My opinion:

Ocha sells a large range of bubble milk tea. If I am not wrong, they started their business in 2013 and have a few branches in Singapore east. Honestly, I avoided their stalls in the past because I was not a fan of bubble milk tea. For this review, I visited their one of their stalls at Golden Mile Food Centre and bought their plum green tea for $1.50.

The female owners were smiling and quite friendly (good service) when they served me my drink. It was cool, mildly sour, refreshing and sweet. After finishing my lunch, I had the sleeping urge. This drink provided me with the much needed "wake up call". After I finished the drink, I found only there were only a few ice cubes inside the cup (major plus points).

Even though the drink was cheap and shiok, it had a small flaw that prevented it from a higher rating. The plum taste was a bit "powerful" and if the owners were not careful enough, it could overwhelm the tea taste.
