Chayu Tea Room茶語 — Restaurant in Sheffield

I have been twice now and loved it both times! If I was local I'd be visiting much more often! The drinks are so diverse and I love them! I personally hate popping boba and any juice drinks, it's just not for me, and I wish there were more variety for something like tapioca and more variety in milk teas, but this place nails it on the head! The owner is lovely and very creative with his drinks! I have tried the salted egg drink and the sweet potato taro boba drink! Both were delights, something unique and different, not overly sweet and right to my taste! My partner has gone for some of the sweeter drinks, blueberry matcha and the mango Chinese desert style one! She has loved it both times however did struggle for the majority of the mango one because as wonderful as a mango coconut tea is, she wasn't aware of all the fillings, if the fillings for some of the drinks could be displayed this would be incredibly helpful! The fillings are not bad on their own, it is just that due to preferences and issues with texture it made the drink unenjoyable past the initial third of the drink where she was mostly having mango and the tea. I would love to see this improvement the next time we come in, and I can't wait to try...

The matcha blueberry is really below average. I’m a matcha fan however this match just doesn’t go well for matcha drink despite being the first item in the matcha series. The blueberry is a puree where the sugar cannot be adjusted, so even without added sugar, it’s sweet enough. It was served as 2 layers, each on its own is fine but once u blend both together is just weird. There’s probably a reason good matcha drink always go with red bean :) The matcha also tasted like lower grade matcha.

This is a pure taste-based review and not on the shop itself. The...

Ordered a hand punch lychee lemon and added in some golden pearls (came with aiyu jelly and cherry blossom boba already) and it was very tasty. The pearls were perfectly cooked, which often I find isn't the case at other places. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Update many months later: Very much a regular here, Chayu is the no.1 place to go for bubble tea in Sheffield, especially if you want a place that actually cares about the tea and provides a more authentic drink. So much flavour in the drinks, nowhere else...
