Refreshing teas

Bubble tea used to be my favourite drink when I was living in Hong Kong.  The tea would come with fresh fruits (loved the mango ones!!), tapioca bubbles, jelly or even with birds' nest.  Bubble teas are usually either fruit teas or milk teas that you can either drink hot or cold. They are served with tapioca balls (most commonly known as pearls).

I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the quirky Bubbleology cafe in London (pictures below) a few weeks ago whilst walking the boutiquey streets of Soho (I later found out that Bubbleology has other cafes in Notting Hill and Harvey Nichols). I opted for the coconut pearl tea with additional strawberry pearls. It tasted divine!!

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that Migros had opened a bubble tea take out store called, NYtea, near the Zurich Opernhaus by Stadelhofen station.  It made me happy. They are planning to open 2 other stores in Kreis 5 and in Oerlikon.  Watch this space!!!
