DUBAI: The craze for “bubble teas” is gathering steam among Pinoys. Just recently, Tsaa Time opened and testament to just how much Filipinos love the drink was the huge crowd that queued in.
Tsaa Time (Bubble Tea) shop is managed by New West Zone company and is located in Al Khail Gate, Al Quoz, Dubai.
Since the milky syrup-flavored tea has taken the hearts of the Filipinos in the Philippines, overseas Filipino workers here in the UAE have shown the same love for their favorite comfort drink. Although Filipinos are big fans of hot coffee, they have come to enjoy the flavor of bubble teas, which originated in Taiwan.
Tsaa Time offers over 20 varieties of tea-drink and each are categorized as Milk Tea, Smoothies and Fruit tea, sold for only Dh15. The favorite add-ons such as tapioca pearl, red beans, egg pudding, strawberry boba, green apple boba and more are also available for as low as Dhs3.
TFT caught up with two Pinays, namely Crescelie Lintuan and Ana Jean Lumabi, sipping this delicious drink during the opening and here’s what they said: “Sobrang sarap talaga nito,” with a smile on their faces.
The top management of Tsaa Time, Tolaram Vatnani said: “What sets us apart from our competitors is that we have a pretty extensive drink selection from Milk tea, Fruit tea and Smoothies.”
He said this is just the first of the many Tsaa refreshment spots they will be opening around the UAE. They are planning to spread it across the country.
