Have moved to the UK for some time, have always been missing authentic Hong Kong style drinks (which are not bubble teas!) especially iced (lemon) tea, stopped by Leicester by chance and saw the good reviews of this place, gave a try and it was surprisingly good! For iced tea the tea base is always the key and this place manages it very well: the taste of the tea has textures, especially a little bit of bitterness which is exactly how the Hong Kong taste. The staff were nice and efficient. Will definitely revisit!
