Wang Cha - The Future of Tea Magdeburg — Restaurant in Magdeburg

Terrible 🤢🤢🤢 tastes so artificial. This is supposed to be a matcha foam pearl milk tea. Tastes nothing like matcha with a fake pale green colour. They also only accept cash and everyone knows that means dodging tax. Never again.

UPDATE In response to the owner's reply: This is the Matcha Swirl, number 9 of your Top 12 drinks. It also says "Matcha Milchtee + schwarz Tapioka + Milchschaum". You mentioned many other bubble tea stores that don't accept card payment. Actually, I can name you plenty other ones that do, whether franchise stores or independent: Chatime (Köln), Naicha, Loop Tea, Ding Tea (München). I'm from Munich so those are the ones I'm familiar with. I travel a lot due to business so every city I go to, I would always check out the bubble tea stores in that area. And trust me, those that don't accept card payment, they lose out on many potential customers. This day and age, not accepting card payment is a massive inconvenience for the customers. Also, the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic, card payment is actually highly recommended so that you don't pass on any germs from cash handling. Any stores that only accept cash payment is a massive red-flag for tax evasion and everyone knows that. Finally, these stores do not get my business for obvious reasons because I and many other customers don't support illegal businesses (dodging tax) 🙄 Actually, the visa or Mastercard fee is not that high. It varies from 0.2%-2% per transaction. So 2% of your 4,6€ drink is only 0,092 cent. You can just put this amount on top of the 4,6€, if you are claiming that "there is nothing left" for you. I'm sure no one would bat an eye or even notice the difference. However, I very much doubt that claim. In a standard bubble tea cup, there are the three standard ingredients: milk, milk powder and Tapioca pearls. Even using high quality ingredients, anyone without a business degree could tell you it costs peanuts to produce a bubble tea cup and the profit margin is very high. Sure, you would have your expenditure and other costs, but your claim of "there is nothing left for us" is highly false.

In conclusion: I will avoid Wang Cha in the future and DO NOT recommend anyone...

I first got to know Wang Cha in Berlin. I was surprised there is also one in Magdeburg. This one is a bit smaller than the one I've visited, but it is still nicely decorated, calm, and good to enjoy some tea.

There are lots of options of tea. I like their bubble tea drinks. They also offer many different sugarcane juices, which are their signature drinks. Maybe I will give it a try if I am ready for...

I didn’t have my expectation so high but it was really good! Had wang cha no. 5 and didn’t order less sugar (as I usually do because some places make it super sweet that I could stop eating sugar for a whole month and it still wouldn’t make up) but it was not THAT sweet. I mean it is somewhat sweet but it’s acceptable (for me). As an asian myself and someone who’s obsessed with bubble tea, I’d...
