Tiger Sugar
This is one that's on every bubble tea drinker's list—and for good reason. Tiger Sugar is arguably among one of the first few bubble tea brands that sparked the sugary obsession that has since been plaguing our nation with its iconic golden-brown stripes. The brown sugar is such a classic, oftentimes to the point where it is used as a benchmark for comparison.

The Alley
A staple in the bubble tea scene, The Alley can be easily recognised by its deer antler motifs that represent the brand’s Deerioca tapioca boba pearls. Each round-bottom cup of Brown Sugar Deerioca Fresh Milk is lined with a generous bed of tender bobas, slicked with a layer of caramelly brown sugar syrup. Natural sugar canes are boiled in-house to serve each order and thus intentionally dialing the sweetness down a couple notches.

Xing Fu Tang
There is a wide variety of Boba drinks at Xing Fu Tang, with most of the ingredients such as the brown sugar and tapioca starch all directly imported from Taiwan. It uses 100% natural brown sugar with no additives, essences or preservatives, where the bobas are hand-made freshly in-house everyday. The brown sugar are stir-fried in a traditional way with the bobas, which lends it a nice fragrance.

KOI
KOI has a very distinct milk tea taste that is very hard to miss. The milk tea was not overly sweet and their pearls has the right amount of chewiness to it.
