    They use real taro root for their signature taro milk tea and it's slightly grainy but delicious and not overly sweet. I usually dislike taro but the real stuff is awesome!

    Fresh-brewed iced tea with freshly prepared flavorings. Awesome little milk tea shop! Try the taro milk tea, it's delicious and made with actual taro root.

    Finally a decent bubble tea shop in the neighborhood! They use real tea leaves to make their teas. My fav is their Jasmine Green tea with half and half milk and tapioca. Simple and delicious!

    Hands down the BEST tea shop around. They take best practices from Taiwanese tea making and add their own unique twist. Try the Oolong with Signature cream and Cocoa Oolong with Signature cream!

    The ingredients are so fresh here! I recommend the taro tea, homemade grass jelly, and their matcha-strawberry drink.

    Try the oolong milk tea with half & half! Also tried the hibiscus peach tea but that was slightly too sweet for me.

    Taro shake was interesting. It was thick and made out of real taro which I really appreciate. I had the lychee green tea and it made my mouth super dry, but in the end was nice.

    I repeat. Signature taro, and now the strawberry matcha with boba. Their bubbles are the best I've had in the city. Top notch tapioca!

    Oolong w/ organic milk is awesome! Super fragrant even with the added milk, can definitely taste the premium quality in the tea leaves. Kudos!

    Taro is great, and so are the non-milk bubble teas. If you're looking for a healthier option for bubble tea, you've found it here.

    Roasted oolong tea has a great toasted note which offsets the sweetness - delicious hot or cold :-)
