In Pursuit of Ha-COFFEE-ness

A creamy and blissful journey of finding the best milk tea and coffee in the world

It’s been a while since I posted and because I think I’m missing a lot by not recording my drinks, I’m resuming it again now! First up: Espresso Yen at 28ml in Pratunam! It’s the local Thai version of iced espresso using Ethiopian blend. It’s bitter, given the single-origin blend, but the Thainess of the coffee is still drink. Will probably try another blend next time!

Factory Coffee’s Matcha Yen is hands down the best iced matcha latte in Thailand. Nothing compares!

The cheese foam on top adds a layer of saltiness to this sweet, creamy, matcha drink. An easy-going must-have drink that’s easy on the pocket!

It’s rich, fluffy, but not too sweet - Peak serves the perfect matcha for rainy weathers like this! 5/5

It’s bitter, grainy, and just the right amount of milk: this secret matcha spot at Rockwell Powerplant Manila should be one of the go-to places for a nice afternoon with matcha. 5/5

I’ve seen this around and this is the first time I’ve tried Cha Tuk Chak’s cha yen and I’m surprised to find how this tastes like an authentic cha yen! At first gulp, it immediately gives you that feel of Bangkok - walking in the streets under the scorching sun. What a treat! 5/5

A delectable mix of sweetened matcha, small pearls, and cheese, this milk tea drink from Paper Yoon is perfect for summer weather, or a quick escape from a busy week.

4/5

Starbucks latest summer offering, Oolong Jelly Matcha Royale, gives the freshness of iced matcha milk tea with a bit of sweetness coming from the oolong jelly. Milk overpowers both matcha and oolong, so it tastes more like milk than a tea drink.

Rating: 3/5

Fresh from the farm, #chouifongtea’s green milk tea is fresh, clean, with a hint of sharpness of fresh green tea. This is among #Thailand’s finest teas.

5/5

What a way to conclude a 2.5-hour long meeting with this matcha bubble tea from Brix. It’s creamy, thanks to the cheese-like cream on top and leathery matcha mix. The pearls, despite being sugary, and gentle to the tongue. It’s not too sweet, making this combo light. 4.5/5!

Thought matcha will always be the same until I tried Chaen’s dark matcha latte. It’s creamy with that punch of a matcha bitterness is a surprise to the senses!

5/5

Bluesmith’s #dirtychai tea latte is textured, frothy, and creamy! It’s great drink over #Christmas brunch. 10/10

Serenity’s Matcha Tea Latte is luscious, creamy, and grainy (probably the matcha? Or the sugar?) which probably makes this cold matcha tea latte worth coming back.

4.5/10

After You, this famous Thai dessert place, is now serving Hong Kong Milk Tea. I expected this to be a little less sweet, similar to its original counterpart, but this Thai version is a punch of sweetness! Not a good idea to go with toasts and figgy pudding.

6.5/10

Resurrecting my microblog of milk teas starting with this black sugar milk tea from #Brix Dessert Bar located in Siam Paragon. Pearls are generally tasty and the milk tea is not too saeet. For THB85, this milk tea is serving more than enough!

7/10

Got this really good and beautifully presented hot matcha latte in a popular cafe in Phaya Thai called "Quest Cafe". The place is also peaceful and they even have a courtyard that's a good hangout place on weekend afternoons!

One of the perks of living in Bangkok is the everyday access to Matcha latte drinks! This one is available at a coffee house called “Staff Coffee” located just outside our office building. Not that creamy but very tasty and worth it at THB45!
