Thirsty Hippo

Super fragrant oolong tea with fresh milk. Always love my bbt with a strong tea kick. This def takes the cake.

This place is a place that sells almost everything from fruit juice to sandwiches to health bars. You might think they don’t have focus but their range of tea is quite wide, and the glutinous tea is quite unique in a good way!

Just right opposite R&B tea is Yunique tea. Two bubble tea shops fighting against each other. This Taiwanese brand has a huge selection of tea options and non tea options and I couldn’t resist the red bean milk. Amount of red bean was generous!

Relatively new bubble tea shop in Toa Payoh Hersing centre. The Sakura tea is definitely pretty and refreshing with the added lemon.

Good selection of strongly brewed teas. The Sakura tea has a mild floral smell with a green tea base. 😋

For the jewel preview, only the milk series is available so tea lovers be prepared to be disappointed. The ordering queue is not long and will take you abt 10 mins to place an order, but the waiting time for the drink is quite crazy. The milk is light and smooth, whole pearls are chewy. Among the 3 flavours, milk is still the best. I quite liked the drink, but at $5.30 and an hour wait, I will most likely just pass on it....

For a wide range of teas. Feeling a bit on a calorie and sugar high over the past few days. Decided to go with their healthy brew tea range. Chose the interesting sounding osmanthus oolong at 0% w a treat of lychee coconut jelly. Osmanthus taste was a bit tooooo light but it does adds a slightly floral note to the oolong. So imagine the pokka oolong tea but not such a dark brew and a a slight floral note. Haha. The lychee coconut jelly adds a tinge of sweetness to my tea which complemented my sugarless tea 😋😋

This must be the most complicated drink that you will ever get. You get two cups and you get instructions that you drink from the middle and top up with ice and water when you drink halfway. A super refreshing drink for the hot weather! Technically you pay $1.50 for 2 cups of drink.
