I really like bubble tea, especially the tapioca pearls (boba) in the refreshing milk tea. While shopping at Carolina Place, I spotted a bubble tea kiosk on the lower level near Macy's. Yessss!!! I had to stop here since I was thirsty and wanted something interesting to refresh.
The Jasmine Smoothie World & Tea kiosk offers several flavors of bubble tea including Thai Tea, Bobble Milk, Jasmine Tea, Chocolate, Magic Mocha, Coffee, Coconut, Taro, Strawberry, Mango, Honeydew, Papaya, Red Bean, and Almond. The prices (in 2010) are $3.65 (s), $4.15 (m), $4.95 (l). They also make several varieties of fruit smoothies as well.
I ordered a Coffee Bubble Tea, which had a refreshing sweet milky taste with a good coffee flavor, ice cubes towards the top and plenty of very firm tapioca pearls at the bottom of the cup. Sipping the tapioca pearls through the straw was fun! I give this place 4 stars for the good drink and quick service.
