Co-founded in September 2022 by Adrian N. and Tim T., the bubble tea brand prides itself on promoting the rich cultural history of Hong Kong-style milk tea to younger generations, while infusing their drinks with a modern twist.
Currently, Silk.’s menu features 16 creative beverages that span from crushable teas paired with fresh fruits to dessert-like concoctions piled high with toppings. At the heart of the menu is the brand’s signature Smooth King. Brewed with traditional techniques, this drink features a rich milk tea base that uses a 50-year-old family recipe developed by Adrian’s aunt. Paired with brown sugar boba, crisp honeycomb made in-store, and a decadent cheese cloud topping, this masterpiece serves as the ultimate reflection of Silk.'s identity – deeply rooted in traditional Hong Kong tea culture, yet completely reimagined for the modern sweet tooth.
Beyond its core menu, Silk. keeps things exciting by offering location-exclusive items. For example, the brand’s Times Square location previously collaborated with traditional food shop Min Fong Hong to create a bespoke pistachio mochi topped with honeycomb bits.
