| - I have a hard time ranking bubble tea as I've never been into the entire BBT fad. However, I can tell a bad bubble tea from a good one. I consider a bad one that is full of powder and does not take anything like fruit and a good one should not have a powder taste, not too sugary, and if it is a fruit drink, it should actually taste like fruit. Wow, that sounds so self-explanatory.
I went to Chatime on a Friday afternoon, and it was not busy. I got the medium roasted milk tea with pearls and I paid just over $5 tax included.
It was good, but it didn't blow me away, but it was much better than Bubble Tease. I could taste the tea and the tapioca was nice and chewy. However, I don't see why people would stay in line for an hour for bubble tea. Maybe 15-20 minutes or so.
Verdict: I'd take my BBT friends here, but it wouldn't be for anyone who appreciates value as really, you are paying $5 for tea and some tapioaca.
