machi if you’re looking for something different and refreshing. It’s a unique twist on the typical iced tea, combining the tartness of lemon with the creamy tang of yogurt mousse, resulting in a well-balanced, delicious drink. The experience was memorable, and it’s one of those drinks that I’ll definitely be coming back for, especially on a warm day. It’s a must-try for anyone who enjoys creative and thoughtfully crafted beverages. Machi Machi has definitely earned a new regular customer in me, and I can’t wait to explore more of their menu offerings...
