Vao Bei

«Vao Bei» is a tea house on Bratyev Vesninykh Boulevard, 2, in Moscow. The venue operates as a corner within the «Zilart.Eda» food mall, so it suits those strolling through the mall who want to grab a drink to go or have it at a shared table. The menu features what is now called bubble tea — popular Asian tea-based drinks. Here they make milk mixes with tapioca: the bubble balls add texture to the drink, while the milk softens the taste of the tea. There are matcha options for those who prefer more herbal, slightly bitter notes. A separate line is brewed tea with fruit notes: mango or lychee. These drinks turn out sweet and refreshing, without excessive sweetness. The corner format implies fast service: no need to look for a table and wait for your order — the drink is prepared right in front of you and can be taken to go, continuing your walk through the food mall or the boulevard. It suits both a short daytime break and grabbing something refreshing on the way.
