Gong Cha is celebrating the Mid-Autumn season with a new dessert beverage.
In a cup.
That’s right – this week bubble tea lovers will be able to enjoy a somewhat different kind of beverage at Gong Cha, which combines the traditional Tang Yuan (rice balls) dessert with bubble tea ingredients in a cup.
