A good bubble tea shop is judged on the tea base first, since a clean, well-brewed tea matters more than the toppings. Pearls are best eaten soon after they are cooked, so a shop with a steady flow of orders is often a sign of fresher toppings. Sweetness levels are usually adjustable, and many regulars ask for less sugar than the standard setting to taste the tea itself. A plain milk tea or fruit tea is a sensible first order for judging the base before trying the more elaborate drinks.
Velocity sits in a busy shopping and office area in Novena, which makes this shop an easy stop for a drink between errands or meetings.
