Including new brands you might not know of to keep your life bubbling with sweetness
We’ve come a long way since the days when Sweet Talk reigned strong at the bubble tea game. Now that the craze for the sweet tea-based drink has firmly taken over Singapore, leading brands from across Asia have been setting up kiosks here, piquing our curiosity with new, creative flavours. Milk tea with pearls has become the classic, old-fashioned choice; the more adventurous bubble tea fans are going for exotic fruit teas, cheese teas, and even popcorn teas.
While we may remain loyal to the major chains like Koi, Gong Cha and LiHo, many new shops have arrived in Singapore deserving a stop on your next drink run. Our list of the best bubble tea and milk tea brands in Singapore feature not just the cult favourites, but also ones to shake up your daily fix and prove yourself a true bubble tea connoisseur.

Follow the sweet aroma to Partea, a recently opened joint that offers fruit teas, cheese teas, as well as the classic milk teas. One look at the wide menu and you’ll see that traditional Chinese teas are a key inspiration of the drinks there. Sijichun tea (four seasons oolong), green tea, Pu’er tea, and more get reinvented with a dash of zesty fruits and cheese. For a refreshing and healthier fix, try the crowd-favourite Rainbow Tea series ($5.50 – $6.90 in L and XL sizes), named so for the colourful chunks of fresh fruits dunked and infused in premium Chinese teas.
