Go blue this festive season! Playfully created and only by Taiwanese chain Playmade, there's not 1 but 3 colourful concoctions of blue algae or spirulina, with matching pearls. The enchanting flavours made with edible blue extract are the Blue Algae Honey Lemon Ice Blend, Blue Algae.

For a limited time only, the enchanting flavours made with edible blue extract are the Blue Algae Honey Lemon Ice Blend, Blue Algae Honey Grapefruit and Blue Algae Honey Brown Rice Milk Tea, which has a distinctly roasted taste.

Don't like blue? There are pink ones too, in pink cactus pearls. What's your favourite?

This is the Blue Algae Honey Brown Rice Milk tea.

Say what? "Blue algae?"

These colors are not artificial. It comes with a type of edible blue-green algae called the spirulina. It is believed it contains high nutrients, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Overall, this drink tastes sweet. It reminds me of the day where I met my crush.

And it also has this interesting roasted aftertaste that comes from the brown rice.

The blue algae doesn't really have a strong taste to it but you're getting all the good nutrients so I don't mind.

And the pearls! They're super-duper chewy. I heard the pearls are made fresh in stores every single day.

Also there are two other drinks in the Blue Algae series.
