Paeonia is a little bubble tea spot in the Royal Station Market. The shop is incredibly cute from the all around glass windows, pink chairs, gold accents, and floral decorations, I really loved everything about it! It was like being in an upscale boutique, but for boba and it totally set the mood.
There was no queue and we promptly put in our orders. I went for the fluffy cheese tea mango and my other half got their signature fluffy cheese milk tea. You can customize your drink's sweetness level and the ice level, but we kept it standard. We opted to add tapioca pearls for our toppings which is an extra 70 pence per topping.
Although it was a bit of a wait for a drinks (there was only one worker), I waited in anticipation as I love sweets and bubble tea. The nice girl explained that their drink covers are made special and the heart plug comes out and you're able to stick it in the middle. Sipping from that spot will get you a taste of the fluffy cheese. On the opposite end is the opening for the straw and that'll allow you to get a taste of your drink/boba. It's brilliant really!
I wasn't sure what to expect from a bubble tea shop in Windsor, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. They don't skimp on the fluffy cheese and it tastes wonderful. It also pairs well with their drinks. The boba was also perfectly chewy and not overcooked or overly sweet.
From the servicescape, to the packaging, to the product itself - they've really done a wonderful job and I wish we had a spot like this back home on Maui. Highly recommend a stop here if you're nearby. read more
