During a recent visit to Matcha Tea Lab in Burnaby, I had the chance to try their popular summer slushies, which are a delightful way to cool down on a hot day. Priced at just $6 from June 1 to June 4 (11 am to 7 pm), these matcha and hojicha slushies come with the option to add $1 for a variety of unique toppings. What really stood out to me was the creative mix of flavors available as add-ons. I tried the matcha slushie with banana bread topping and was genuinely surprised by how the banana bread flavor seamlessly blended into the drink, making it taste like sipping on a banana bread dessert in liquid form. The hojicha strawberry option was equally enjoyable, providing a perfect balance of roasted tea notes and the sweetness of fresh strawberry. Other toppings include mango, blueberry, pineapple, azuki beans, grass jelly, and black sesame, each adding a distinct texture and flavor twist. The mango sticky rice inspired slushie is a nod to a beloved Asian dessert, combining sweetness and creaminess with the matcha base. The texture of these slushies is smooth and refreshing, with a pleasant melt in your mouth sensation. This makes them an ideal summer beverage choice, especially if you're a matcha or hojicha fan looking to explore new flavors. If you're nearby 1828 - 4500 Kingsway, Burnaby, I highly recommend trying this limited-time offer. It’s not only a good deal but also a delicious way to experience traditional Japanese tea flavors with a creative twist. Plus, the cozy, inviting atmosphere of the shop makes the visit even more enjoyable. Don't miss out on these offers if you’re craving a refreshing and flavorful summer drink!
