The Green Isle
The Green Isle is a bubble tea cafe that feels more like a greenhouse with vintage wooden benches, orchids, bamboo and pine coloured walls.
While you can find a variety of tea-based drinks available in regular serving sizes, their 1L cups are designed to cater to both social gatherings among friends or people looking for a recharge during work.
Their signature drink, the Orwell Mixed Fruit Feast ($8.99), is packed with watermelon, lemon, lime and grapefruit.
It almost transported me to a tropical paradise with notable flavours of four season oolong tea.
If a normal-sized drink fails to satisfy your bubble tea cravings, go for their Picasso Milk Tea with Everything ($8.99).
This rich and velvety classic milk tea delicately melds with 5 toppings—tapioca, red bean, oats, lychee jelly and pudding.
Bei Dao Oat Milk Tea ($6.99) is crafted with green tea and delightful oat pieces, delivering a smooth mouthfeel reminiscent of milk candy.
For those seeking a less sweet option, opt for light sugar level for a nuanced experience.
Versailles Peach Lychee Rose Oolong ($7.99) fruit tea is an elegant medley of peach juice and succulent lychee chunks, leaving a gentle floral note lingering on your palate.
Their Eileen Zhang Watermelon Coconut juice ($7.99) is a caffeine-free option. The freshly smashed watermelon and subtly sweet coconut juice blend together a lovely baby pink-coloured drink, all finished with watermelon agar bubbles ($1) for added texture.
The use of coconut milk gives this Gastiglione Longan Osmanthus Slush ($8.88) a creamy coconut taste. It is further drizzled with sweet-scented osmanthus sauce that harmonizes perfectly with the gummy osmanthus agar bubbles hidden beneath.
The Red Bayberry Delight Fruit Tea ($8.88) puts together the juicy red bayberries and fragrant jasmine tea, creating a flavour profile akin to mixed berry smoothies. Topped with creamy cheese foam, its savoury touch makes it a personal favourite.
The Green Isle is located at 4681 Hwy 7 unit 5.
