So this was a pretty random trip after friends and I visited the Pawn Stars pawn shop (History Channel show) in Vegas. We felt like having boba tea, so we went to the chinatown area.
Tea Station is more of a tea house than any tea shop i've been to; they serve all types of leaf/loose teas and sell alot of their own tea leaves to take home. We had:
Shaved ice: good
Boba Milk Tea: REALLY GOOD. Best boba I've had! QQ, as they would say in Taiwanese; perfectly chewy and al dente. Most places make them either too hard, or overcook them/leave them out too long and they get mushy. Tea Station's boba was really QQ and had great flavor; in Taiwan after they cook the boba, they'll mix it with some brown sugar and sometimes honey; they definitely did that here too and it was sooo good!
Mango Black Tea: Pretty good, but a little too sweet.
I'm actually a little bummed that the boba was so good, knowing that I won't be able to have such good boba until I go back to Vegas or Taiwan. Boba tea in LA didn't even compare. Sigh... And of all places to find great boba...
