Chi Cha San Chen ( 吃茶三千 ) is a world renowned bubble tea shop…read more From California to New York to Taipei to Toronto, this shop's unique tea has proven itself to be top notch in the culinary world. Moreover they have been winning international taste awards for their outstanding products. I tried a milk based tea made with their famous the Dong Ding Oolong tea (凍頂烏龍). Dong-Ding Oolong Tea with Fresh milk was smooth tasting, sweet and creamy. Delicious. Whereas the Formosa Fruit Tea (寶島經典水果茶) was a black tea base packed with teeny pineapple bits, a bit of passion fruit seeds, paper thin slices of apples and citrus. Their offerings are plentiful, with both classic or seasonal teas on their menu. Worth a visit.

Immediately when I walked in I felt like I was in a cave. It was beautiful and cozy - just the way I like it. Service is always on point here, and their tea quality is always high. They steep their teas to order and with precision. Got their seasonal fruity tea and it was delicious. I usually opt for their signature milk tea but it was nice to switch it up to something refreshing and fruity once in a while. Check this location out, as it has a more magical touch than the others.

The staff was friendly and tried to help me solve an issue with their online ordering app. My favourite drink is the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte for a rich, creamy matcha drink. Parking might be an issue as there are not that many parking spots and will need to wait for a spot during peak dinner times and on the weekend. Also, there are no seats inside so its not the best place to hang out with friends and people usually cluster outside to enjoy the drinks.

We tried two of their best sellers: the Mango Sago with Tea Jelly and the Fresh Grapefruit Iced Tea with Aloe. Both were incredibly refreshing, but the Mango Sago was the standout for me: creamy, fruity, and perfectly balanced with the chewy tea jelly. The Grapefruit Iced Tea was also light and crisp, with aloe adding a nice texture, though I found myself leaning more toward the richness of the mango drink. It's clear that this shop puts effort into using fresh ingredients, and it pays off in flavour. Just a heads-up though, the space is very limited with only a few spots to sit, so it's best suited for grab-and-go. It's not the kind of place to lounge around, but perfect if you're in the area and looking for a quick, refreshing drink, especially if you're into fruit-forward teas. Service was quick and friendly. With so many options around, this one still manages to carve out a niche for itself. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Midland/Finch area!

My new favorite bubble tea chain in Toronto now…read more We went to the Midland location. I ordered the Strawberry milk tea and my wife got the 3Q TP Milk Tea. Living in small town USA, I am definitely not used to this fancy or "elevated" bubble tea. The Strawberry milk tea almost drank like a smoothie than a milk tea, but it was just what I was looking for. Rich, sweet and slightly sour...it was the perfect after dinner dessert drink. My wife's 3Q was more of a classic milk tea, with 3 different types of toppings (boba, coffee jelly and noodle jelly). The different textures made the drink quite enjoyable as well. I will definitely be back.

Tip: This place is on Fantuan…read more I felt bad for my Fantuan app. I hadn't exercised any purchase on it for months. I finally opened it up to browse deals on Saturday evening. I was in Scarborough. I felt like a drink. I saw that a regular phoenix oolong lemon tea was $3 off on Fantuan at Jo's Cha. Yes! I decided to upgrade to a large. I got this drink with less sugar and less ice, as I wasn't sure how tart the lemon part of this drink would be. I also added coconut jelly. The app said that it would take twenty minutes for my drink to be made. I arrived at this plaza at around 8 pm. It was busy around the eateries. Luckily, I found parking next to Jo's Cha. My drink was ready much sooner than anticipated. It took ten minutes. I got out of my vehicle and headed inside the store. I liked the cheerful mascot. There were a few people waiting for their orders. There isn't a dedicated place to pick up your order. I waited patiently at the order area. A nice man behind the counter said hi. I reciprocated and showed him my Fantuan order. He nodded. My drink was in front of both of us. He asked me if I needed a bag. I declined, as I was going to drink it as I drove home. I thanked him and headed to my car. This drink was so good. I love oolong tea. The less sugar was perfect because there were a lot of lemon wedges floating at the top of my drink. The coconut jelly was in cubes and not all that sweet. It was refreshing, cold, and exactly what I needed. This place is known for mixing veggies with fruit. I'll need to try it next time and see how I feel. I'm not big on bitter melon, so you won't see me with any drink with that veggie. I loved my first experience here. I'll be back! (347)

Tip: This bubble tea place is on Fantuan…read more On Tuesday night, I had picked up dinner from He Bei Chinese Cuisine, which is at Skycity Shopping Centre. Since I was at a plaza with so many bubble tea joints that I can't keep track of them, I decided to select one that I haven't been to. It would be an easy feat. Moge Tee was a few doors down. Perfect! I walked in. I got the nicest welcome from a man behind the counter. I looked at the menu and the fresh peach oolong tea sounded great. He let me know that there are three types of peach oolong tea: - One has milk - One has cheese foam on top - One is the tea itself I wanted the last one. I went with 30% sugar because I wanted a change. I also went large. I didn't look at the menu long enough to choose toppings. I just wanted a drink. That's okay. Next time! I paid with a credit card. I also gave a tip because he was so great explaining the variants of this tea. With tax and without my tip, this drink came out to $8.42. It better be good! I looked at all the sticky notes on the wall. It reminded me of Cha Miao in Richmond Hill that has a similar setup. I will say that parking is more relaxed here. My drink was ready in no time. I was so happy. He gave me my drink and a straw. I thanked him and happily walked out of the store with my drink and dinner. I carefully placed everything in my car. I then drove home. The peach oolong tea was excellent. 30% sugar was barely noticeable. It was chilled. I loved the peach flavour that tasted like enjoying a ripe peach. I could taste the oolong tea. It was so good. Moge Tee has a membership program. I'll need to look into it. I'm a fan. I will be back. (61)

I tried their very popular creme brulee milk tea with light sugar and I'll tell you to not order it with light sugar - it doesn't taste that good without the regular level of sweetness. The creme brulee on the top was a thick layer of torched cream that went smoothly with the drink. The staff were nice here and they have a few chairs if you want to sit and have your drink inside. I love how they have their menu is displayed as a giant tissue roll - very creative!

We both got creme brulee black milk tea with gold pearl. They had a promo buy one get second half off which is awesome! The drink was quite creamy, love the creme brulee. The layout of the store doesn't seem like it's for people to hang out as there aren't chairs or tables but that was okay. Overall not bad, will definitely be back to try out their other drinks if there is a promo again.

The cashier seemed to speak limited english but she was very attentive. I ordered the taro mochi latte and it was very thick. The coconut mochi was really tasty and the taro was nice, creamy and thick. The tea was very light though and I mostly just tasted the milk. The sago was ok. Most of the drinks come in the large size by default. The herbal lemon tea had a strong lemon flavour and then herbal aftertaste. I think it's good to drink if you want to relax as my boyfriend who drank it got sleepy after. I ordered a total of 5 drinks and it came out to $42, which is pretty good! I definitely recommend this place and am looking forward to going again to try different stuff on their menu.

The toppings are fresh, and they even have a little take-out window you can order through. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. I tried the signature grass jelly milk tea, and it was amazing. I'm a sucker for lots of toppings and this order came with a whole assortment, including grass jelly, coconut(?) jelly, clear tapioca, red bean, and less commonly found peanuts and raisins. They tasted good individually, and together, they provide a mix of textures and flavors that makes it fun to eat. The tapioca was extra chewy, I wish there were a few more in there. The milk tea itself is light and refreshing. I will definitely be back to try more of their drinks.

The staff asked if we've been before and we told that we had not. He offered us a sample of their darling lemon tea and it was quite good. The Oreo puff cream matcha milk tea peaked my interested and I went with that. He let us know that he'd bring the drinks over when they were ready. I've never been to a bubble tea place that brings your oder over to your table, that's good service and a good way to differentiate yourself from your competition. In the photo the drink looked super thick to me but that was not the case. It was definitely tea consistency and not milkshake like. I could taste the Oreo cookie bits in the drink which was nice but they got soggy after a while. There's portable battery charging packs that you can borrow. There is a refundable deposit you need to put down first though. If you're looking for wifi it's complimentary. Perhaps next time I go I'll try the food as well and a new drink.

After dinner across the way, my friends and I were craving our usual bubbletea so we were heading…read moretowards coco when we noticed a new place next door. Stopping to see the menu, we agreed we'd try something new for once and I'm glad we did. HiTea has a great ambiance (I believe they used to be Latea Era) and the staff is super friendly. Above all, the drinks were a hit with all 3 of us. I decided to try their March special - Oreo Puff Cream Milk Tea, friends ordered the Darling Lemon Tea and the HiTea Signature Fruit Tea. We all were in agreement the the teas were delicious and we enjoyed our little table to chat and hang out. The Oreo Puff Cream was delicious though I couldn't taste much tea flavour (I like my teas a little stronger). I did however enjoy that the drink itself wasn't overly sweet as I asked the Bobarista what sugar level she recommended for less sweetness. It was served as per their usual level and it was great. My friends both enjoyed their drinks as the lemon shone through and the tea itself was tasty and refreshing. The HiTea Signature Fruit Tea came in a jumbo cup with lots of fresh fruit that we enjoyed. The tea flavour definitely shone through in those drinks. Overall, I think this might be a new hangout spot for us with the delicious drinks so far and the cozy atmosphere. They also sell snack foods in case you're feeling a little peckish. I'd be interested in trying those along with their other bubbletea offerings. I will note that the prices here are a little higher than say Chatime or Coco but I owe that up to the fresh looseleaf teas, and the more premium cups and environment.
