| - All hail the best Bubble Tea Shop in Toronto!
It blows my mind that this place is only rated a 3.5/5. Where's the love Yelpers?
Let me say that I've been drinking Bubble Tea for a long time, and engaged in a quest to find the best in the city. I've had drinks from Ten Rens, Tea Shop 168, Chatime, Destiny's, and Go For Tea to name a few, and each of these places pale in comparison to the quality of Green Grotto.
My go-to drink is always the Lychee Green Tea with Tapioca. You can really tell if a Bubble Tea place is good by the aroma of the tea once it's been shaken. Firstly, a layer of foam consisting of microscopic bubbles should form on top of the drink. Second, a floral aroma should permeate throughout. Green Grotto has got these 2 components down!
Their tea is the best tea I've had anywhere. I think it has a lot to do with the quality of the leaves they purchase, and the method they use to steep them.
I also love that they use both small and big tapioca in their drinks. Textural contrast people! So fun to drink. I hate when you go to certain places and the tapioca is mushy. These are super springy, and just perfect.
The owners are from Taiwan, the home of Bubble Tea. May be that's the reason it's so good! I will return every week for my regular order :D
