Introduction:Miaoxue Bingcheng’s thick taro paste series has made a comeback this winter, featuring high cost-performance value offerings such as taro paste milk tea and taro paste mango, attracting many customers to try something new. However, many store employees have reported that the newly launched purple sweet potato taro paste has become one of the most difficult materials to handle in recent years due to its unique texture, even sparking heated discussions on social media. This article compiles practical staff experiences and squeezing techniques, along with recommended optimal purchasing times for customers, ensuring you get your drink and save time.
As temperatures drop, steaming hot milk tea has become the go-to choice for many seeking warmth and comfort. This winter, major tea beverage brands have successively launched limited-edition hot drinks to capture festive business opportunities. Among them, the well-known affordable tea brand Miaoxue Bingcheng also announced the return of its popular “Thick Taro Paste Series.” In addition to familiar favorites like “Taro Paste Warm Coconut” and “Thick Taro Paste Milk Tea,” it has also introduced “Taro Paste Mango,” an innovative option that blends mango flavors.
This series highlights thick taro paste as its main selling point, not only offering a smooth texture but also maintaining the brand’s signature affordability, with each cup priced in the single-digit range. For fans of taro-flavored beverages, this is undoubtedly a major highlight of the winter season.
However, many customers who head out early to stores to try the new offerings may find them unavailable. According to netizens, some outlets are unable to provide taro paste drinks promptly because the ingredients haven’t thawed completely. On-site staff explained that the purple sweet potato taro paste used in this series is frozen raw material delivered uniformly by the company. Staff must take it out in advance to thaw and then fill it into dedicated ingredient containers. Therefore, it is recommended that customers avoid peak morning hours and opt for lunchtime or afternoon visits to more smoothly enjoy the full Thick Taro Paste Series experience.
At the same time, internal Miaoxue Bingcheng employees have also taken to social media platforms to complain, stating that this purple sweet potato taro paste is one of the most difficult materials they’ve encountered, even sparking the popular hashtag #HowToSqueezeMiaoxueBingchengTaroPaste. Many novice employees said that when handling this seemingly soft but actually highly sticky frozen taro paste, they often encounter issues such as being unable to squeeze it all out cleanly, leaving a large amount of residue behind, and despite their best efforts, they struggle to fully utilize each packet of the ingredient.
To tackle this challenge, an experienced franchise store owner personally stepped in and recorded a “taro paste squeezing tutorial video,” sharing his practical tips. In the video, he suggests first placing the entire frozen taro paste packet on a flat kitchen counter, then using a spatula to repeatedly scrape the slightly loosened taro paste from the edges of the packaging, and carefully cutting a small opening at the corner. This way, the taro paste can be more smoothly squeezed into the ingredient container, reducing residue.
For any taro paste still remaining inside the bag, he further demonstrates how to continue scraping the edges, repeating the squeezing and scraping steps several times until almost no purple traces are visible inside the packaging. This method not only significantly improves the utilization rate of the material but also saves time on subsequent cleanup, making it a commendable industry insider tip.
Once the video was shared, it quickly resonated with a wide range of employees. Many replied saying: “Finally found the right method, I used to waste so much material,” “Scraped way too clean, I cut it open and still had a lot left,” “Squeezing glutinous rice cakes used to be headache enough, now there’s purple sweet potato taro paste—really tests your skills.” Some employees also called for future improvements in packaging design, such as adopting softer tubes or easier-to-squeeze opening designs, which could greatly reduce the operational burden on staff and especially improve serving efficiency during busy periods.
In summary, the return of Miaoxue Bingcheng’s Thick Taro Paste Series undoubtedly adds a variety of choices to the winter beverage market. For consumers, as long as they avoid the busy morning hours, they can still easily enjoy high-cost-performance taro-flavored deliciousness. For store employees, mastering the correct squeezing techniques not only improves work efficiency but also reduces material waste—an essential piece of practical experience worth referencing.
