    Earl Grey Milk Tea

    Went to South Kensington outlet and loved the earl grey milk tea there. Yes, it is not as thick and rich as the other boba place, but I appreciate the authentic taste of tea and milk. Also like the cute interior design of the store.More

    Terrible Milk Tea, Extremely Watered Down

    Tried this highly-rated milk tea store in London yesterday and was extremely disappointed. It wasn’t creamy or rich like the milk tea I was used to. It wasn’t flavorful or fragrant. The pearls they used are also bland and lacked brown sugar. I would rather...More

    Hi Christine Our milk tea is very different from milk tea from other bubble tea shops. Other shops use tea that is batch/bulk brewed, whereas we only freshly brew your cup of tea after you order. And we also don't use powdered creamer, instead we...More

    Good tea here!

    We dropped in and tried some of their bubble tea with the "pop" bubbles. I tried the Passion Fruit with Pop Peach, which was very good and refreshing on the warm day we had in London.

    Boba pearls were just right

    Very good tea with boba (tapioca pearls). Went there in the summer for tea with pearls, no milk. The tea was flavorful; ordered with lowest sugar or no extra sugar. The pearls were just right that day, meaning not firm and not mushy. Hope they...More

    Decent milk tea
