Forgive me, for I have switched Bubble Tea allegiance! I was going strong with Green Grotto for several years, and now I have returned to the arms of Ten Ren's. I am a traitor, punish me if you must!
The last time I was at a Ten Ren's several years ago, I was treated to the misfortune of seeing tea diluted with water in front of my eyes.
I gave it another shot recently, and it seems like they have streamlined their processes across all stores to ensure the quality of the product is consistent.
As always, my go-to is Lychee Green Tea with Tapioca. I love the floral jasmine notes in the tea. It really makes the brew fresh, and light.
Also, they don't shake the tea here. Instead they pulse it in an industrial blender. I think I like it better this way, because the tea becomes extra foamy, and all the bubbles that surface to the top help release the perfume of the tea.
A winner in my books!
