chicha san chen torontoI tried one of the top sellers, Bubble Milk Tea ($7.95) which is their classic black tea latte that has a silky texture and prominent tea flavour.

Freshly made every 3 hours, the bubbles are warm, tender and slightly chewy.

chicha san chen torontoI'd also recommend the High Mountain Pouchong Tea with Cream and Bubble ($7.95) which has a creamy mouthfeel like ice cream.

chicha san chen torontoThe unsweetened Green Tea with Fresh Milk ($6.95) truly reflects the flavour of their award-winning green tea if you're looking for something a little more straightforward.
