(SPOT.ph) There’s no such thing as going over the top when it comes to go-to treats like milk tea. While it can be enjoyed as it is, toppings add another layer of flavor or texture to the beverage. Milk-tea chain Royaltea's newest drink offers a decadent option we haven’t seen anywhere else: The Cheezo Puff Milk Tea with Boba (P120/500 ml, P130/700 ml). It has the usual milk-tea components, topped with sweet cheese puff cream. The rich, fluffy puff adds an even creamier kick to the milk-tea base and has a smooth consistency in every sip. You can get this drink starting today, October 28, at all Royaltea branches nationwide.

If custard is more your thing, you can also go for their Milktea Cheezo with Crème Brûlée Pudding (P140/500 ml), a drink with a milk-tea base with crème brûlée and topped with Royaltea’s signature Cheezo topping and caramelized sugar. There’s also the Brown Sugar Milk Cheezo with Crème Brûlée Pudding, which has milk tea, pudding, Cheezo topping, black-sugar syrup, and boba, if you're the type who wants a little bit of everything.

Speaking of brown-sugar drinks, Royaltea also has a brown-sugar series featuring fruits, which is something you might not find in other chains. Take your pick from their Avocado, Mango, Taro, and Strawberry flavors. You’d be happy to know that the fruits are locally sourced, so you’re also helping local farmers in a small way.
