Owl Teh Tarik (Instant Milk Tea)

Owl Teh Tarik (hand-pulled milk tea) is probably one of the best instant milk tea brands I've sampled. It's the closest rendition of hand-pulled milk tea in powder form. I couldn't help but ooh and aah when I first tasted it and had to stop myself from finishing the pack I bought from Singapore in a week. It because too sweet though when I added condensed milk, but was perfect when I added fresh milk on another day. Definitely getting several packs when I visit Singapore again.

Super Milk Tea (Instant 3-in-1)

I just tried Super's instant milk tea just now. Tasted like milk tea from hawker centers but with a citrus twist aftertaste. I think I should have added some condensed milk when I had a glass. It's not so bad though, I think I'll have another try soon.

Kozui Green Tea

Headed to Kozui Green Tea at Tomas Morato with a couple of friends after attending an event. It was just two blocks away from the event so Sweetie and I just walked. It was nestled between an internet cafe and a resto. Everything was green inside Kozui and I felt totally refreshed after walking under the sun.

I immediately scanned the menu for milk tea (addict!) and found that they had tea lattes. Of course, majority of the drinks available had green tea as its base (obviously!). Most of my friends had fruit teaz, flavored green tea. Here's Karla's drink, flavored green tea with lemon (Sweetie had his with raspberry):

So I spoiled the fun and ordered iced black tea latte since I thought it would be the best tasting milk tea drink. I liked it but just found it a little bitter (I like my milk tea sweet).

Juned had some "green tea halo-halo" (I forgot to get its exact name). I had a spoonful of green tea ice cream and loved it. I'll definitely get some green tea ice cream next time I have the chance to visit Kozui.

And I hope next time I'll have some space in my tummy to try out their snacks like this takoyaki balls that Sha and Karla shared.

Mr. Tea Milk Tea (Instant 3-in-1)

I got a pack of Mr. Tea instant Milk Tea in Singapore during my last trip. I was actually looking for a pack of Gold Kili Milk Tea since I loved its taste so I just got a pack of Mr. Tea's instant milk tea instead. (Since it's called Mr. Tea, I kinda thought I'd find Mr. T's photo on it, LOL).

Immediately tried it when I got home in Manila and thought it tasted like milk tea sold at hawker centers. Just added a teaspoon of condensed milk to make it a bit sweeter. It's one of my frequent afternoon delights.

Tea at Caffe Ti-amo

I was pleasantly surprised when we were served peppermint and lemon grass tea at Caffe Ti-Amo during their store blessing today. The store manager brought us this cool looking device and explained that they would steep fresh tea leaves in it. You just need to place hot water, the tea leaves and wait 15 minutes. When it's ready just put it on the cup and it will automatically transfer the tea sans the leaves.

I tried out the peppermint tea and I almost finished off the whole cup since it was really good. One order is about PhP100 (huge serving!). And they also sell the tea gadget for about PhP2K.

You may want to read more about Caffe Ti-amo. I wrote about their yummy Italian gelato in Lakwatsera Ako.

Mine Shine

Milk tea fanatics will surely love this treasure my husband and I discovered at 7-Eleven. Yes, 7-Eleven!!!

Introducing, Mine Shine, a ready to drink milk tea beverage available at all 7-Eleven stores. At first we only found it at one of the branches in Makati, but it eventually became available in the 7-Eleven store near our home (hooray for that!).

How does it taste? It tastes like the hokkaido milk tea at Serenitea. Far from the taste of Pokka's and Royal milk tea since it doesn't have a citrus tinge.

Definitely something I'm storing in my ref. Thank you 7-Eleven!

Amaretto Tea Latte, Serenitea

My husband loves amaretto. He orders amaretto coffee whenever it's available. He loves it so much that I once had a long line of tweets with other tweeters about how to find this flavoring. Also tried to look for it locally but I have been unsuccessful.

So you can just imagine how he lit up when he saw listed in Serenitea's menu the Amaretto Tea Latte. He also had coffee jelly with it and just had 75% sweetness level.

And his reaction? (He mistakenly posted it on Plurk when I asked him what he thought about the drink).

Serenitea location details are here.
