A Fun Tea Time at Presotea SM North EDSA

My family and I love milk tea. We love it so much that family bonding time almost always involve milk tea. So when my sister asked me to tag along with her to check out the newly opened Presotea at SM North EDSA, we happily joined in.


Presotea is a well-known tea-based chain from Taiwan that has almost 400 shops internationally. They have an extensive range of tea choices which are proven to be of high quality. I guess the number of the shops they have all around the world only shows that Presotea must be doing something great. And based on the tea drinks selections we have tried, I could say that they are indeed worthy of fame.


Aside from the fact that Presotea produces high quality tea leaves, they also invented a new tea brewing technology called Teaspresso.


To ensure freshness, Presotea practices a brew-to-order method that guarantees each and every customers that they are getting the best tea that they can have.

During this visit, we tried Presotea's Brown Sugar Latte with Black Pearl, Apple Passion Yakult, and Japanese Genmaicha Milk Tea with Red Beans. All of which were delicious especially the Brown Sugar Latte.


There are still a lot of Presotea's tea selections that we would love to try and we would definitely visit very soon. It's a good thing that they have numbers of branches already here in Manila located at SM Marikina, Robinsons Magnoilia, SM Cherry Shaw, and The Annex SM North EDSA.
