MANILA -- Milk tea is here to stay with one shop opening one after the other.
While it seems that if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, some concepts just have something different that separates them from the rest. One such shop is One Zo Tapioca, which has been getting rave reviews for its fresh flavored pearls.
One Zo got its name from its parent brand from Tainan, Taiwan.
“If you read the two Chinese characters, it’s basically pronounced 'one zuo.' So, it means the use of hands to create drinks and fresh pearls,” explained One Zo Tapioca's general manager Christopher Chua.

According to Chua, they first found out about One Zo on Insider, which had a story on the Vancouver branch. Shortly after, Chua and Unibev, the company that holds the One Zo Philippine franchise, met up with the owners in Taiwan that resulted in a partnership and the opening of their first branch.

The fresh pearls are the draw of OneZo. The pearls start out as a big batch of dough that is made in-store. Each store has its own machine for making and forming the popular sinkers.
When cooked, the pearls have a distinct mochi-like texture that are soft and chewy. This ability to make their own pearls gives the local operation the flexibility to make many flavors, some which are exclusively available in the Philippines.
Aside from the usual brown sugar pearls, One Zo shops have mango, strawberry, coffee, taro and matcha. The taro and matcha pearls are only available here in the Philippines. These pearls can be combined with One Zo’s fruit or milk teas.

Chua mentioned that other countries have exclusive flavors of their own like chrysanthemum and sesame pearls. There are plans for One Zo to offer these for a limited time to test if these unique flavors will appeal to the local milk tea drinkers.
One Zo Tapioca’s newest branch at 779-A Banawe Street in Quezon City opens on Saturday, November 30. For its opening promo, guests who buy any drink get one free medium milk tea.
