1) Tiger Sugar

Fresh milk has a thicker texture and the cream mousse is added to it, giving it a fuller flavor and taste than other bubble teas.

The brown sugar pearls gave the plain fresh milk a boost of sweetness and emphasized the drink’s flavor.

Key differentiators:

  • The brown sugar syrup gave the plain fresh milk a boost of sweetness and emphasized the drink’s flavor.

Client testimonials:

My wife had a bubble tea craving and since there is no queue why not? Ordered milk tea and I liked the taste of the milk. Service is good too. Price is similar to the other bubble tea shop.

2) Heytea

We ordered the Strawberry Cheezo with Bobo Pops, which was a little too adorable in its dreamy pink hue.

The cheese layer has a salty aftertaste and a sweet taste. The bottom includes genuine strawberry pieces with a sour, tangy flavor.

The saltiness balances the sourness and vice versa, making this combination work nicely.

Overall, we thought it to be a completely harmonic beverage.

Key differentiators:

  • The saltiness balances the sourness and vice versa, making this combination work nicely.

Client testimonials:

I have to admit that I was too impressed by the pretty ID and so damn cute packaging that I don’t recall how the drink was (or drinks? I don’t even remember how many we ordered). The fruit teas are so colourful and pretty – the next opportunity that presents, I have to try it!

3) Ji Long Tang

We were all in agreement when we took the first sip: the drink tasted distinctively different from all of the other bubble teas.

Contrary to its appearance, the drink was not too thick and tasted delightfully fresh and sweet. The boba is soft and has a satisfactory bite.

Finally, after combining the sugar at the bottom and cheese foam at the top, the drink’s texture became somewhat thicker.

All the ingredients incorporate well together to create a well-balanced drink that is sweet, creamy, and rich.

Cozy place to enjoy bubble tea.

4) Gong Cha

We attempted their Lychee Tea with Basil Seeds.

The light-tasting tea, on the other hand, plays well with the sweet lychee flavor, making for a very light and refreshing afternoon drink.

Other toppings, such as pearls and jelly, have more components than Gong Cha’s Basil Seeds, which is why they’re so popular.

5) Koi

Our crew went down to Yeppo Honey Earl Grey Milk Tea for a taste test. The first sip was quite nice.

Each sip gives you a delectable concoction of milk tea, coconut jelly, and pearls.

This beverage is sweetened with honey, which is thought to be more natural and healthier than sugar.

Additionally, to make the drink even healthier, there is also an option for ‘less honey’, which did not make the drink any less delicious.

We discovered, on the other hand, that it enhanced the flavor of the tea.

Key differentiators:

  • Additionally, to make the drink even healthier, there is also an option for ‘less honey’, which did not make the drink any less delicious.

Client testimonials:

Staff are nice and friendly! During peak hours there is usually a Long queue.

Valencia Tea

6) U & Tea

Despite being a bubble tea establishment, U & Tea’s most popular beverages are delectable smoothies.

So we went down to order their most popular drink, the U-Mango!

The ice blended this delectable smoothie was wonderfully icy and cold with a rich mango flavor.

It was a bit thick, but it mixed in effortlessly and provided a smooth texture that made sipping and complementing the distinctive mango taste simple.

Key differentiators:

  • The ice blended this delectable smoothie was wonderfully icy and cold with a rich mango flavor.

Client testimonials:

This dessert-like drink alone will bring me back to U & Tea. My strawberry bubble tea came served over ice in a plastic cup covered by a foil lid through which you push a wide straw. It had a strawberry milkshake taste, and the pile of blueberry-looking spheres at the bottom of the cup, sucked up through the straw, tasted like tapioca.

7) Bawangchaji

We were anticipating a brewed Chinese tea when we visited BaWangChaJi, but the white peach oolong tea we ordered was much better.

This delightful drink was very light with just the right amount of sweetness after ordering it with only 25% sugar.

The milk was smoothly integrated into the tea’s fruity undertones of peach and oolong.

Key differentiators:

  • This delightful drink was very light with just the right amount of sweetness after ordering it with only 25% sugar.

Client testimonials:

Staff very friendly! Drink is good too.

8) R&B

The scent was reminiscent of a good blend between bitter and sweet, with the brown sugar pearls more than compensating for the tea’s unpleasant aftertaste.

The pearls are soft, chewy, and rather sweet, indicating that they have been cooked for an appropriate length of time.

Overall, the beverage is quite strong, and it’s also filling.

Key differentiators:

  • The pearls are soft, chewy, and rather sweet, indicating that they have been cooked for an appropriate length of time.

Client testimonials:

Loved it. Only tried the signature brown sugar boba milk so can’t comment on other drinks. Although there were queue, I managed to get the drinks pretty fast.

9) Wanpo Tea

From TaiChung, Taiping is known for its popular bubble tea.

For an unusual treat, we opted for the Custard Milk Tea with 25% sugar since they were out of boba.

The presentation of this drink is quite attractive, with a thick custard covering the sides and it’s not a rapid pour and finish.

To create the most effective tisanes, be sure to combine the custard with the tea!

Key differentiators:

  • The presentation of this drink is quite attractive, with a thick custard covering the sides and it’s not a rapid pour and finish.

Client testimonials:

The staffs were very friendly. They have wide range of bubble iced tea. Tried their recommended Custard Milk Tea. I love it. It’s so good. Must try!

10) Xing Fu Tang

We tried the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea and were surprised by the rich taste of the blend of their fresh milk tea and brown sugar boba.

Xing Fu Tang’s milk tea and boba combination stand out from the crowd, giving it a competitive edge over other brown sugar milk teas.

Located within basement 1 of Takashimaya’s street food maze. I don’t subscribe to the milk tea fad but this place is an exception. The brown sugar is amazing, as is the pearls too. Yumz.
