Most Popular Items

Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea
"My exact order was: a medium dirty brown sugar milk tea, tapioca pearls, whole milk, regular sugar, no ice. It was very creamy, probably because the no ice option makes sure the drink isn't diluted. The texture was just heavenly smooth. The pearls were cooked to absolute perfection."
Lychee Oolong Tea
"Really liked my drink the first time, lychee oolong tea with mango popping pearls. Get the pearls. They're really good."
Wintermelon Milk Tea
"I loved my Wintermelon milk tea! Please open a branch in Temple!"
