Pink Guava Yakult ($5.20) w Rock Sugar Pearl ($1.10) ($6.30) My sister and I have covered pink guava drink base related drink for hollin lol. I didn't never tried yakult based drink tbh for hollin. The taste for yakult is not that strong that I expected that but I rarely taste pink guava except rock sugar pearl was slightly strong savoury taste.

Rejected my use of burpple after waiting in a long line saying burpple only accept cash payment. Not paynow paylah. Do beware.

You’ll find a wide range of offerings at Hollin, and exclusive to Hollin are their Rock Salt Macchiato series and fresh handmade boba with flavours that rotate daily. Burppler Michelle, who tried the former, likes how the milk foam is creamy "with a hint of salt that intensifies over the course of drinking.” You can also try their best sellers including Matcha Latte ($4.90) with Honey Pearls ($0.70), Earl Grey R.S.M. ($4.40), Pudding Caramel Milk Tea ($5.70) and many more! 1-for-1 deals available.

We got the Shizuoka Matcha Latte & Green Tea Latte, tried the konjac pearls. Seeing past reviews I think people mainly have this for the RSM (Rock Salt Macchiato), so perhaps we just got the wrong drinks. We both felt that it was pretty bland and there wasn’t much spectacular about the toppings! Will like to try more varieties instead next time (-:

Bought this for my mum so I didnt drink much! But at 25% sugar level the drink is actually not very sweet which is great. (Especially how caramel flavoured drinks risk being overwhelmingly sweet)

The tea flavour is quite prominent too! My mum likes it :) She said there were too many pearls but i feel that its alright hahaha (i really like their honey pearls)

Overall idk im not a caramel kind of person so i wont repurchase, but if you are your order wont go wrong!

Bought the pink guava rock salt macchiato with honey pearls ($4.90 + 80c) at 25% sugar level.

Second time trying this drink! I love the fruitiness of the pink guava drink, its super refreshing and I can easily finish the whole cup :”) the rock salt macchiato adds an element of creaminess to it as well - The foam has abit of a savoury cheese taste which in my opinion really compliments the drink! I think its super worth too with burpple - paid $6.20 for 2 large bbts :)

The taste of the tea tend to be very strong and may not be to the liking of most people, especially for fruity drinks where the tea taste was unexpectedly overwhelming to the point that there is barely any fruit taste.
The honey pearl was not bad though.
Tried:
Earl grey tea latte with honey pearls (25% sugar)
Grapefruit green tea

the drink had a strong caramel taste without being overly sweet, which was pretty good! there was a generous amount of cream at the top and the cream was tasty, though i couldn’t really taste the rock salt. pearls were chewy and the cocoa flavour was prominent.

$5.9 | 7/10 🌟

Super delicious and frothy! Kinda wished I didn’t get the pearls bc I enjoyed the drink so much that I drank 80% of it before I even poked a straw in. I loved the pearl texture too:) got it on a Saturday so it was the pearl of the day

Got this with the honey pearls - a bit sweeter than my normal drinks but it actually went quite well together! Quite worth when we used the burpple one for one. Will be back (hopefully) to try the other flavour pearls.

Came here on a Tuesday and got their Matcha flavoured pearls. Drinks were nice (pictured above - $4.70 for Shizuoka Matcha Latte with Matcha pearls) but unfortunately the texture of the pearls were not to my liking - a little too hard. I like the concept of having a different flavour of pearl everyday though, so I hope their pearls can be made a little less hard and more chewy. Would maybe come back again with the Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 deal (just to try their other flavours of pearls) but probably not without.

Matcha Latte ($4.90) with Honey Pearls ($0.70) (0% Sugar Level) was extremely bitter aftertaste 😅 but adding honey pearls complemented well with it 🥰

Earl Grey RSM with Honey Pearls I told my sister that rock sugar was quite salty aftertaste as not needed to add rock sugar pearls 😅 she sticked to Honey Pearls instead 😀

Ps: its one of fastest post that I have wrote at outside 😱 and ok I really like their pearls a lot and always being top of my bbtea list 🤗🤗🤗 too emoji 🙄

First time trying out Hollin's BBT due to Beyond 1 for 1 promo.
Tea taste is rather subtle and the 50% sugar level is still super sweet. Recommend 0% or 25% sugar for Lychee oolong (due to lychee syrup) and 25% sugar for the milk tea.
Don't mind buying this bbt using 1 for 1 promo but not worth the original premium price.

Tea is fragrant and honey milk tea is always a reliable classic choice. Sweetness is just right.

Expected the black tea latte ($3.20) to be creamy with a strong tea flavour, but it was rather weak and tepid. Enjoyed the cocoa pearls ($0.70) - they were chewy and with a subtle bitter sweet chocolate taste!

Honey lime green tea ($3.20) was really refreshing on a hot day! Honey pearls ($0.70) were good as usual but the only thing we could taste was lime juice - all in all, not worth the premium price tag for something I can get at a coffeeshop!
