| - Today was the first time I sat down a table. I like how there was no wait when I went (~9:30pm). However, the line did start building up around 11pm, but soon died down afterwards.
I ordered the ginseng oolong milk tea while my partner ordered the black sugar milk tea with egg pudding. I was a bit disappointed with both our orders. My oolong tea was rich, but that's all I tasted. I have had ginseng tea before, so I expected some aroma or a tiniest bit of ginseng to the drink. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any. One thing I did really appreciate was the fact that they put my sugar on the side. I was able to control how sweet I wanted my tea - as opposed to having sugar overdose.
My partners black sugar milk tea with pudding was a special on the menu. It was actually very very sweet. But when you have it with the pudding, the sweetness is toned down. It was a little too sweet for me and him, so we decided to mix our drinks in our tea cups. It was an excellent idea, because my tea was not as sweet, so putting them together was the perfect combination. Otherwise, we didn't taste anything special with his drink.
The one thing I really love about tenren (at least at this location), is the decor. It's very beautiful and gives a twist to the traditional asian decor set in tea shops. I also love how all the hot teas came in tea pots and cup set. They also have a semi-store inside the shop where you can purchase tea leaves, tea sets, and other products. Very cute. As for customer service, they were very prompt to taking our requests. However, I agree with other comments in terms of the cost. It is set pretty high. I would probably return, but not too often.
