Osmanthus Rice Wine Milk Tea by Tastea

The combination of osmanthus, rice wine and milk tea seemed intriguing to me, so I visited this Tastea outlet in Scarlett supermarket at Westgate just to try. Based on what the staff said, they used real rice wine (酒酿 or Jiu Niang), which itself has a small percentage of alcohol (1-2%), so the drink has a bit of alcohol, but it is no doubt a miniscule amount that shouldn't affect anyone except those who need to avoid it for allergy or religious reasons. This drink came with a lot of default toppings. First, there was this milk foam cap sprinkled with osmanthus flower bits. Next, as you can see in the first picture, there are some things floating around in the drink for us to chew on. These were white pearl jelly (like a white clear jelly in a ball shape so it was like a smooth jelly pearl), fermented rice bits (I believe it is the leftover rice from fermenting the wine) and I believe it was osmanthus jelly which rounded up the last of the chewable toppings.
