Ladies, we all know the drill—when it’s that time of the month, cold drinks (like bubble tea) are a no go, especially for those of us who suffer from menstrual cramps. But if you absolutely cannot resist and crave your favourite bubble tea drinks while on your period, we’ve got just the thing for you!

Yan Xi Tang is a unique bubble tea store in Singapore offering “Menstrual Bubble Tea” on their menu, a drink series that’s specially created for ladies to drink on their time of the month, meant to help ease and soothe menstrual cramps. The drinks are part of the brand’s (very aptly named) Redtide Relief Tea Series, each costing $5 per cup. Yan Xi Tang’s drinks are inspired by the Qing Dynasty, and this is apparent in the ingredients incorporated into their drinks, often with various health benefits.

The “Menstrual Bubble Tea” is available in a milk tea and non-milk ginger-based version; Menstrual Ginger Milk Tea ($5) and Menstrual Ginger Infusion ($5). Both options contain ingredients like red dates, goji berries, rose petals, ginger and red sugar; which altogether help to replenish the body’s iron levels and reduce inflammation. Naturally, as they’re meant for that time of the month, the Menstrual drinks are served hot or warm, not cold, but you still have the option to add pearls to the drink. Try them the next time you’re on your period at all Yan Xi Tang outlets in Singapore.
