World-renowned bubble tea chain, Gong Cha is launching a new quick service tea room in London's Covent Garden on 14 August, and will mark the group's fifth UK opening.
The Taiwanese 27-year-old brand, which launched in the UK in 2019, is available in over 21 countries with 1,500+ stores.
The group will open the 65sq m store on Garrick Street, joining those in Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle.
Gong Cha bubble tea is distinctive for its focus on the finest ingredients and tea masters select only the finest tea leaves and ingredients to provide premium quality drinks. Over 40 bubble tea variations will be available at the new venue, which will open daily from 11am each morning until 8pm.
Milk teas are a classic choice providing a rich and creamy experience, with the Pearl Milk Tea a firm favourite. Tea bases can be selected from the options of black, oolong, green or earl grey Tea. The menu of tea infused drinks and milk tea options is complimented by smoothies and other refreshing drink options including firm favourite, Dirtea.
The bubbles in bubble teas are chewy pearls of tapioca balls, which bring life to the drinks. Other popular toppings that can be added to the teas are Gong cha’s signature milk foam (a sweet and savoury combination), coconut jelly and pudding.
Bubble teas can be served with selected levels of sweetness. On ordering, menu options allow customers to choose a percentage of sweetness for their preferred taste making Gong cha bubble teas personalised to the customer, always with the premium quality ingredients.
Justin Liew, Head of Gong Cha England, said, “Gong Cha has led the way in the premium bubble tea market, and we anticipate high demand in Covent Garden as local workers, shoppers and tourists enjoy our teas.
'They are refreshing at any time of the day, so we are offering extended opening hours to offer the opportunity to try tea from morning till night.”
