Mine Shine has been available in convenience stores way before the milk tea craze in the country. According to some, its taste is similar to Serenitea’s Hokkaido milk tea! For only Php 42, you can already enjoy 600 mL of premium milk tea.
Schlurp
Schlurp is the familiar milk tea in colorful bottles with a smiley. The downside of buying bottled milk teas is most times, they don’t come with pearls or jelly.

They’re one of the most popular bottled milk tea brands, available in wintermelon, earl grey, Assam black, caramel, and butterscotch.

If you’re planning to store milk tea (in large quantities) in your fridge, go for this Japanese milk tea brand. Kirin’s milk tea only has one flavor but they’re available in generous 500 mL and 1.5 L options.

Unif is another brand that offers premium Assam milk tea. Though it’s on the pricier side for bottled milk teas, you’re getting what you’re paying for. The tea leaves they use are picked from the Himalayan foothills mixed with premium milk from New Zealand.
