Taro milk tea has a sweet, nutty flavor with a subtle but creamy vanilla finish. It is often described as having a creamy vanilla flavor, a cookie-like taste, or a flavor similar to coconut with a vanilla undertone. Some people also compare its taste to mild chocolate with a hint of fruitiness or to buttered popcorn. The flavor can vary slightly depending on the bubble tea shop making it, as different flavors can be added to affect the taste, such as the amount of sweetener, type of milk used, the tea used, and the boba syrup used.
