CHICHA San Chen ([email protected])

Not the best brown sugar, should have gotten their pure t series!

This is my 3rd cup of bubble tea this week 🥺😱 So bad for the environment I know, I’ll cut down definitely. We waited about half an hour or longer for this drink! There were quite a few options on the menu like Ding Dong Tea, Green Tea, Osmanthus Oolong Tea, etc. We felt like bubble tea connoisseurs drinking this qualiTEA bubble tea.
The pearls are, as they say in Taiwan, very QQ!! (Chewy, and the right amount of firmness!) Would recommend if you are a bubble tea addict.
The top mousse is quite foamy and yummy. The sweet and warm black pearls were generous in quantity too. Just expect the wait time to be a while! But it’s totally worth it for the price, Chicha San Chen is much better than Wan Tea and ShareTea which I had earlier this week.
PS. Chicha San Chen is from Taiwan and was established in 1998! The paper carrier is really cool AND ALSO VERY CLEVER - you don’t have to hold a sopping wet bubble tea cup covered in condensation from the ice 👍🏻

A very refreshing drink, with green lemon fragrance that brings a little bitter aftertaste.

Osmanthus Oolong Tea ($3.20) + Green Lemon ($1) + Grass Jelly ($0.50).

I like the fragrance of the oolong tea. Ordered 50% sugar level and the sweetness is just right for me.

(S$4.70)

Not a fan of boba or milk tea, so this 玉露青柠 is my #1 favorite now as it is refreshing, light and make me feel guilt-free while drinking! The sourish taste help me to digest and cleanse ny palette especially after a heavy meal.

Tip: Go for 100% sugar. I am not a sugar fan and always order 25% sugar but 50% sugar is wayyyyy too sour for this drink!

With more and more bubble tea brands opening in Singapore these days, it’s hard to stand out in the oversaturated bbt market. That said, CHICHA San Chen is definitely here to stay with their quality tea offerings.

Featured here are the Fresh Milk with Brown Sugar Bubble (left) and Cassia Black Tea with Mousse (right). The Fresh Milk with Brown Sugar Bubble was delightful; fragrant and well balanced upon first sip and not too sweet overall. My friend tried the latter and mentioned that he enjoyed the drink too! Thus, both drinks are pretty good individually and are worth a try. Kudos to the very instagrammable packaging too!
