Zen Tea at EGI Taft Tower

Zen Tea, located at the EGI Taft Tower along Taft Avenue Manila, is a hangout place near De La Salle University (DLSU), where people have their tea fix and pass time with their friends. It's a hole in the wall stall, similar to the ones in the UP Shopping Center (SC), but it's much more cozier and cooler.

You'll have to order and pay at the cashier, then wait for your order to be called out. They have a second floor where you and your barkada or friends can sit and relax while you enjoy your tea.

They offer several tea drinks, like the Green Tea Iced Tea, Personalitea, and the Milk Teas with pearls. As you can see in the photo below, they are served in two sizes (L and XL), and with the corresponding prices.

I only got to try the NaiCha or the Pearl Milk Tea (XL at Php 50), which was supposed to be their bestseller. I can't help but compare it to Serenitea (the tea place I instantly fell in love with). I have to say it's miles away from Serenitea. I don't care if it's Php 40 cheaper, but this didn't even come close to Serenitea's Hokkaido Milk Tea. There was just something odd in the mix.

I guess I have to give it the benefit of the doubt. The other tea we got, for Tracy, was the Lemon Green Iced Tea (Php 40). I hope it was much better than their milk tea. I have to go back and try out their other tea-concoctions. Until then, this is my review. P.S. I miss my Serenitea-fix! :))

  8. Recently discovered a new milk tea place in taft area. Tea Central. Try their hazelnut, malt and ice cream milk teas! I like it better than zentea or serenitea.

  9. Daily talaga bumibili kami ng Nai Cha. We're surprised for the price increase. From Php50.00 to Php 70.00. Sana babaan nmn nila ang price. Dati ang daming pila lagi dito sa RCBC Plaza pero ngaun, bihira n lng ang bumibili...

  12. Zen Tea doesn't even compare to other milk teas i tried, specifically NAICHA and SERENITEA. it tastes really bland and artificial.
