Just as Pinoy milk tea lovers started to feel deprived of their fave drink, Serenitea dropped their DIY Milk Tea Home Kits and made us feel absolutely #blessed. Their kits are available in two flavours: Okinawa and Taro. To add to the ready-to-mix sachets, you can also choose your sinkers; options include pearls, pudding, and panna cotta!

Depending on your branch of choice, you may opt for store pick-up, fixed delivery, or delivery via third-party courier service. Serenitea’s DIY milk tea kits are also sold on Shopee and Lazada.
