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

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

I chose this store because it had a funny crocodile or alligator logo on its store front. The cup design was a bit strange.

Given the immense popularity of this brand, I decided I had to try it again in case my first drink selection did not do it justice. This time I picked a recommendation from a friend, along with having the opportunity to try two other drinks (Jasmine Milk Tea and Rose Pu’er Milk Tea. This should ..read more

This store was in an old town-style tourist district about 30 minutes out of the city. When I saw they used yak milk, I was very curious to try. It was also quite popular. We had picked the non-cream version but they accidentally gave us cream. Store: Rose Yak Milk TeaLocation: Lijiang, ChinaDrink: Princess NaXi ..read more
