Last Wednesday, I had the chance to visit SIP tea shop at the 3rd floor of Farmer?s Cubao. If you will observe closely, you?ll notice that it?s not just an average tea store you visit everyday. Let?s discover things the store offers:
SIP Tea
SIP is the only tea shop in the Philippines that use ultra premium tea leaves i.e. full leaf pekoe leaves, particularly the orange pekoe. These leaves are found in India and China. It is sweet and a bit floral , but even so, it still has body enough to stand up different milk tea flavors, making it the best kinds of leaves you can use for making milk teas. Another thing, SIP also uses teas that are classified TGFOP.

The Preparation:
Preparing your tea drink is not that easy. SIP makes it a point to give you the service and beverage you deserve. Instead of brewing, they steep the teas.
Brewing uses high temperatures of water (210-220 degrees). In other words, it burns the tea, making it bitter and carcinogenic, thus giving you cancer.
Steeping, on the other hand, only uses 180 degrees or less (depending on the tea). It dips the tea leaves in the hot water for a long period of time to release the flavor, aroma, and antioxidants into the water therefore producing a very good tasting tea.
Did I say that they only use natural flavorings instead of alcohol based flavoring and powders that can ruin the awesomeness of the tea? 
Things To Nibble:
Honeycomb waffle, Fried Siomai, Chicken Chop, Veggie Spring Rolls, Shrimp Crackers
Aside from beverages, here are some of the snacks you can nibble while sipping in on your SIP milk tea:
- Honeycomb Waffle (P80)
- Fried Siomai
- Chicken Chops (P85)
- Veggie Spring Rolls, 3 pcs (P75)
