Be still my heart. I think I've finally found a tea house that can join the ranks of Brew Tea and Tea Space. Also, this place gets extra brownie points BECAUSE IT IS IN THE SOUTHWEST!! I no longer need to make the long drive out to Chinatown/Rainbow for good boba.
It is located in the Apache Plaza, the same place as Makai Pacific Island Grill and Sweet Addiction. Parking is super easy. There is outdoor patio seating as well as indoor seating. They even have a little lounge area with leather chairs! All in all, the decor and atmosphere of the place is very modern and clean.
I got the Rose Garden, which is basically lychee green tea with rose petals and lemon slices. I thought the rose petals were unnecessary, and the amount of petal in the picture did not equate to the amount I got in my drink. But you know what, I'm not mad because the rest of the drink was so on point. It's a delicious blend of lychee green tea and refreshing lemon. I have never thought of this combo before, and I am so hooked. It is so surprisingly refreshing. I love it so much!
I can't attest to the boba because I felt like aloe would be a better accompaniment to my drink. But don't worry, we will test the boba soon. And it helps that toppings are free with check in. YAY!
Their drinks are pricey, but the good thing is that they're basically large sizes (as compared to all the other tea places around here). So I guess it works out. AND CHECK IN ON YELP FOR THE FREE TOPPING. That saves you 50 cents. You're welcome.
I can't wait to come back.
Also, I'm getting major Tastea vibes (and TASTEA IS LIFE) from their drink. AND I AM LOVING ITTTTTTTT.
