Espresso & Matcha's Epicurean Quest - Melbourne: Yi Fang Tea


After breakfast we decided to walk back into the CBD from Fitzroy given the good weather. By the time we made it back, we were parched. Opting for another tea place which wasn't available in Brisbane, we tried Yi Fang, a popular Taiwanese chain which had just opened recently along Swanston street.


Again the shopfront was tiny, merely a small slot in the wall. Other than drinks, its hard to see that anything else could viably function in that area.


The menu was far more appealing to my taste, with a fair few traditional options. Prices are getting steep for bubble tea, but in this case we paid for quality. The enthusiasm of staff though, was enough to convince us to try more adventurous options. I'm glad we did. Word of warning though, when we went it was still cash only.


Took suprisingly long but our drinks were ready to go. Seating was  limited so we had to go elsewhere to enjoy it.

 

He had the Yakult Iced Tea whereas I had the Yifang Fruit Tea. I loved both for their perfect amount of sweetness. The fruit tea was packed with orange, passionfruit and pineapple. His yakult was crisp and tangy, but what I enjoyed most was the natural fragrance of their tea and how it wasn't overcome by the other ingredients. I hope they open in Brisbane soon!
