Hey guys, welcome to part 2 of my boba series! Today, we're going to focus on milk teas. I can't wait; let's get started! 1. TP Tea First, I'd like to talk about the location, and not the actual tea. TP Tea is located in Cupertino, which is about a 30 minute drive - without traffic. However, there's always traffic. It's right in the middle of the bay area, for goodness' sake. So normally, it takes about double the time it takes to get there to go back home - over an hour. That being said, the only times I drink TP Tea is when I'm in the area, or when my parents are there (because my dad owns properties and he's usually traveling around to these cities for work) and they bring the drinks back to me. Oh, and I forgot to mention: on good days, you'll have to wait at least 30 minutes for your drink. They are really, really popular, and the customer line often wraps outside and around the store. But honestly, the milk tea is worth the wait. I love their classic black milk tea, and contrary to most other boba shops, they put more emphasis on their mini boba than on their regular size. In most places, I also don't like the oolong milk tea, but here, it's probably my favorite, and I like it better than the black milk tea, by a tad bit. Their teas are fresh and really strong, and definitely not watered down. Anyways, I could go on and on about how great this place is, but we have other places to talk about, and showcasing this store is making my mouth water for some of their boba. Let's move on. 2. Sharetea Sharetea is much, much closer to my house than TP Tea, only a five minute drive away, and it's definitely not a bad alternative. I'd say that out of this list, Sharetea in terms of flavor and quality is the most similar to TP Tea. They give plenty of the tapioca pearls in the drinks as well. The last time I got Sharetea was probably a month ago, but their teas are always on my mind. I think I'm going next weekend with some of my friends, so that'll be really fun! 3. Meet Fresh I mostly go to Meet Fresh for their yummy desserts, but their milk teas are excellent as well. It's sweetened perfectly, and the tea flavor is really strong. They also have so many different toppings, including taro balls, almond pudding, and jelly noodles. My dad recently bought about 200 dollars worth of gift cards for this store, because that's just how much we love going here. 4. Who's Tea Who's Tea is in my top 5 even though their milk tea is actually quite different in terms of flavor than the three other shops I have listed above. Their black milk tea almost has some sort of a nutty flavor to it. However, the tea is still quite tasty. Whenever I go there, I find that their sweetness levels are a bit less than the other shops, so I always get 100% sweetness here as opposed to 50-75% that I usually get. Who's Tea is a really cute place to hang out at because their logo consists of a mustache! This is in reference to their mustache teas, which means that the tea comes with foam, which after drinking will leave a foam mustache on the drinker! I personally have never tried them. However, my brother always gets the Black Mustache Milk Tea, and he tells me it tastes like chocolate flavored milk tea, and that it's really delicious. Fun fact: I tried getting a job at Who's Tea, and I even went to an interview for them. But they never contacted me back (LOL). 5. Milk and Honey Milk and Honey has one of the largest cup sizes I have ever seen offered at a boba shop. You have to add a dollar to get the largest size, but it honestly feels like double the regular. The above image shows just that. Their milk teas are pretty good as well. It's smooth and fresh.
Hope you all enjoyed the second part to these series! I love boba so much, so I absolutely had to blog about it. Happy Sunday!
