"If there was a PhD in bubble tea, the staff at Formosan Tea Bar, in Oxford’s City Centre, would have it. They’ll offer you shots of strong oolong, and have jasmine kombucha on tap. Have a taste and tell them the sweetness level you typically like, and they will almost always recommend you the right thing. It’s not the kind of bubble tea spot with popping strawberry boba or cheese clouds, this is for the “that’s too sweet” and “what’s with all the icing” bubble tea-lovers who need to actually taste the strong tea creeping through." - rianne shlebak
