itea - Elias Mall is a bubble tea shop at 625 Elias Rd, #01-K6, Pasir Ris, Singapore. It holds a 4.7 Google rating from 188 reviews, a very strong score for a drinks outlet.
Good bubble tea starts with the tea itself, which should taste of tea rather than only sugar, and with toppings that have the right texture, such as pearls that are chewy and not hard in the middle. Most shops let you adjust sweetness and ice, and asking for less sweet is a simple way to taste the tea properly. If you are unsure what to order, a classic milk tea or a fruit tea is an easy first choice, and staff can usually suggest what is popular. Pearls are best drunk soon after they are made, as they harden as they cool, so avoid leaving a drink for long. Regulars know queues are longest after school and in the evening, and quieter in the middle of the afternoon.
For residents of Pasir Ris and anyone passing through Elias Mall, itea is a very highly rated place for a bubble tea.
