New Milkshop Drinks Have Arrived! Your Go-To Guide for Caramel Crunch Black Tea & Cloudy Latte, Plus a First Look at April's "Teaccino" Launch
The spring bubble tea scene is absolutely buzzing, with new releases coming in thick and fast. But the one that's got our editorial team and fellow bubble tea fans genuinely excited this week? It has to be Milkshop's brand-new "Caramel Tea Salon" series. Honestly, this isn't just another drink launch; it's like they've captured the essence of a dessert shop and poured it into a cup. Enough chat – let's dive straight into the must-try new favourites and the exciting sneak peek of what's coming in April.
The Caramel Trio: A Symphony of Crunch, Cream & Tea
The star of this March launch, the "Caramel Tea Salon" series, is undoubtedly the new topping called "Caramel Crunch". This isn't your average caramel syrup. It comes in the form of delightful little crunchy bits packed with a rich, toasty caramel flavour. Eating them on their own is like snacking on a biscuit, but when they soak up a bit of your drink, they add a uniquely satisfying semi-crunchy texture. They're the true heart and soul of this entire range.
- Caramel Crunch Black Tea (Large €1.80 / ¥45): If you're a purist who loves plain tea, start here. Built on a base of Taisho black tea, it has a familiar, nostalgic black tea flavour with a subtle hint of roasted cassia seed in the finish. It's not overly sweet, but the rich sweetness of the caramel sauce cleverly enhances the tea's aroma. Finally, scoop up some of the Caramel Crunch floating on top with your straw – it's a refreshing sip with a delightful surprise. A lightly sweet choice you could happily drink every day.
- Salted Caramel Earl Grey Latte (Medium €2.20 / ¥55 | Large €2.60 / ¥65): This is the sophisticated choice. The elegant bergamot aroma of Earl Grey is naturally refined, and adding fresh milk makes it incredibly smooth. The real magic is the salted caramel – it strikes the perfect sweet-salty balance, elevating the entire flavour profile and making it wonderfully complex. It's not cloyingly sweet; it's the kind of elegant latte you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.
- Caramel Cloudy Latte (Large €3.00 / ¥75): This one wins the beauty contest for this launch, and it's our editor's personal favourite. Milkshop uses their classic "Na Be" black tea, which has a natural caramel note, as the base. Paired with their Green Light fresh milk, it's already rich and creamy. But then, they crown it with a thick layer of caramel foam and generously sprinkle on the Caramel Crunch. As you drink, the foam blends into the tea, creating a texture as light as a cloud, while the caramel flavour remains wonderfully bold. It's pure indulgence, but the happiness it brings is absolutely next level!
More Than Just a Drink: Add a Canelé for the Perfect Treat
This time, Milkshop isn't stopping at drinks; they're setting you up with the perfect afternoon tea experience. They've teamed up with popular dessert brand "Flower Brick Desserts" for a special collaboration. From March 11th to March 31st, when you buy any drink from the Caramel Tea Salon series, you can add a classic vanilla canelé for just €2.40 (add-on price / ¥59). Imagine enjoying a canelé with its slightly crisp shell and soft, caramel-infused centre alongside your Caramel Cloudy Latte – that's a recipe for an afternoon of pure bliss.

Next Up in April: A First Look at the "Amber" and "Baby" Teaccinos
If March's caramel offerings aren't enough to satisfy your cravings, Milkshop has already teased a second wave arriving on April 1st: the "Teaccino" series. The concept is a clever twist, taking the idea of a café cappuccino and adapting it for tea. They replace the milk with a dense, velvety milk foam to create a refined, tea-based texture.
Two new drinks will be introduced: "Amber Teaccino" combines roasted oolong tea with caramel-infused foam for a mature, sophisticated vibe. Then there's "Baby Teaccino", a caffeine-free option focused on rich milky flavour and sweet caramel notes. Inspired by the 'Babyccino' served to kids in Australian cafés, it lets anyone – young or old, whether they avoid caffeine or just fancy a treat – enjoy that "coffeehouse" style and salon atmosphere. From April 1st to 7th, both Teaccino varieties will be available at a special introductory price of €2.80 – definitely one to look forward to.
From March's Caramel Crunch to April's Teaccino, this latest move from Milkshop really shows their ambition to transform "drinking tea" into a more playful, stylish lifestyle ritual. Bubble tea fans, make sure to hit up the caramel series this week, and get ready to keep the fun going in April!
