I was driving by when I saw their sign for Boba Tea -- I knew I had to go in. My love affair with milk teas and tapioca pearls will never end. Morgan hit the nail on the head when she said they have few flavors. I was surprised to see that there are less than 15 flavors on their menu. What made it worse is that they don't have almond. How can any Asian place NOT have almond flavor?
I moved on and ordered the Taro milk tea with pearls. For those that have never tasted Taro, it tastes quite a bit like pecan. After I paid, I received my purple drink and ran out the door like a child with a new toy. As I took my first sip, I was a bit shocked due to the sweetness. Wow! That was a lot of sugar.
My next trip, I ordered the honeydew at the suggestion of the associate behind the counter. I told her that I wanted it less sweet. She said she only put in a drop of the sugar compared to what they normally put in. Amazing how the sugar can mask the flavor of the milk tea. While I enjoyed the honeydew, it wasn't a flavor that I would crave.
On my third trip, I ordered the taro again and this time had them put in only a drop of sugar. It was SO much better. While I will never crave the taro, it will definitely help quell my need for milk teas. Talking to the owner, I learned that the remaining flavors she carries are the flavors that actually sell in the area. I wonder if she would order the almond or pineapple flavors for me if I paid for them?
