Taro and Wintermelon

Lately, when I've been getting Taro and Wintermelon bubble tea shakes.

The flavor is indescribable. It's rather nutty. It's very sweet. It's a little smokey, like Thai tea. It almost tastes like Nutella.

The color of a Taro and Wintermelon shake is purple.

It's probably the color/taste combination that confuses me most. Why is a nutty, sweet drink purple? This is wrong, but it tastes so right. I recommend the combination highly.

  1. Update: I've learned that taro is like a sweet potato, only purple and cultivated in SE Asia. It is rather similar in taste to sweet potatoes. Also, when in gardens, the plant is referred to as Elephant Ears, a plant which most of us are probably familiar.
