Presotea

Fantastic quality bubble tea at very decent prices! Lots of types (fresh, milk, juice) and flavour combos to choose from. Also a fantastic variety of toppings including pearls and jellies! These guys even go an extra step and offer different temperatures and the addition of ice or sugar!
I am officially addicted to bubble tea thanks to these guys — they have also recently opened up a store in Morley Galleria (I’m in trouble now!)

Super yummy bubble tea, much better in quality and taste compared to other places like Utopia and EasyWay. Takes a little bit longer for your drinks, but that’s because they have to brew the tea, but it’s worth it because it always taste good! Lots of flavours and toppings, the signature milk tea with pearls and/​or grass jelly and the matcha milk tea with red bean and grass jelly is my go to drinks! The matcha tastes great, with a good depth of matcha flavour.

If you think bubble tea is all sugar and no tea then you have to try Presotea– true tea flavours with a full on caffeine zing– if you choose black teas –it’s the only bubble tea joint that has panda pearls too! My preference over normal sago pearls!

This is one of my favourite bubble tea places in Perth, its always made fresh and they have great flavour combinations. My favourite is jasmin green tea!!! If you need bubble tea in the city, do check this place out!!!

Nice clean little shop. Order at counter, virtually no seating except for wait-​ers. They really should streamline the menu, though. It’s very complicated. Many dozens of options and each has further options and prices. a real headache! for example, when I ordered my simple” pearl milk tea”, there was a chart asking how much sweetener I required. it was in terms of per cent. I have no idea what that’s all about but I blindly chose 50%. Lucky me. It was flavored just right!

*sigh* I’ve been bad. I’ve been cheating on Utopia. 3 times so far.
Honestly, Presotea never caught my interest until a few weeks ago and now I’m majorly hooked. Their Lychee Milk Tea was just lovely. I requested less sugar and it was perfect. The lychee jelly comes with the drink, unlike Utopia where it’s an additional order. Secretly (or not so secretly) loving it more than Utopia’s!
I tried the Golden Oolong Tea with coconut jelly today and again just lovin’ it! My only gripe is the coconut jelly was sickeningly sweet. There was a ton of it so had to throw most of it away. I just couldn’t handle the extreme syrupy taste. Won’t be getting the coconut jelly next time.
I need to get on their Rewardle system since I’m planning on visiting them lots!

Presotea my favourite BBT joint in Perth. Will not miss it if I am nearby. Try their Okinawa brown sugar milk tea with pearl if you are thinking what to order next time.

After recovering from the initial shock of them telling me they did not have any matcha left (!!! I know right ???) I decided to pick something I had never had before. Enter perilla plum smoothie, with black tapioca pearls, of course. Wa wa wi wa! This was insanely good, the plums had been pickled and preserved and were tart and refreshing, not overly sugary. The tapioca pearls, or boba, or bubble, or whatever you want to call it were the PERFECT consistency. And then i sucked up something gelatinous like a chia seed? It must have been the innards of the plum, because i had no idea what it was, but it was definitely texturally interesting. I’m a fan for sure, and will more than likely be going back this evening.

This is my favorite bubble tea place on this side of the horseshoe bridge (My favorite on the Northbridge side is Meet Fresh).
I used to go to Utopia, and it is perhaps better for people who like flavoured teas like fruits and flowers. At the moment I am preferring the classic teas, like Black tea, Jasmine etc.
Today I had the Japanese Genmaicha tea — japanese green tea infused with roasted brown rice. Subtle and delicious.

Pro bubble tea

A stones throw away from its competition on Barrack St, I say skip your usual Utopia ritual and try Presotea on for size. I’m not saying its necessarily the better bubble tea, but I like their style.
There’s a smaller selection than Utopia but it’s a sophisticated edit. Less lolly and more natural tea. There are quite a few brewed green tea varieties to try. My pick? If you’re not into heaps of sweetness and want something light and healthy, go for the Japanese Genmaicha. It’s less bitter than other green teas, so it tastes great sans sugar and icey cold. So refreshing. Add coconut jelly and its a perfect warm weather pick-​me-​up. I also enjoy their «Panda sago» option– a combo of black and white pearls.
I can’t pick a fave, but for now, i’m all over Presotea’s more paired back and simplified bubble tea way.
