No.17 Tea - Bukit Timah is a bubble tea shop at 35 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, Bukit Timah, Singapore. It holds a 4.8 Google rating from 379 reviews, a very strong score for a drinks shop.
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 a staff member 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 mid-afternoon.
For anyone around Upper Bukit Timah Road, No.17 Tea is a very highly rated place for a bubble tea.
