Uji Snow 4.2/5
The matcha series feature a variety of authentic matcha beverages made with only the highest grade of matcha powder sourced from Uji. Each cup is hand-whisked to order, with a Japanese ceremonial bamboo whisk till an ethereally-light froth is formed and carefully topped onto the drink, in order to ensure the freshness of each drink served. The Uji Snow ($6.50) comes in a cup of matcha drink layered with fresh milk. Smooth and creamy, the drink boasts a fresh milky body with an authentic flavour of the Uji matcha powder used, presenting a well bitter-sweet balance. The original bobii added has a soft bite with a chewy texture to it. Other variations from the series include the Dawn of Uji ($5.90) a matcha and lemon mix, and Uji River ($4.90) a pure green tea drink as well.
Extraordinary Bubble Milk Tea 4.2/5
The Tea/Au Lait series feature specially curated blends that use single-origin tea leaves to boast an authentic, inimitable fragrance. In addition, only fresh milk is used, resulting in a rich flavour worthy of a tea au lait. One of the drinks from this series – The Extraordinary Bubble Milk Tea ($4.50) comes in a cup of fragrant black tea layered with fresh milk. The addition of brown sugar bobii contributed a subtle sweetness on top of the strong tea aroma, and soft tapioca chewiness to the drink which gets addictive after a while. After taking your insta-worthy shots, the drink is best enjoyed upon mixing of the perfectly proportioned tea, milk and bobii.
Bobii Frutii Singapore works closely with the Taiwanese team and undergo strict tea-making training to ensure the best customer experience. With the first outlet to open in the Clementi Mall well under way, there are even plans of expanding the outlet to more branches in prime shopping malls such as Suntec City later in 2018.
