Molly Tea ✨
Hailing from China and being the talk of the town lately, I had to give it a try when I was in the area.

💭 Thoughts
Queue took around 30 mins at 5pm since the 1-for-1 deal was over. I didn't find the wait that long despite the long queue.
The recommended sugar level for their signature drink, the Premium Jasmine Milk Tea, was 70% with less ice. I found that I enjoyed the strong, floral taste but I did find 70% to be too sweet but this is coming from someone who personally prefers my teas at 0%.
I also tried the Snowy Jasmine, which was the same drink but with whipped cream and pecans. I couldn't get enough of the pecans as they were really crunchy and nutty and found myself wanting more.
💲 Pricewise
The Premium Jasmine Milk Tea, was $5.20 while Snowy Jasmine was $6.50. This makes it pricier than your average bubble tea.
🤔 Would I go again?
If the queue was shorter, why not treat myself once in a while? I'll probably try their drinks at 0% next time.
If you're a fan of jasmine milk tea like me, Molly Tea offers some unique twists worth exploring beyond the signature Premium Jasmine Milk Tea. For instance, adjusting the sugar level as per your preference can greatly enhance your experience—next time, I plan to try it at 0% sugar to fully enjoy the floral notes without sweetness overpowering. Their Snowy Jasmine drink stood out for me because of the whipped cream and the pecans adding a crunchy, nutty texture that balances the smooth tea. It's an indulgence that just feels right for an occasional treat. Since the shop can get busy, especially with deals, it's best to visit during off-peak hours to avoid long waits. Despite the slightly higher prices compared to regular bubble tea, the quality and flavor justify a visit if you appreciate premium jasmine tea. Also, don't hesitate to ask staff for recommended sugar and ice levels to tailor your drink. Many people prefer a lighter sweetener to highlight the jasmine's aroma, which Molly Tea is known for. In summary, Molly Tea at Orchard Central is a perfect spot for tea enthusiasts wanting to try something with a delicate yet distinct jasmine character and an interesting texture twist.
