Hands down my favorite Boba Tea place in Seattle. I ordered a Strawberry Oolong Tea, Peachy Skies, TK Milk Tea, and a Milk Tea pudding. The total is just over $30 but it was well worth it: they were all splendid and exceeded my expectations. Since I'm a Boba enthusiast, I adjusted the ice and sugar values and added complimentary toppings to all of them--they all turned out exactly I wanted for them (I've been to maybe hundreds of boba shops and getting what you requested is almost impossible).The oolong tea leaves were some of the best I had in the area, nothing too extreme while maintaining their original flavor and flagrance. The strawberry jam were also way much fresher than anywhere else--I think they are specifically made for this purpose. The peach used in Peachy Skies are both plump and chewy, it's as if they're picked straight from the orchards! The macchiato's consistency is perfect with the right amount of sweetness--it satisfies crave while not giving you a stomachache. The milk tea is like any other places', but it's boba really elevated the taste to a whole another level, they are cooked for at least 4 hours, maybe even more. I've already said this much but I must talk about the milk tea pudding, it encapsulated all milk tea flavor while maintaining a bouncy texture, the technique is hard to imitate--full props to them! (It was so delicious that I forgot to take a pic of it) PS. I forgot to take the Boba Tea Pudding along with me so I had to return back. Not only was the pudding kindly bestowed to me but the barista also apologized for not reminding me earlier--this is what...

The pearls were fantastic, with a Q texture that was both smooth and slightly sweet. To do this, the pearls must soak in brown sugar, a step that is often neglected by other retailers. The harmony of the matcha strawberry latte was lovely. The fresh pineapple in our blended cocktail was another rarity. The atmosphere was harmonious and invigorating. This is a fantastic establishment, and I will be returning soon. The newest, most cherished...
Read moreThe tea here is good, but the vibe is even better! I'm a stereotypical zillenial who likes my drinks to be as instagrammable as possible, and I can't help but praise this shop for having both great packaging and presentation. The lids aren't the standard punch-through to get your straw in, there is literally a cap on top of the lid. This is perfect for anyone who wants to save their tea for later or keep it in the car without spilling it all over the place! The shop staff gave me a call to let me know that my doordash order was ready so that I wasn't kept waiting. Sure, there isn't a huge selection but what they do have consists of high quality drinks and toppings. I ordered the brown sugar boba with grass jelly and it...
