Drink Categories
Muse & Co serves six drink categories plus a few miscellaneous drinks. Know each category, the prices, and what to recommend.
Prices are from the live menu (October 2026). The menu in the staff portal is the source of truth for prices; if this page disagrees, the menu is right. How each drink is made is on How Every Drink Is Built.

- Health-conscious? Jasmine Green with less sugar.
All our drinks are crafted with 7-stage reverse osmosis filtered water for the cleanest, purest taste.
Fruit Tea ($6.50 / $7.50)
All fruit teas are $6.50 regular, $7.50 large. These are lighter, refreshing, and dairy-free. Great for customers who want something fruity without the creaminess of milk tea. All are served iced.
| Drink | Base | Flavor Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Juicy Peach Oolong | Oolong tea | Sweet peach, smooth finish |
| Golden Passion Fruit | Green tea | Tart and tropical |
| Guava Green Tea | Green tea | Sweet, tropical pink guava |
| Royal Rose | Green tea | Floral, elegant rose flavor |

| Strawberry | Green tea | Classic sweet strawberry |
| Mango | Green tea | Bold mango flavor |
| Pineapple Green Tea | Green tea | Tropical and bright |
| California Orange | Green tea | Citrusy and refreshing |
Lychee Long Island
Customers sometimes ask if this contains alcohol. It does not. The name is a playful nod to a Long Island Iced Tea. Let them know it is a non-alcoholic lychee fruit tea.
Specials ($7.00 - $9.00)
| Drink | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Lavender Lemonade Blue Pearl | $8.00 (large) | Lemonade with a lavender layer and Blue Lemon popping boba |

Recipes: Specials & Blended Drinks.
Coffee ($2.00 - $8.00)
Espresso drinks, all made on the fully automatic coffee machine.
Every coffee drink comes from the automatic machine
Our espresso machine is fully automatic: it grinds, brews and froths the milk itself. Nobody pulls shots by hand or steams milk with a wand. Blue Mountain Coffee and Mocha Milk Tea are the exception: they are milk teas, made at the tea station from a powder over brewed Earl Grey black tea, with no espresso. See Milk Teas.
| Drink | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Americano | $2.00 | Espresso + hot water |
| Espresso Macchiato | $2.50 / $3.50 double | Espresso with a dollop of foam |
| Latte | $4.00 | Espresso + milk, from the machine's latte setting |
| Flat White | $4.00 | Espresso + milk with thinner foam, from the machine |
| Cappuccino | $4.00 | Espresso + milk with more foam, from the machine |
| Macchiato Latte | $5.00 | Layered espresso marked on milk, smooth and balanced |
| Military Latte | $6.50 | Latte over matcha and mocha powder, extra espresso shot on top (camo look) |
| Sakura Rose Cloud Latte | $7.00 / $8.00 | Sakura Rose milk tea, 1 shot espresso, Classic cream cap; 1 tapioca boba free, other toppings at milk-tea prices |
| Taro Cloud Latte | $7.00 / $8.00 | Taro milk tea, 1 shot espresso, Classic cream cap; 1 tapioca boba free, other toppings at milk-tea prices |
Military Latte
A latte made over matcha and mocha powder with an extra shot of espresso on top, for a camo-inspired look. Popular with the military community from Fort Liberty. Always mention it to customers who want serious caffeine.
Special Brewed Tea ($5.50 - $7.50)
These are whole-leaf premium teas brewed at the table in glass teapots. They are a completely different experience from our iced drinks. Each serving is good for 3-5 steeps.
| Tea | Price | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blooming Rose | $6.50 | Flower tea | Opens into a flower in the pot |
| Eternal Blossom Pearl | $7.50 | Flower tea | Dramatic bloom, great for photos |
| Tie Guan Yin | $5.50 | Oolong | Classic Chinese oolong, roasted notes |
| Da Hong Pao | $5.50 | Oolong | "Big Red Robe" -- bold, mineral, smoky |
| West Lake Dragon Well | $5.50 | Green | Famous Chinese green tea, nutty and sweet |
| Jasmine Dragon Pearl | $5.50 | Green | Hand-rolled pearls that unfurl in hot water |
Presentation Matters
Special brewed teas are served in glass teapots specifically so the customer can see the leaves unfurl. Always use a clean glass teapot. Never serve these in a paper cup. If we are out of clean glass teapots, let the customer know there will be a short wait while one is washed.
See How to Brew Floral Teas for detailed brewing instructions.

Upselling Toppings
When a customer orders a drink, suggest a topping that pairs well. For example: "Would you like to add a sea salt cream cap to your Brown Sugar milk tea? It is really good together." Customers appreciate the recommendation and it increases the ticket.
Add-Ons and Upgrades
Taro Swirl
Any drink can be upgraded with a taro swirl -- a thick taro concentrate spread on the inside walls of the cup that creates beautiful purple streaks visible through the drink. It adds hints of taro flavor with every sip. See How to Make the Taro Swirl for the technique.
This is different from ordering a Taro Milk Tea ($7.50), which is a fully blended taro drink. The swirl is a visual and flavor upgrade that works with any drink on the menu.
