I remember years ago when I had my first BBT, those tapioca pearls with milk tea were good! As with anything, you have to constantly create new flavours and new packaging to keep people coming back. One thing is for sure, whatever they are putting in those drinks have my fellow Asian population hooked!!! So many new stores and so many new drinks that I have to up my insulin - ugh.
Today is iTea One. They are located inside the twin finger towers at 4750 Yonge Street. The finger towers are two tall green condos with curved penthouses. The bottom of the building are shops and offices. There is even an LCBO inside the place. iTea One is on the west side.
Walk into the little shop that stands in the center of the pathway. Fresh citrus and other fruits are present - always a nice thing to see. Two friendly shop owners greeted us and asked for our order.
I was looking forward to their New Double Roasted Milk Tea. My kid, who just polished off a Johnny's Banquet Burger with Fries and Gravy, eyed himself a Pearl Strawberry Latte. You would think he looked like his old man but nope...fitter than the proverbial fiddle! Oh to be less than 2 decades old again! LOL!
The Milk Tea was good. I had it with regular ice and less sugar. You can really taste the double roasted tea. The other drink looked like a strawberry shortcake blended and put back into a cup. Layers of flavours. It was so good that the kid finished it off before we even left the parking area.
All in all, a good experience. Good service, good product, but the location is more geared to the walking customer, as parking can be a pain. I was able to parked on Beecroft, north of Poyntz. Costs 50cents for 15mins before 4pm or it's tow truck time! Walked into the nearest door from there - it is the closest to the food centre.
