If you’ve never had ludou tang, here’s the reference
In southern China, mung beans get simmered with rock sugar and served chilled in summer. The result is a clean, mildly nutty, faintly sweet soup — comfort food the way chicken soup is in Europe, but for hot weather. Ludou Ice is built around that culinary memory.
What you get in the pull is a quiet, slightly cereal-like sweetness with a soft ice finish. There’s no fruit anywhere in the profile. If your only frame of reference is fruit vapes, give this a few draws before deciding.

Things people ask
Will this taste of beans?
No. Ludou flavours read more like a cereal-and-cream impression than anything you’d identify as “bean”. If you’ve had Vietnamese chè đậu xanh or Cantonese green bean soup, it’s that direction.
How does it compare to Taro Ice?
Taro Ice is sweeter and creamier, closer to a milky purple dessert. Ludou Ice is lighter and drier.
Why mung bean？
Mung bean ice is a fixture of Hong Kong street stalls and Taiwanese night markets — usually served as ludou tang (mung bean soup) chilled, sometimes with sago pearls. The bean itself doesn’t taste like anything most Western palates can immediately place: faintly nutty, a little vegetal, with a clean starchy sweetness closer to chestnut than to red bean. The vape gets the cooling part right (it’s labelled Ice for a reason) and the sweet part right, but doesn’t try to fake the soup texture — you get the flavour idea cleanly, served cold. It’s a category most non-Asian palates will be tasting for the first time.
