With the weather being so nice and humid in England these days and I bet you're thinking to yourself 'what can I do to cool myself down?' When Starbucks and Costa coffee's ice drinks just isn't doing it for you anymore, I've found the perfect place to cool yourself down in the Manchester City centre and its bubble tea! The restaurant is called 'Chatime' and is in China town!
Bubble tea comes from Taiwan and has been very popular all over Asia for many years and has been in England too but not many English people have probably had the chance to try it. Here's your chance guys! Bubble Tea is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Taichung, Taiwan in the 1980s. Most bubble tea recipes contain a tea base mixed/shaken with fruit or milk, to which chewy tapioca balls and/or fruit jellies are often added. The first time I tried bubble tea was a couple of years ago but I didn't really like it then recently a friend of mine brought me bubble tea from this place Chatime and it was really delicious and I've being having it all the time since then. Obsessed!

They sell a variety of drinks such as milk teas, fresh tea, fruit tea, latte's, smoothies and coffee! In the past 2 weeks I've been around 4 times. It's so incredibly addictive and makes you want to keep going back for more and trying all different kinds of flavours the shop has to offer. With very friendly and welcoming staff making your time at Chatime lovely and cozy. Their knowledge about bubble tea and the drinks they sell is top notch to help you find the best drink suited to your taste buds. It isn't that expensive either for a regular it is £2.95 and £3.45 for a large and you get a lot for your money.
You can also customise your drink to how you want it such as lowering or highering the sugar level for you weight watchers like me~! More or less ice, pearls or jelly? It's up to you! There really is something for everyone at Chatime. It's really easy to get to as-well as its near the very popular Wasabi in China Town! So what are you waiting for? Pop in, say hi and try some delicious bubble tea!
