I have tried both, in fact 3 types namely ChaTime, GongCha and Taipei whaisit? Still go for ChaTime, GongCha is a bit bland

DEHP is used as the clouding agent used in powder flavourings and the 3 franchise ones use real tea ( you can see the tea canisters with the tap when they fill the cups ) as the base eg. red tea, black tea etc. Choose flavours that don't use powders like sour plum, jasmine tea, green tea etc and you are more assured. The new franchise has just started in Sungei Wang and it's called Taipei somethning, can't recall the full name. Later something will happen and dampens this trend as it usually happens once the fads get too popular.
