Gong Cha
You'll find rosella plum and lemon-roasted melon tea at this global boba chain.
Overview
Since opening its first shop in Taiwan in 2006, Gong Cha has already grown to 1500 stores globally. And, because that's clearly not enough, the brand also operates the first boba tea shop at sea. Gong Cha's luxury cruise liner — dubbed the Majestic Princess — sails all around the world, from Alaska and Europe to Tahiti and the Panama Canal. It also offers guests 15 different teas to choose from, including a trio exclusive to the cruise. If you'd rather get your Gong Cha fix on land, you can choose from a whopping 36 stores in Sydney, stretching from Campbelltown to Castle Hill to Penrith and everywhere in between. It's a big menu, so newbies should go for one of the top ten — which includes milk tea with pearls, mango and jellies, matcha red bean and milk foam green tea. Plus more unusual items like rosella plum tea with white pearls and lemon-roasted melon with basil seeds.
