Choo Tea is a bubble tea shop located in Aberdeen Square. Choo Tea offers specialty drinks made with quality ingredients at a premium price. We decide to give the spot a try to see if they are worth the higher price point.
The first thing that catches your eye when you visit their store front is their brightly coloured drinks. They have a large poster with a photo of some of their top drinks. The drinks here range from $5.50 to $6.55 depending on the size.
Peach oolong tea
This peach oolong tea was full of fresh peachy flavour! Even though Oolong is a robust tea, you could still smell the sweet peach. Grayson said the tea was lightly sweetened from the fruit but it had notes of bitterness from the oolong tea in the aftertaste.
Purple sweet potato milk with sweet potato balls
This is a drink that I have yet to see anywhere else so I had to give it a try! The drink had purple sweet potato mash on the bottom and then it was topped with fresh milk. The sweet potato added a floral and sweet note to the drink. This added a completely different flavour profile than if it was a taro base. The sweet potato balls were chewy and similar to tapioca pearls in texture. This little drink was a hefty $6 so it did come with a premium price point.
Would I get it again? Probably once in a blue moon, purely because of the price point.
