PlayMade Drinks, Rated: Honey Green Tea Takes It

The scores

Honey Green Tea, 9/10. The best thing on the menu, and it hits differently with the pink cactus pearls. If you order one drink here, this is the one.

Chrysanthemum Milk Tea, 8/10. We do not usually like milk teas and we liked this. Chrysanthemum is doing something the standard black tea base cannot, and it is lighter than it sounds.

Taiwan Milk Tea, 7/10. Solid. They also do an SG Milk Tea and we honestly could not tell the two apart, which says something about one of them.

Pink Cactus Smoothie, 5/10. Bandung, but a smoothie, and more expensive. Nice colour. That is the review.

Strawberry Matcha, 3/10. Not the worst thing anyone has done to matcha, but there are better options in Singapore and PlayMade is not where you should be spending a matcha craving. Our matcha tier list has the places that actually get it right.

What PlayMade is actually for

The pearls. That is the brand, that is why the cups are worth the money, and it is why the fruit-flavoured pearls are worth paying the top-up for even on a drink you would otherwise skip.

Which is also why Strawberry Matcha lands where it does. A matcha specialist builds the drink around the tea. PlayMade builds it around the texture, and matcha is the one flavour that does not survive being a supporting act.
