Bubble tea is becoming more and more popular in Luxembourg, with several shops opening last year. Discover Paperjam’s selection.

Fancy a sweet drink with tapioca pearls or coconut jelly? Bubble teas will quench your thirst in summer and warm your heart in winter. Where are the best bubble tea shops in Luxembourg? Our perfect composition? In summer (well, for the three-week period when it’s above 20 degrees), a cold jasmine tea without ice cubes, 100% sugar, coconut jelly, or in winter (from September to June), a hot black tea with brown sugar and tapioca pearls. Expect to pay €6.50 on average for a medium-sized drink.

Guo Cha Club

Located in the Ville Haute of the capital, this tea room offers bubble tea, as well as iced fruit teas such as the delicious Mango Green Tea or Brown Sugar Milk Tea. The latter is the most authentic of all the drink options and is reminiscent of Taiwan. There are Yakult drinks, very popular in China, and Cheesy Top (not quite to our taste). The selection is limited for the milk teas, but very wide for the fruit teas.

T. Zone Boba

Opposite the Guo Cha Club in Luxembourg City is another tea room that focuses on bubble teas. Special mention goes to the Rose green milk tea, whilst the variety of toppings is also a delight. Spacious and beautifully decorated, the place also serves Hong Kong waffles. And for those who like board games, there are a few available for a quick game between two bubble teas.
