Chanced upon their free tasting earlier today and boy am I glad! I love it! I had their green tea crema and it was great! Their salty milk foam was a pleasant surprise, it was a bit salty, but not too overwhelming, along with the creamy and smooth milk foam, it was a perfect match. I have had the tea crema in the Sharetea on Yonge and was very disappointed! Their milk foam had little chunks of...i don't know what...in it. I'm not sure if their milk has gone bad? or if they didn't mix it well enough? or what...but their standard has gone down a bit also.
My husband had their mango green tea and boy, was he pleased to find out that it actually had a bit of mango chunks in it! It's hard to find a decent pearl tea place now that actually serves decent legit teas. I'm glad to say that this new place gets a thumb up from both my hubby and I. My hubby usually complains about everything!
This new place popped up just in time. I was at Chatime on Friday and I was so disappointed with my drink. Its not how it used to be when they first opened. I didn't taste any tea nor milk in my milk tea. Feel like i was just drink sugared milky liquid. I wasn't even able to finish my drink...and I'm usually not the type of person that would throw away food...especially food that I paid for, so for me not finishing my drink says a lot about how their quality control has gone down. Is it that hard for companies to keep their standards now-a-days?!
And the sharetea at first markham was a total joke! No tea flavor whatsoever!!! It actually puzzles me how one sharetea location can be completely different from the others. I have always thought there is a certain formula they must follow... But apparently, I am very wrong. Le sigh.....
Coming from California and frequently visit Asia, I have pretty high standards for my pearl tea and noticed that the pearl tea joints in the GTA is not too great. Lets hope this sharetea location keeps up with their standard in the long run.
OH! Since this place is not officially opened yet, they are having free tasting this Friday Apr 10, to Sunday Apr 12 from 12pm til 8pm. All drinks are free of charge.
