ABOUT US

Drinking tea is a Taiwanese pastime that verges on obsession. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner there’s a variety of tea to perfectly complement any food and suit any palate. 

But when it comes to an afternoon drink or something to sip on while wandering through the local night market, nothing beats a pearl milk tea, Taiwan’s (unofficial) official drink.

​

While it might sound like a rather odd shade of paint suitable for dental surgery waiting rooms, it’s actually an incredibly tasty drink that is more like a snack than a beverage. And why is that? Well, that would have something to do with the tapioca balls floating around in the bottom of the cup.

Served with an oversized straw, this drink can be any variety of tea, at any temperature. The only prerequisite is that vendors must pack the bottom half of the cup with the jelly-like pearls, or what many call bubbles.

Here at Chaye you don't need to fly thousands of kilometers to indulge with an authentic Bubble Tea from Taiwan.
