| - Love love LOVE Rose Tea Cafe. The best dumplings and bobo tea in the 'burgh! I've been searching high and low for the perfect iced bobo tea and dumplings and Rose Tea comes the closest yet.
The tea:
Pros: REAL brewed black tea, consistently good bobo, good flavor, not too sweet.
Cons: A bit pricely ($3.50 for a small)
I'm a little bit obsessed with finding the perfect iced bobo tea. I look for 4 things:
1) Real brewed black tea
2) Properly cooked Bobo (firm, but not hard center)
3) Good flavoring
4) Balance (right amount of ice, Bobo, milk/tea)
1) Tea is consistently delicious.
2) Usually perfect- a bit firm in the center!
3) Liquid flavors
4) Good amount of ice, tea, milk (powdered), bobo. They use a shaker which really makes all the difference. Very consistent product!
The dumplings are SUPER fresh, with hand-made wrappers. Also, the portion is great for the price - 8 for $4.50!
My fiance and I got to Rose Tea a lot. The only major disappointments are the specials on the front of the menu, which are consistently bad. They also like to rush people out.
Highlights - Taiwanese chunk chicken, sauteed string beans, pan-fried noodles!
