Reviews Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea

Tried these both in Taiwan and here in Manila. Went on a weekday so there wasn’t any line. Large serving can be for sharing. Just a little more expensive than other milk tea shops. Had the Brown Sugar Pearl Oolong Tea Latte

quick service and no lines. I love their fruit tea and yakult drinks. so good. The fruit tea is a combination of dessert and tea all in one. We always get yifang if we are at ayala the 30th.

We came from a food event and wanted something to wash away the after taste. Just as we were killing time (and searching for that something) we saw this brand. There was a long line which well, though not (and never!) a guarantee that what they're selling is good, we still joined the party and just hoped for the best.

Though I couldn't say the best, Yi Fang ranks with the good ones. Ok, the better ones.

My Yakult Iced Tea was surprisingly good. Not sweet, as they say, ehem, refreshing (sorry for the choice of word). I said it because it was.

Same with my friend's Signature Fruit Tea drink. It had more flavors without tasting like pureed fruit cocktail. I liked both.

Really popular Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea has a queue of people even on a weekday in The 30th Ayala Mall. That shows you how good it is.

We ordered the Yi Fang Signature Fruit Tea with so much juicy fruity fresh flavors that you could even add more ice in it when you are halfway thru. I really like it that I'm wanting it right now. I would recommend that you get at most 50% sugar, maybe go for 30%.

We also tried the Yakult Iced Tea which was just ok with me.

They do have a few tables on the side. Great place to chill and watch people coming and going from Gold's Gym, #EyeCandy.

Place - Yi Fang is just a small establishment w/ just few tables and chairs so if you're a large group, better to have it take away.

Service - tea were served after 5 minutes. Staff is very friendly.

Drinks - i ordered the YiFang Signature Fruit Tea w/ 30% sweetness and it's very refreshing and really delicious (regretting that I ordered the medium one).

Ordered the Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte — the pearls were actually the best ones I’ve tried. The drink, per se, has a simple flavor into it like a classic milk tea. It’s good but we wish it would have more ice to be really cold and better next time.

New fave tea shop!! I always order 2 drinks either a refreshing Wintermelon Lemonade or their Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte. i love it so much! Tried also their branch in BGC sobrang haba ng pila lagi, 8 pm palang sold out na Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte nila coz they have honest bee delivery also. Please spread branches in Greenbelt and Megamall 😊

First time to try the Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte. Sugar level 100%.

Other reviews had me warned that this tastes bland even at 100% sugar, and boy were they right! Haha! BUT I LIKED IT! I liked it so much!

It's not your typical sweet and creamy milk tea, it's the not-sweet, "mature"-tasting milk tea.
Top layer (milk tea) - The milk tea itself is "bland" as others say, because it would seem to me that there wasn't (or had little of) sugar there. Upper layer is your on-point, no-frills milk tea. And don't worry, the "tea" flavor is not strong at all as others would anticipate.
Bottom layer (brown sugar) - Bottom layer is your brown sugar syrup that's surprisingly still not strikingly sweet (it's sweet but it won't hurt your throat). Then there's the small, sticky, gooey pearls amidst the syrup.
Mix the the top and the bottom layer and what do you have? Magic. Lol, but kidding aside, what made this a winner for me was the balance and the blending of the two layers. The balance of bland and sweet, plain and flirty, white and black. Enjoyable yet not sinful on every sip. Note though, that even when mixed, it's still not gonna taste like your normal sweet creamy milk tea. And that's actually why I loved it.

Yi Fang is not my favorite tea place because it isn’t as strong as I want it to be, but it’s one of my go to tea places due to it’s flavor options. From a fruit tea to a basic milk tea, the experience is always refreshing.

I’ve been hearing rave reviews on this latest Milk Tea brand to hit Manila. While strolling at Ayala Mall’s 30th tonight, I spotted them and quickly shared cups with Mia.

Since I was a first timer and it was late, I opted for their signature Fruit Tea. It had no caffeine and contains not much sugar. It was refreshing with ample sweet edible fruits. It had slice apples, oranges and bits of seeds of passion fruits on top of natural juices from lemon and pineapple. I suggest going for a max of 30% sugar only.

Next stop try is their Wintermelon Milk Tea. It is a type of variety available in a number of tea brands, so a good basis of comparison.

Tried the sugar milk tea and I it’s really good. I just hope they have dine in area for ppl to stay and chat. Beware of the line but dont worry it is worth the wait 😊 Hope to try other flavors too. Soon

I am a big fan of milk tea. I always lose the ability to say no whenever someone asks me if I'd like to go for a milk tea run. But lately, due to slower metabolism and fats crawling and hibernating in places such as hips, belly and other parts you wish would never turn lumpy, I try to avoid sinkers and go for healthier alternatives such as fruit teas. And thank goodness for Yi Fang!

Wanna beat the summer heat? Well then, head to this place and get refreshed in a healthy way. Yi fang fruit tea is Taiwan's number 1 fruit tea as per my Taiwanese friends. 
Today, I went to their branch in Ayala Mall the 30th to give it a try. I tried their signature fruit tea. It was really refreshing.

What I like?
1. Price
It is really affordable. I paid 105php for their signature fruit tea.
2. Place
The place is small but it is really nice. They have wooden tables and chairs. The accent on the wall is also great. they are trying to tell you how the traditional Taiwanese people prepare their tea.
3. Service
The clerk was really nice as he asked for our order.

What I do not like?
They didn't inform us that we just have to wait in the claiming area. We sat on the chairs and waiting till they call us XD but it's okay. I don't mind.

My new favorite! Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte is soooo goooood. I have a sweet tooth so I always order milk tea drinks at 100% sugar level, but surprisingly this one was not as sweet as I expected so I think other people will like it too. Super love their pearls (sago) too, they were sweet & with just the right chewiness. I don’t usually like small sago but this time I didn’t mind because they were yummy and will order double next time.

Gave them a perfect score because I loved the drink and because they even made available tables and chairs at the side of their small stall in case you want to relax while sipping your drink. I’m definitely going back for more of this Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte and I want to try their Signature Fruit Tea. They gave out a loyalty stamp card so ask for one in case they forget to give you. 😉

Years ago, most of us, Filipinos, were not that exposed to quality-teas other than those that can be bought on a local grocery store. We are sure many of us can only classify just black and green tea, the strong one and the healthy one. That’s it! That’s how tea were circulating in our lives back then.

Not until lately – where tea shops blossomed all over, spreading like a plague, a beautiful plague that infected our taste buds, offered something new to our palates. Almost anyone can open a tea shop, just think of a word wherein you can add -Tea on it, viola! A tea shop is now in place, a fast-paced commercial drink stop everyone welcomed. However, some compromised quality, others compromised authenticity.

But here goes Yi Fang – Taiwan’s Best Fruit Tea, brought in the Philippines last year by a group of individuals who believed in the brand’s stability and authenticity. Yi Fang is a one true hit in its home country with its many branches all over, and is now conquering the world. They have one branch in the Philippines to date but they’re currently on the works for few more branches at San Juan and SM North Edsa.

Yi Fang source only the high-grade teas and the freshest ingredients from Taiwan. We love their concept of not deviating from their store look, google Yi Fang and you will discover the similar look of their stores at different locations. They have this signature black wall and open-window kitchen where anyone can take a peek of how the drink was made.

At first glance, Yi Fang looks like a small pop-up store for to-go drinks. We didn’t notice further that they also have a space to sit down and just enjoy your orders peacefully. Limited number of tables are available on the side of the store.

These are some of the many drinks Yi Fang has to offer. Some are smooth and no fuss, some has something in it – such as tapioca, fruits, seeds and jellies. Either way you want it, one can ask to adjust sweetness, toppings, sinkers, to anything you want your drink to be. Or if too empty to decide, ask their staffs as they are knowledgeable enough what works best.

Yi Fang Signature Fruit Tea (P120) – This one of their best-seller, a special blend of fruit juices and mountain tea, worthy of bearing the brand to its name. This drink has a generous amount of fresh apples, lemons and oranges. It also has a good number of passion fruit seeds (totally edible, btw!) for some extra munch. We learned that most customers did not like this part, and they opt to keep this out. But for us, it was a good addition as it adds flavor and crunch, and keeps out mouths busy.

Brown Sugar Pearl Tea Latte (P140) – A new product off-the-menu (yet), a.k.a. Yi Fang’s take on the usual Pearl Milk Tea, another best-seller. This drink does not dwell on the ordinary milk tea we normally have. The tapioca was cooked differently, resulting on a very heavy, thick syrup and the texture is astounding. Tea flavor is distinct and milk they used is not powdered. We have a new milk tea top choice now, and we’re sure it will stay on the top for a while.

Jinfeng Roselle Lemon Tea with Aiyu Jelly (P135) – Reminds us of Twinning’s Four Red Fruits Tea. It’s boosting with bold flavors, and the aroma is very enticing. Our first impression: “Can we just add alcohol in it?”. Lol. The blend is just perfect, even for cocktails. Haha. Btw, we got Aiyu Jelly in this drink too as an add-on. For everyone’s knowledge, Aiyu Jelly is made from the seeds of fig, extracted as a gel. It looks like a regular gelatin, but tastier and the flavor is all-natural.

Grass Jelly with Aiyu Jelly (P115) – A strange, smoky drink for us. We’re not aficionados of this drink so it tasted a bit bland among all the drinks we just had, but it’s not bad at all. We’ve tried Grass Jelly drinks sold in Korean grocery marts, this one’s definitely better.

Sugarcane Mountain Tea (P125) – Something new, something weird yet something pure and earthy. It’s like tasting nature at its finest state. We appreciate how this drink is still available in the market, as this is something our parents would brag that was really good during their time.
Yi Fang is conveniently located at Ayala Malls The 30th cinema level so for your next movie date, or just want to satisfy your next tea craving, grab a drink and enjoy a fresh new take on teas at Yi Fang.

#DateForTwo at Yi Fang

Servers were accommodating and explained the differences in their teas. I recommend the hundred flower honey mountain tea for something tasty.

After a just-okay dinner at Toast, we roamed around the mall in search of a dessert place we've never been to. We wanted something light, since we're quite full already. Srumbled upon this stall that sells Taiwan fruit teas, ao we gave it a try.

I had this Passion Fruit Green Tea (Php 100 - Medium) with Aiyu Jelly add-ons (+ Php 20). 😍 If you're a purist like me, you may request for 0% sugar for your tea. I actually prefer this over milk tea now! (Sign of aging, HUHU) The tea was of the right strength, and the paaaion fruit added an ample amount of sweetness that's not too overpowering. One thing I dislike about it though, is the seeds. I hate how I have to much through the seeds while enjoying my tea. 😭 Maybe they added it for aesthetic purposes, but it doesn't work for me.

V got their Yi Fang Signature Fruit Tea which had citrus notes, but equally good. 👌

Hope they get rid of the seeds! 😒 HAHAHA.

Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit tea offers healthy tea selections with different citrus fruits and fruit flavors. Originating from Taiwan, Yi Fang's healthy fruit drink has a different take on cold tea drinks. They infuse the drinks with real fruits and real passion fruit seeds making their drinks more refreshing. What I liked best in their drinks is that it's not too sweet nor too bland. It has just the right amount of balance.
