There was one historical movie I watched where tea was poured into a bud and it quickly bloomed into a flower. I tried it once on my own when I bought a bud meant to bloom and be drank as tea, but it didn't really bloom when I poured water on it. I was mesmerized by TWG's tea list that seemed to go on forever, but of course I was drawn most to the flower teas. My friends and I chose a non-caffeine one the waiter recommended. Though I did not see it bloom as the teapot already had water, it was gratifying to see a big flower in the glass teapot. And, its flavor is quite intense - we had the pot refilled with water three times and I can still taste the distinct flavor even on the last refill. We paired the tea with macarons and scones, and I felt like I briefly got a taste of the England I read about in books. Of course the sweets were scrumptious. The place is quite pricey but the experience is definitely worth it if you want to drink tea taken to another level.

DISAPPOINTING. The…read moretea was satisfactory at best considering it came out lukewarm, not even hot, I would have been surprised if they had steeped the tea for longer than 30 seconds. The service was OK at best, where the waiters seemed more interested in getting us to leave the café so they could go home. The crépes were quite nice, although a bit rich with a creamy sauce, but that is up to personal taste. DO NOT get the chocolate fondant, whilst it may be advertised as warm it comes out stone cold, and the ice cream is nothing to write about either, it has far too many ice flakes in it, a symptom of being in a freezer for far too long. The decor is fantastic though, and the chairs are comfy. For a place that prides itself on its tea, I found it lacking and left sorely disappointed (especially with their English Breakfast)

Since this branch is open until midnight, it is a good place for a nice long relaxing chat with friends and/or family. Maybe even a zomatita party. I came here with my mom after picking her up from the airport. FOOD 4.5 CHIC TEA SET (500 PHP) Choose from 3 kinds of sandwiches; Veggie, Royal (salmon), or Imperial (Foie Gras). We decide on the Imperial set. The Foie Gras was delicious as usual. The set includes a pot of hot tea, for first timers try their Singapore Breakfast Tea for a light and refined flavour that's a light bit sweet and relaxing, or maybe the classic English breakfast tea for a dark choice. Or why not explore the hundreds of available teas in the TEA BOOK or simply venture go the displays and smell your way through their selection. Choice of 2 baked scones or muffins, we chose one of each. FRESH APPLE JUICE (200 PHP) Juiced in demand for a satisfying fresh taste. Free Singapore Surprise Cake in celebration of their 3rd year anniversary. It was delicious soft and creamy filling is so deflectable and satisfying. SERVICE One of the may signature details of TWG is their service, expect courteous and attentive staff. AMBIANCE Their biggest branch among the 5 and the only one with a restroom in store.

Prosperitea is another one of those whole in the wall sort of places that a lot of the locals,…read moreespecially teenagers and young adults, love to patronize. It's a very quaint and cozy place. It's often quiet, but when people talk it's never at a decibel level that will drive you stir crazy. They exclusively deal in teas. Milk Teas, teas with rock salt, fruit based tea, and etc. They have pasta and sandwiches for their customers. The thing I find most amusing with the franchise near my village is that it's also half a Thai noodle place. This means you can be sipping on milk tea while at the same time chowing down on pad se uy or pad thai. It has free WiFi meaning it's a hotspot for students to congregate right after class. If you ever find yourself in Las Pinas and looking for a quiet cozy place to stay in feel free to drop on by and give them a try.

I was able to achieve that here. It was my first time here and it definitely won't be my last. TRY the WHITE HOUSE TEA. It's a white tea with fruits, fragrant roses, and berries -- it was highly recommended by the staff and I was amazed at how fragrant & delicious it was. I can taste each element from the roses to the berries and it married well together. They gave me a choice to have it hot or iced but the drawback with having it iced was that it would only come in one cup so I had it hot and it came in a pretty little tea pot enough to make 3-4 cups and I enjoyed every drop up until the last. Angel, who was my waiter, was extremely friendly and gave great recommendations to a newbie like me. He also recommended I try the scones. I'm not much of a scone-lover but I'm so glad I took his recommendation. The scones were nice & warm and was served on a pretty tiered tray with cream & apple jelly -- awesome & delicious pairing with my tea... it wasn't too sweet and was perfectly flaky. I was able to purchase the White House Tea, which they prepare by shoveling the loose leaf into 50 or 100g bags. You can also purchase tins that will extend the tea's shelf life which I did since I won't be coming back to the Philippines for a while. I just wish I bought more because I made some tea for my parents which they loved but I've already gone through half of my leaves. I ended up spending quite a bit as I bought some bags of tea leaves as gifts for friends and I was surprised that they gave me half a dozen of macarons (my choice) as a gift. BTW THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS. Especially their signature flavor, Napoleon Tea w/ Caramel. The royal atmosphere is both comfortable and relaxing. It's a great place to wind down or catch up with friends. If I were to choose between a coffee shop or TWG, it'd definitely be the latter. I'll be back SOON (I hope)

Parking slots are limited but we haven't had a hard time just yet. Location is walking distance from National Shrine of the Sacred Heart and YMCA of Makati. FOOD We were supposed to try Zomato Gold to buy some pastries but they weren't included (including the Strawberry Short Cake), so we ended up purchasing their Soft Serve for the meantime. I must say, it was really good and pretty close to the soft serves at Japan. Quality of their vanilla was perfect and the cone was the most impressive part. If you're familiar with Filipino butter cookies called Lengua de gato, that's what it tasted like but this cone was a tad softer. It's a bit pricey but I got more than what I paid for thanks to that cone. I would still consider buying this again and to emphasize that point, I ordered it twice already. SERVICE Typical. We just ordered a Soft Serve. :p

I had mistakenly believed that Tea Farm right beside Eton's in front of Paranaque Doctors' Hospital…read morehad the same owner. I was wrong. It turns out that Tea Farm sort of competes with Eton's which serves brewed coffee. Sort of because as its name suggests, Tea Farm serves all sorts of tea, with its specialties being an assortment of milk teas. I know, I know. This place must have lost some of its clientele when there was a milk tea scare not too long ago. That was when the owner and a guest at a milk tea place were poisoned to death. Not good, huh? But the police have solved that case. There was nothing wrong with the milk tea per se. It seems that someone had placed a sugar-like poison in one of the containers. Fortunately, Tea Farm and all the other milk tea places have recovered. Since I spent two years in Dubai some years ago, our all-around office boy always prepared milk tea for me when I arrived at the office for the day's grind. So I was a fan of milk tea long before it became the rage in Metro Manila. I would rate the ice cold milk teas served at Tea Farm with a four out of five stars. It's not bad at all. And at the height of summer, it's a great way to cool off. Tea Farm is located along Dona Soledad Avenue, Paranaque not too far from the corner of Russia.

I've always been a fan of TWG but for some reason my visit to Shangri-La branch was just a 'meh'…read more I went there on a holiday and it was not packed. However it took time to get the attention of wait staff. The tea was awesome, as usual. I had the Sweet France tea for the first time and it smelled so good too. I had scones with my tea.

This used to be my go to place for scones, but I was disappointed and I don't think I'd go back.

HOT TEA (190 PHP) We had the "Singapore Breakfast Tea" our favourite among the dozen we tried so far. A light refreshing tea with a surprising sweet taste at the tip of the aroma. The place isn't fully enclosed space like their BGC, Greenbelt , and Resorts World branch, but it's big enough to make it feel like one.

Super friendly staff that remember your name and your drink. After your drink is brewed they always clean it up so well and put a lot of attention to putting it in the bag and giving you a napkin. All processes are very standardized, giving you a very consistent experience. You can choose your sugar level and your sinkers.

But it's all good because the service people here are really awesome. All of them know my drink by heart and they are super friendly and accommodating. They work pretty fast and hard and the drinks which they deliver are always pretty consistent (save of the pearls which are sweet sometimes only). There isn't much seating at this outlet, only outside by the road. So if you're looking to dine in then move along. My favorite is the range of brewed iced tea. The jasmine green tea is the best and the quality of the tea is surprisingly good considering that this is a big chain. The early grey is also really fragrant and good. However the red teas might go best if you add milk to them. Something I can't do since I don't consume dairy.
