Chatime

Anyone who loves bubble tea will be well aware of the Easyways and other chain stores around. While I do love an Easyway, Chai Time in Toowong Shopping Village has its own unique range of teas that are absolutely to die for. The first time I tried their Pink Grapefruit Green tea I was in love. It was the perfect blend of sweetness with a flavour that makes my mouth water even as I talk of it now. The staff are always friendly and the service is quick. I must admit that I have craved their tea to the point that I have made special trips to Toowong just for a cup of it. I highly recommend you try some. In fact, I think I might go and get some right now…

I was in a hurry to get my massage and saw Chatime for the first time in Toowong Village. With the attractive bright pink neon sign and the cool digital display screens that I thought were posters on the sides of their cubicle… I thought, now here’s a trendy little bubble tea place… and I love me some bubble tea. I usually get my lychee green tea with pearls but I thought I would try the Macha Latte… a mixture of green tea and milk latte somehow the milk and the green tea part look separate in the cup so you end up walking around with a super cool looking drink.
They even ask you the amount of sugar you want in your drink and you can get crème brûlée in your drink as well instead of pearls… or both if you’re feeling adventurous. I know I know… it sounds weird, but trust me when I say… it is quite the taste sensation that works really well! You’ll pay the standard $ 4-​$ 5 for your drink including jelly or pearls or nothing and the sizes are pretty good too. They even ask you if you want ice in your bubble tea. Very friendly staff mixed with interesting looking combinations for your tea drinking delight… this is an international Taiwanese chain starting out in Australia. I think it’s got a fair bit of competition but I also think it may do pretty damn well.
