You order on a big screen at the front (there are two) and just wait for your number to be called. I got the mango pineapple jasmine tea with bubbles, half sweet and it was pretty standard.

Fresh off a trip to Taipei, we were craving the fresh boba XFT is known for. After drinking…read moreXingFuTang boba in Taipei for $3 for two drinks, we made the rookie error of walking into this location with the same expectations. We watched staff carry the boba from the back and drop it into the aesthetic bowl up front. Spoiler: aesthetic does not equal fresh. It tasted like instant boba -- the kind you make at home from a kit. For $18, that's not a vibe. The tea was decent, but we came for those chewy, fresh-made pearls, and this location simply did not deliver. If you've never had the real thing in Taipei, you might not notice. But if you have? Save your $18.

Very similar to Molly tea, I first tried Chayan in Vancouver, BC so I was thrilled when I learned…read morethat Chayan opened so close to where I work. I've tried a good amount of their menu, and will occasionally get the seasonal items like peach. Though I always revisit my favorites, which are the da hong pao tea frappe, the jasmine green milk tea, and the matcha green tea varieties. If you get the frappe, they top the whip cream to serve. Wait time can vary but generally it's about 5-10 mins to get your drink. There are some tables and seating but most people tend to grab n go.

I was pretty excited to try Chayan as another potential spot that genuinely focuses on high quality…read moretea. Definitely the same vibe as Molly Tea, but with a broader menu of drink options. I opted for the Da Hong Pao Tea Frappe and the tea wasn't quite as fragrant as I wanted it to be. I'd say it's middle of the road quality wise, aka a tier or two below Chicha and about the same as Don't Yell At Me. As with other boba spots, it's possible that some drinks are better than others, so maybe take a look at what the regulars are ordering. Vibe wise, the store wasn't too crowded early afternoon on a Saturday. Only 2-3 folks lined up to order on the iPad and seats were nearly full, but not quite. Vibes great, tea not bad.

I came across this TP Tea store in Seattle Chinatown, my first time trying their drinks. This store…read morewas spectacular inside, with high ceilings, modern furnishings and sitting space. 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.

You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks but my all time favorites are the tieguanyin oolong milk tea with toppings and the strawberry milk tea, which I believe they have now rebranded to strawberry smoothie. Sugar is adjustable which is great because I love my drinks less sweet. I got the strawberry smoothie and bff milk tea this time, which I believe is black milk tea with egg pudding and grass jelly, and I added egg pudding. So delicious and creamy, and the smoothie does not give off an artificial fruit taste. One thing that was off-putting to me was the signage indicating their kiosk. The makeshift, handwritten message to turn around and use the kiosk seems passive aggressive and gives off the message that the workers do not want to talk to you. Other than that, we got our drinks pretty fast since it wasn't busy near closing, which was when I went.

I was very pleased with the Iced Blueberry Pie Latte since I was a little worried I wouldn't like it. The customer service was great, yet again!

Refreshing beverage in Seattle, Washington…read more.. We were walking around when we saw this boba shop near the Large Gate at the entrance to Chinatown. My niece suggested that we see if this place was actually Seattle Best Tea. The interior was crowded, so we thought that it must be a popular place. There were people standing in line and a small group sitting in the back of the shop. Service was efficient and polite. I was told that wintermelon tea cannot be served hot. That's ok... I can drink it with less ice on a chilly, cloudy afternoon. Since toppings were free, I got rainbow jelly. Yay! Thank you! We'll be back if we're in the area again!

They had a lot of tea options, so we had to make sure we're getting the right one. My gf is obsessed with milk tea, and been on the hunt for the phoenix oolong. So far this is the only place she's been able to find in Seattle that sells it. I ordered the Rock milk tea, and it had a strong tea flavor and a good dark aroma. It's exactly the way I like my milk tea! I feel this place to be authentic with their tea leaves, and they seem to be really knowledgeable about their menu. So if you're really specific with your tea flavors, or just want to try something different than your usual black or green tea, then I recommend this.

Luckily everyone was patient and can clearly see he was working hard, and he did let us know that it might take a while. He was a hard worker. The boba place is very tea forward with a variety of options. There were a handful of drinks that had an interesting name, such as, Iron Buddha, but I wish there was a description of what the drink was. I didn't want to ask too many questions given the growing line. I don't think any of the drinks included toppings, so that's an additional charge. I guess it's been a while since I had boba cause the average price was $7-8 without any toppings! The drink was great and tasted delicious, but the operation itself can be better.

Tea quality is always top notch and even when there's a massive line, they manager to churn out their drinks within 15 - 20 minutes. My quick tip is if you see a large line in the mall, just order online and swing by 10 - 15 minutes. If you're not sure what to order, grab an oolong or black tea with cream. If you're looking for something without caffeine, the Organic Milk w/ Taro Ball and Paste is absolutely delicious with earthy taro flavor and the toppings were still warm with the cold milk. Seasonal Pineapple Snowy is also literally a Taiwanese pineapple cake in drink form. How did they get crunchies into the drink? Honestly, you can't really go wrong here and when I am craving boba, this is just ol' reliable.

Highly recommend if you're in Bellevue and want something different from the usual bubble tea spots!
