Chocolate Bubble Tea With Mango Pearls

I love a little treat especially after going around the shops and wanting a little pick me up. I really enjoy bubble tea as a treat.

This one is chocolate with 50% sugar, no ice with mango pearls.

I personally don’t like anything too sweet so it’s nice to have the option to adapt the drink to my tastes.

I’ve tried the mango and lychee pearls, I really like both but think the mango is maybe just slightly nicer as milder flavor it’s more refreshing, the lychee is still really good when feeling like something a little sweeter and the nice floral sweet lychee taste.

What’s nice about this place that I got my bubble tea is they use eco friendly straws made of paper.
