Tea fever.
Yes it's here and it's viral. If you haven't tried milk tea, you don't know what you are missing.
There are a lot of tea shops opening lately, each of them racing towards tea supremacy. There's Happy Fanshu Japanese milk tea with pudding, Moon Leaf, Bubble Tea, ChaTime, Loose Leaf, Tea Bucks, The Tea Shop, Happy Lemon, just to name a few. Not to mention, you can also still order tea from old coffee shops we've known like Starbucks, CBTL, and Seattle
The first ever milk tea introduced to me was Nai Cha from ChowKing. I really liked Nai Cha, but I wonder why Nai Cha is now only being offered in a small boring size. It used to be sold in varying sizes. But no worries, milk tea is now more exciting because there's just so many tea shops to choose from, like Moon Leaf!
We have been long time fans of Moon Leaf, but getting to the nearest Moon Leaf from our house is out of the way going to school. So when news came out that Moon Leaf (Tolentino Street near UST) was opening, we went there soon as we had our free time.
What to Get.
If it's your first time to order from Moon Leaf, I suggest you try first their Wintermelon Milk Tea with pearls
How Much.
The prices range around 70 to 100 Pesos depending on the type of tea. Add ons like pearls, nata, aloe vera will cost you 10 Pesos more. It's recommended that you add nata or pearl to your milk tea. It just adds more character to your tea and makes your tea more special.
How it tastes.
Light and refreshing. Not too sweet and not bitter at all. The black pearl is chewy chewy, and the nata is chunky and fruity.

| Glorious. |
 |
| Tea or me? |
 |
| Waiting. |
 |
| Punch it. |
 |
| Yogurt Milk Tea with black pearls for me, Jasmine Tea Yakult and nata crystals for Sweet Pea. |
Verdict.
It's the unique experience that keeps us coming back for more.

. . . sir, nakalimutan mo yung Happy Fanshu. Japan Milk Tea with pudding. lolz
Thanks for reminding me, sige add ko :D
Napanood ko sa t.v yan,hindi ako mahilig sa tea pero dahil para syang Zagu parang gusto ko tikman.hehehehe. Alam mo kung ano nagpapasarap sa tea? Yun yung kasama mo yung mahal mo habang umiinom nyan.parang kayo! naks naman! sweet! :)
i'm excited about their opening in st. thomas square, p.campa. it's a stone throw away from my place. it just sucks that it will open on october 2, approximately a month before the bar exam and two months before i move out from my condo unit. :)
i wonder if they have that somewhere around makati or paranaque area.
for now though, i'm satisfied with Cha Time.
Not a tea person. Because I'm more of a beer person. But reading your review makes me want to drink this kind of tea!
yung yakult thingy ang sinasabing okay ang lasa pagdating sa ganyang tea drink.
pero mas gusto ko ng matatamis. :D
mas mura sya sa bubble tea sa mega. sana magkaroon nyan dito sa ortigas area... i also love nai cha. good alternative to sodas.
So this was what you were talking about. My personal fave is the hakka milk tea, it has a simple taste. I prefer drinking winter melon juice, uncomplicated by tea or milk, its much more refreshing. Tasty Resto in Binondo serves it.
I have a new favorite tea place...it's called Happy Leaf Milk Tea. sarap din!! nakaka-addict yung Ovaltine Milk tea nila. You should try it rah :)
