TIGER SUGAR — Restaurant in Aurora

VILE!!!!

Me and my two friends got the number seven and the five on your menu at 8pm on 9/10. I was a little concerned watching the two girls working at the counter make our drinks by pouring something from an overly full, UNCOVERED pitcher they pulled out from under the counter with some milk before sealing it and passing it over. I was a little put off, but oh my god— the freshness was the least of my worries.

The first drink we got was the number five, and it was fine at first but about three sips in, there was something that just tasted weird and my friend felt like her stomach was going to turn if she drank anymore of it. The aftertaste was bizarre.

Then there was the taro. Absolutely abhorrent. Positively putrid. I cannot understate how utterly, irredeemably repulsive what I drank was. It was like drinking liquidized sandpaper. It was grainy and chunky. What I thought was boba was a ball of something dry and powdery with a crunchy texture to it? And before anyone asks—YES, I shook the cup. I stirred it with the straw. I even took a sip of my boyfriend’s (who got the same thing) after he shook it like a can of spray paint, and it was equally— if not, MORE disgusting than mine. It genuinely nauseated me from the texture alone. I was picking pieces of god knows what out of my teeth while we drove to your nearest competitor to find something edible to wash the taste out of my mouth. $23 for something I wouldn’t give to my worst enemy is outrageous. Disappointed is a gross understatement.

The staff I interacted with seemed kind enough, but I’m embarrassed for them for what they had to serve me.

To anyone looking for an alternative, RareTea isn’t too far away. The taro milk tea I found there was like a little slice of heaven after this...

As a loyal customer since Tiger Sugar started its business, I have to say that the Tiger Sugar in Denver is way way below any humanitarian standard and I'm very disappointed, sad, and outraged because of the staffs' unprofessional operation and rude service. It took them about 5 minutes or more to prepare a single drink (not my own waiting time, just my observation of the time they cost on every drink). The lady used an electronic weight to adjust the amount of boba she would put in my drink, and she weighted and added the boba SIX TIMES! Everytime she added 3 pellets then 3 pellets more. Is the price of boba materials (simply tapioca flour) so expensive right now that you have to add my boba one by one? Amazing. The Black lady educated me that fullfilling the cup with ice is their ''standard'' and could not be adjusted. Ok, let me educate this lovely Black lady: your ice is more than TWICE of every single Tiger Sugar I visited in the United States.

A quick note to the brand owner: either close your Denver branch or dismiss all the staffs there if you don't want your business burning down some day. A quick note to bubble tea lovers in Denver: run away! It's not the authentic Tiger Sugar in any dimension from product to...

Stopped back a couple of additional times and it struck me that the taste of their signature boba drink is like Chocolate Milk in case you're wondering. So if you like that flavor then this is the place for you. They also recommend flipping it 15 times (there's a little sign) so amending that from my original 10 below.

Tiger Sugar is a popular chain and I'm glad to see a location open up in the area. They serve a different type of boba tea - with the focus being on the actual boba and the kind of caramel/sugar syrup that comes in the drink.

You need to really mix up the drink by rotating it upside down quite a few times (like 10?) before inserting the straw. Otherwise the syrup won't really be mixed. The boba is pretty soft and chewy and they can adjust the sweetness level of your drink. You can also order it with lactose free milk or milk alternatives.

You won't go too wrong by trying out their signature #1 drink. Give them a try for something a...
