This is the original bubble tea that started it all. It features bold, slightly bitter black tea balanced with creamy milk and sweetened just right, topped with chewy tapioca pearls (boba). It is rich, smooth, and comforting with a hint of caramel from the pearls and this is best for the first-timers and purists who love traditional flavors. Try with Assam or Ceylon tea for a robust kick.
Brown Sugar Milk Tea (Tiger Sugar Boba)
One of the most viral and photogenic bubble teas, this drink is loaded with thick, sticky brown sugar syrup swirled along the cup, mixed with fresh milk and boba soaked in brown sugar. It is deep, caramelized sweetness with creamy milk and ultra-soft pearls and best for the sweet tooths and Instagram lovers. Drink it quickly before the brown sugar melts fully to enjoy the layered flavors.
Taro Milk Tea
This pretty purple drink uses taro root or powder, which gives it a slightly nutty, vanilla-like taste with creamy richness. It is sweet, creamy, with hints of vanilla and a starchy, earthy note from taro. It is best for those who enjoy unique, smooth, and comforting flavors. Some shops use real taro paste—look for that if you want a more authentic, chunky texture.

A refreshing, non-dairy option featuring vibrant fruit teas topped with popping boba that burst in your mouth. This is light, tangy, sweet, and juicy, with a fun popping texture. It is best for people looking for something refreshing and caffeine-free. Go for a combo of fruits like passionfruit + pineapple for a tropical blast.
Cheese Foam Tea (Cheese Tea Boba)
This is a trendy tea features sweet tea topped with a thick, slightly salty cheese foam (like whipped cream cheese mixed with milk and salt). It is a sweet and savory, creamy on top with refreshing tea underneath. It is best for adventurous drinkers who enjoy salty-sweet combos. Sip without a straw to enjoy the layers of foam and tea together.
Honeydew Milk Tea
A mellow and refreshing fruity milk tea made with real honeydew melon or honeydew flavoring, often paired with chewy boba or aloe jelly. It is light, creamy, with a refreshing melon sweetness.
