She said : “ There is nothing quite like Paeonia in the whole of the UK . Originating in Taiwan in the 1980s , the last few years have seen an increasing amount of bubble tea shops open in the UK , with 2020 in particular seeing a boom in popularity .
“ What makes Paeonia different is that all of our bubble tea is made using a Teapresso Machine imported from Taiwan – the first UK shop to use this piece of equipment .
“ Unlike other bubble tea shops , every bubble tea at Paeonia is made to order , ensuring better flavour , freshness and taste . We brew hundreds of cups of tea every day and I taste each and every batch myself . If it ’ s not good enough , I reject it and we start again . I want everything to be perfect , so our customers only taste the very best .”
Bubble tea is a tea-based drink served cold , hot or iced with chewy tapioca pearls providing an addictive mix of textures . The house favourites are the fluffy cheese crème brulee with tapioca pearls and fluffy dirty mess - milk tea with brown sugar pearls , fluffy cream cheese and Oreo crumbles - but you can choose from a multitude of fruit and milk flavours .
Simply choose your tea , your ice level , the amount of sweetness and then your toppings , with hundreds of combinations to choose from .
You can also expect limited-edition flavours alongside rotating seasonal specials and the option to make tea with a variety of plant-based milks , including oat , coconut , almond and soya , with all popping balls and jellies being plant-based , making Paeonia vegan-friendly .
Attention to detail is key in the design of Paeonia , which has a five-star hygiene rating , and each space will follow in the high-end footprint of the Windsor store .
A stone ’ s throw from Windsor Castle , no compromise has been made on the interior design , with its pink and green theme , luxe floral decoration and chic lighting creating an up-market space which is already proving popular with Instagrammers .
