Months before quarantine, you may have noticed a resurgence of milk tea shops around Metro Manila. People were raving about new unique flavors brought by both local and international brands. Restaurants started including milk tea in their beverages menu—and we were all for it—well, until quarantine put all that on hold. However, thanks to the digital landscape, we can resume this milk tea craze as more stores are reopening for pickup and delivery. For your daily dose of sugar, here’s where you can have milk tea delivered.

Global milk tea franchise The Alley is delivering its matcha and cocoa brown sugar milk tea beverages to our homes. We recommend their trio milk tea infused with tapioca, coconut jelly and konjac jelly. Order through GrabFood, Lalafood and Foodpanda.

If you can’t decide between ice cream or milk tea, just go for La Tearia’s shaved milk tea. It’s got the consistency of ice cream but all the elements of milk tea—tapioca pearls, milk and your choice of toppings. They deliver through Foodpanda.

For something that’s a little less creamy and a bit more caffeinated, try out Tuan Tuan’s Hong Kong milk tea (or nai cha). You can order it hot as well. Order through GrabFood.
Tiger Sugar

When Tiger Sugar first opened in the country, it became the talk of the town. So we’d be remiss not to include this crowd favorite in this list. Order their brown sugar boba milk tea with Milo, cream mousse or other toppings through Lalafood, Grabfood, and Lalamove.
