What are Tapioca Pearls?Tapioca pearls or bobas are the quintessential bubble tea topping. Tapioca is a starch from the Cassava Root, which gets rolled into round balls of varying size. These are boiled and sweetened before they are served. We cooked every 4 hours, and sweetened with dark brown sugar for more unique and authentic taste.

What is Black Herbal Grass Jelly topping?This is a traditional Asian jelly pudding that we make in-house, and that can be added as a topping in your drink. It’s believed by many to have many health benefits and a cooling effect on the body.

What is Aiyu jelly?Aiyu jelly is made from a plant called the awkeotsang creeping fig and has a light herbal flavour in contrast to the slightly bitter taste of grass jelly that makes it go well in tea-based drinks or our fruit tea series. It is sweet and has a very subtle fruity aroma. Basically, it’s semi-solid, wobbly sweet tea. We also make in-house daily.

How many toppings can I have?We allow maximum of 3 toppings per drink. If you are a fan of toppings, we recommend getting the Large size cup if you order more than 2 toppings as they gives us more space to give your drink too!
