Molly is a new kid on the burgeoning specialty tea scene block that is Burwood Road. The Chinese chain, founded in Shenzen in 2020, is recognisable for its pastel pink aesthetic, strong jasmine tea fragrance, and high-tech automated brewing equipment. Touch screens make ordering easy, explaining unexpectedly delicious blends such as the floral and refreshing “pistachio jasmine coco” (green tea with coconut water and pistachio cream-cheese foam).

Good to know: Molly has developed its own signature straw, three tiny tubes fused together, for better sipping.
