Description
The drinks are brewed daily from whole leaf tea, anchoring a menu that spans classic milk tea to strawberry, taro, and brown sugar options. While the physical space is simple and quite limited, the appeal is in the details. You can finish your drink with chewy tapioca pearls or coconut jelly, or look out for seasonal specials like their holiday gingerbread bottles. The tapioca pearls earn consistent praise for texture, though not everyone cares for the foam-topped options.
