When we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, we sample at least two dozen boba tea places before settling on one with the right combination of tea flavor, milk-tea balance, and especially the boba. Too much milk and you can’t taste the tea, too little and it’s, well, not milk tea. The boba must be a little sweet and chewy, but not mushy. We found a favorite, but then we moved to Utah. After trying a few boba shops in Salt Lake County, including a couple in Chinatown, Ding Tea was at the top of the list, and it fully matches our California favorite, which was a Happy Lemon shop. We found that not all Happy Lemons were as good, and the same is true for Ding Teas. We haven’t discovered any Ding Teas better than the South Jordan location.

I love boba enough that I can have it in any form. Then as we are driving away in our car, my friend takes a sip of her brown sugar and was like hey I think this is Taro! Sure enough it was Taro😅🤣 Again, we love boba enough that we were like it's okay lets go home! But paying almost 15 dollars for all wrong order doesn't seem right 🥲 Staff are all super friendly and this place is definitely worth trying. Hopefully this wont...
