It was my first time walking around Lexington Market when I found this bubble tea shop. The unique menu and layered tea drinks caught my attention so I had to give it a try.
When I went up to the counter I had a lot of questions about the drinks. My cashier was knowledgeable, and broke down the contents of each beverage.
I decided to order Dream of Butterfly. Butterfly pea tea, layered on top of lemonade, passion fruit juice and some strawberry bubbles. I also ordered a Purple Love which is a Taro Milk Tea with regular boba.
Taste Test:
The Taro Milk Tea was creamy not to sweet with just the right of taro flavor. On a hot day this creamy delight has the same satisfying feeling as an ice cream cone. I will definitely order it again. The boba here is the AMAZING! It's a fresh, slightly warm boba with a light chewiness that melts in your mouth. Delicious!
Next up: Dream of Butterfly Tea. So there are 2 ways you can drink this beverage... you can sip layer by layer or shake it up. I tried each layer before I mixed the layers. Each layer is nice on its own but together, it's truly refreshing! It's a balanced drink with a surprise of strawberry bubbles every other sip. I can see this one becoming a best seller.
Overall, if you are visiting Lexington Market and order food from a vendor... get a beverage from KOKEE TEA! read more
