This Taiwanese brand is one of 2019’s most highly anticipated F&B offerings because duh, it’s bubble tea. But more importantly, it’s due to the distinctive fragrant flavour that sets Tiger Sugar apart from the rest. This is courtesy of the fresh milk and Taiwanese brown sugar used as the core ingredients.
