Ever heard of bubble tea? This ultra-instagrammable drink, straight from Taiwan, has been all the rage in France for the past ten years. It’s made with tea, milk or fruit and tapioca pearls. You can also replace the tapioca beads with pearls of syrup called “bobba”, aloe vera or pieces of fruit. Hot or cold, bubble tea is the ultimate gourmet drink.
The Alley – The fanciest bubble tea in Paris
Known the world over, The Alley has established its tea shops in the finest cities. From Paris to Tokyo, you can enjoy our signature brown sugar bubble teas. In Paris, three stores have opened! Here you can try the famous Deerioca Milk crème Brûlée, a very creamy and generous bubble tea. Recipes change regularly to reflect the seasons. We recommend you try the new taro balls. Delicious!

Herb-Tea Taïwan – The benchmark for bubble tea
The Herbaceous Collection brand has been established in Taiwan, where bubble tea originated, for over 60 years. Today, a boutique has been open in Paris for 10 years. You can choose one of the brand’s teas, specify the sugar level you want and the type of pearl. We loved the milk and black sesame bubble tea, a very tasty and original combination.

Matcha Ochaya – The girliest of bubble teas
Heading for the land of the rising sun! Matcha Ochaya is one of the Parisian addresses that takes you on a journey to Japan, through its gourmet and colorful menu. The tea room, awash with cherry blossom, contributes to the clichéd Japanese atmosphere we love so much. You can enjoy sakura-flavored candy-pink drinks, and of course bubble tea. Our heart sways between the particularly gourmet Brown Sugar/crème brûlée and the basic but effective Green Tea and Tapioca.

This address is well known among tea lovers for the quality of its selection. Laïzé, which means “drop in whenever you like” in Taiwanese, is a pretty address that lives up to its name. You’ll be seduced by its clean lines and wide selection of teas. We love these fruity juicy bubble teas, delicious with jiya, a lightly lemony jelly perfect for replacing tapioca beads.
