Tea panda 茶百道 has arrived in Washington state and this is its first store. This chain has over…read more9,000 stores around the world, mostly in China. To scale to that size you have to be efficient and tea panda is just that. The interior here is the definition of sterile industrial efficiency. There are some nice panda themed decorations, high top tables, and even free Wi-Fi. But there is zero seating and really no ambience. You order at a kiosk and workers efficiently assemble your drink on the assembly line. Under normal operations, they don't have to interact with customers at all. You come in, get your drink, and go. You could stick around, but you'll be standing at a high top table. The drinks use very high-quality ingredients and they taste pretty good. But a lot of Boba places have really good drinks nowadays so the competition is fierce. So it's another quiver of Boba to add to the arsenal and it might just come down to location and personal preference if you decide to come here over another nearby shop.

This lemon tea is absolute summer survival fuel! Just looking at the crystal-clear tea broth gets…read moreyou going. Take a sip, and the full-bodied lemon acidity instantly wakes up your taste buds. The tea base is light and crisp without a hint of astringency, striking the perfect balance between sweet and sour. You can taste the genuine, aromatic lemon freshness in every gulp--super refreshing and deeply satisfying. The history of Mascarpone dates back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries in the Lombardy region of Italy. Legend has it that its origin was quite accidental: a duke's chef was making dessert when he accidentally dripped lemon juice into boiling milk, causing it to curdle. Trying to salvage it, the chef drained the curdled whey, mixed in sugar and spices, and unexpectedly created a brand-new cheese with a velvety smooth texture. This became the predecessor of modern Mascarpone. This milk tea is essentially a gourmet dessert in a cup! Its soul lies in the towering cloud of whipped cream on top. Unlike standard whipped cream, this rich, velvety cap is infused with Mascarpone cheese, giving it an exceptionally luscious milk flavor and a silky texture that melts in your mouth without feeling heavy or overly sweet. The cocoa nibs sprinkled on top add a delightful layer of texture, while the smooth, aromatic milk tea below pairs the tea and dairy flavors in perfect harmony. While matcha is widely celebrated as a symbol of Japanese culture today, its roots actually trace back to China. Originating during the Sui and Tang dynasties, matcha reached its peak during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). The tea tradition back then involved grinding tea cakes into a fine powder, pouring boiling water over it, and whisking it vigorously with a bamboo whisk to build a thick, frothy foam--a ceremony known as Dian Cha. During the Song dynasty, the Japanese monk Eisai brought tea seeds, along with these processing and whisking methods, back to Japan. Over time, the practice took deep root, absorbed Zen philosophy, and evolved into the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Sadō) we know today. Thousands of years later, this vibrant green, ceremonial beverage remains a soothing sanctuary for the modern soul. This matcha drink executes "freshness" to absolute perfection. Crafted with premium matcha powder, it preserves that signature delicate bitterness and clean sweetness, skipping any harsh astringency in favor of a natural, grassy aroma. The real highlight is the perfectly rounded scoop of matcha ice cream on top. As it slowly melts into the matcha base, the creamy dairy notes seamlessly blend with the tea, transforming the texture from crisp and refreshing to rich and velvety smooth.

They had some hiccups during their opening, like tap to pay not working, but I was overall impressed with how quickly the staff could churn out drinks. I'm also excited that they have $4 base teas!

It was so clean and slick. The menu had milk tea, tea latte, flavored tea, pink salt cheese crema, alongside 10 different toppings. Sugar and ice level were customizable. I ordered the crema mango tea and the signature milk tea. The baristas were helpful. They took the ordered and prepared the drinks in few minutes. The mango crema was so delicious. The bobas were sweet, soft and chewy. I loved the flavor so much, finished the whole drink in 10 minutes.

I'd also like to note that unlike the other location this location does not carry hot plated food My all time favorite thing to eat here is the sesame croissant and matcha tiramisu. My favorite drink of choice is not on the menu but custom ordered. It's a matcha latte float but instead of a vanilla soft serve I replace it with a matcha soft serve. It costs a dollar more but way cheaper than if you ordered them separately. The service here is always fast and friendly and most of the time pretty clean. Weekday afternoons are best for no line. Weekends should be avoided as the line gets pretty ridiculous and super hard to find a place to sit.

Their black sesame drinks are delicious too! Food comes quick, service is polite but efficient and the dine in experience is sit and bus yourself. No frills but no problem!
