In hindsight, their Brown Sugar Boba Milk with Cheese Brûlée (Php 120/Php 140) might strike as a regular brown sugar milk tea, but it is unlike those since the handful of boba taking refuge at the bottom is made with 100% original tapioca.

Their tapioca is both gluten and nut-free, while the brown sugar glazing the drink is produced through organic molasses that prevent tooth decay and improve stress-resistance.

Similarly, the Purple Yam Pearl Milk with Custard Pudding (Php 130/Php 150) is made of completely organic purple yam.

Aside from being at the market’s forefront where health is the top priority, Alishan at the Alley also ensures that they are able to bring Taiwanese artistry through their milk teas.

They base their beverages in the most sought-after tea in Taiwan namely “Alishan Tea” or the “Champagne of Tea.”
