When we went to Taiwan last year, we went on a MilkTea binge of sorts consuming almost 5 cups each per day. We would have wanted to try each milktea shop we see, but if you’ve been to Taiwan, you know that would be impossible.
It seemed, however, that we still missed one of the best tea places in Taiwan because we weren’t able to try Presotea. So when we got invited to try it out, we canceled everything on our scheduled, skipped lunch (to make room for tea) and headed to Robinsons Magnolia where they were opening their very first branch in the Philippines.
True enough, we made the right decision.
But first a bit of a background. Presotea had its first outlet in Taiwan in 2006, which I think was long before the milktea craze. It has since expanded to China, Hong Kong, Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Canada. They are also opening stores in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and South Korea in the near future.
Presotea now has almost 400 shops internationally and is one of the most popular tea- based chain in Taiwan. Here in the Philippines they also have a branch at SM Cherry Shaw.
So what makes Presotea different from all the other bubble tea shops? It only brews the tea when there is an order, so you are guaranteed a fresh cup everytime. Think of your how your favorite cafe makes coffee– Presotea follows a similar process for each cup.
Unlike regular bubble tea shops that brew tea in a bulk bucket–you’ve seen those water jugs right? Presotea uses one special tea bag for each cup of tea. So every drink is ensured to be freshly made because it’s brew-to-
order. Another thing that you’d quickly recognize is how rich and flavorful their tea is compared to other shops which seems to have been lost because of the sugar content. MilkTea Tip. if you wanna really enjoy the flavor lessen the sugar content to about 50% or even 30%!
Presotea prides itself in being Tea Specialists: It has developed a deep foundation in tea knowledge with years of experience in producing quality tea leaves. It has its own factories that process its various premium ingredients and toppings.
To produce the best tea, Presotea’s Headquarters in Taiwan hired innovative tea artisans and created a research and development team whose sole focus is to manufacture new and unique products that meet the needs of the customers
They have even invented a new tea brewing technology that sets them apart from the present beverage market.
State of the Art Tea-Brewing Machines
Presotea only serves the freshest and healthiest tea drinks. For this to be achieved, Presotea launched its own cutting edge tea-brewing machine known as the Teapresso. The high-temperature and high-pressure machine extracts the essence of tea, thus making every customer enjoy the fresh tea flavors and the bittersweet aftertaste.
So if you are a true milk tea connoisseur and are looking for a more flavorful tea experience make sure to try out Presotea.
