A review by guest blogger, Pam See :)
Milktea is obviously a hot trend in the foodie community here in Manila, and adding to the growing collection of milk tea places is Sharetea. Hailing from Taiwan, this place also offers a variety of milk tea flavors- the classics, fruit based, yakult based, cream based, and even ice cream floats. You also get to adjust the level of sugar and the amount of ice according to your preference. The place doesn't offer side dishes aside from its drinks, but maybe because it's still in the soft opening stage. Let's see later on.

Since Cha is sick, I'm filling-in for her. :p Being a fan of taro, I decided to try that one out. Regular Taro Pearl Milk Tea, less ice, 50% sugar (Php 90). Evan ordered a Large Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea, no ice, 0% sugar, extra pudding (Php 100+15)

We both think that the tea wasn't strong enough, both tasted watery considering the fact that we have lessened the ice and the sweetness level. There was a generous amount of tapioca balls in our milk teas though, but I think those tapiocas were too rubbery in texture for my taste. I'm not sure how Sharetea will make itself stand apart from the rest of the milk tea places in the vicinity. It's not exactly the ideal hangout place as compared to Teatap, and you can pretty much get the same drinks in Serenitea which is only one street away. Oh but Sharetea do have the rocksalt cheese in its menu which really hyped up Happy Lemon before. Well, whatever the case may be, at least people have another milk tea place to choose upon.
Taste: 2/5

Yeah, i think it was a really bad move for them to be so close to TeaTap. When i first went to TeaTap, i was like "hmm..which should i go too?" but when i saw the prices of ShareTea being even more expensive than TeaTap, i didn't even have to think twice. TeaTap's tea is my absolute favorite and the place is just...you can't compare it to other tea places. And now that i know that ShareTea's teas suck...no need to even try it. I wonder how it'll survive. I also read in another review that the ShareTea in Taiwan also lacks in tea taste. And i absolutely hate watery or "malabnaw" tea.
