I'm a casual bubble tea drinker, I really enjoy it but I don't manage to get a regular fix. I'm limited by my conscience telling me to save money and thought at the back of my mind about the potential health impacts of having it more frequently. Mostly the former.

As mentioned in my previous post, I was very lucky and appreciative to be offered the chance to try ChaPanda’s new drink. I don’t normally order fruit teas, so this was a nice opportunity to tread rarely ventured grounds. I had the opportunity to chat to the owner, who was very friendly. I was invited ..read more

I really enjoyed ChaPanda in China, it was one of my favourites that trip. This meant I had high hopes for the Australian opening. I liked their generous soft opening offer, providing 30% off their drinks, in addition to a free fridge magnet. A few weeks after this post on Instagram, ChaPanda was very generous ..read more

A pretty new store in the CBD. I chose this drink because it was labelled as a ‘must try’. Drink: White Peach Oolong Milk Tea Store: Ting Tea Rating: B. Taro balls didn’t have much chewiness to them. The consistency of the drink also felt too thin. Normally this would mean a placing somewhere in ..read more

I took this rare opportunity to try the bubble tea that looked the most attractive. Drink: Taiwanese Milk Tea with Pearls Store: Cha Cha ..read more

I was in the city about a month ago, but this store had just opened and was very busy so I put it onto the ‘to-try’ list. I had seen it in China but that particular store was empty so I wasn’t inspired to try it. Even about a month later, the crowd was still ..read more

Impressively, this store does bubble tea for $3. This seems to be Melbourne’s cheapest bubble tea. They have cute gacha machines you can use too, which I guess helps to make up some of their profit margin. I figure the bubble tea is the low profit margin leader, to draw customers to the gachas. It’s ..read more

Canberra has a decent selection of bubble tea, including a few independent stores. This one looked pretty authentic and also had good Google reviews. Store: The Whale TeaLocation: Canberra, AustraliaDrink: Milk Tea Rating: C-. Did not live up to its Google review. It was watery and had little tea presence. Instagram – thatbubbleteablog ..read more

As I near the end of my trip, I wanted to sneak in this tester to compare if there was any difference between the Chinese and Australian one. It is a notable brand as I think it is the brand with the most stores in China, and it enjoys a decent level of popularity. Concluding ..read more
