    Mango Sago
    Jason U.

    Stopped by Rui Tea and decided to try their Mango Sago drink since it looked refreshing and was one of their popular options. Overall, it was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. The mango flavor was there but felt a bit artificial and bland, and the sago pearls were slightly uneven in texture. The presentation was nice and the drink looked appealing, but the overall taste didn't quite hit the mark compared to other mango-based drinks I've had elsewhere. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself was clean and bright, and service was friendly and quick, so no complaints there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're nearby and craving something fruity, it's worth trying once, but for the price and taste, there are probably better mango drinks around.

    Overall: F // 1 star HeyTea, but worse, and available in Jersey City, was my old opinion. Their mango drinks just have a worse command in picking sourcing ripe and sweet mangoes of the right softness; there is more filling in their drink that makes it more like a meal and less like a drink; and the slush is noticeably more icy and unrefined. On top of this, I stopped going a few months ago because one of the staff members dropped a huge stack of cups onto the ground, and then proceeded to restack them as if these are perfectly clean to use for the next drink. Incoming health hazard, thank you. Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: -2 Menu: E Overall: 1 star Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    The fruit tea here are fantastic! REAL fruit not one of those low quality powder chemicals. If you are into quality fruit tea this is the place!

    Black Grape Cheese 芝芝黑提

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute storefront![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love how Rui Tea uses fresh fruits and has many non dairy options. I ordered the Black Grape Cheese, and it was very delicious and light! The service was extremely quick as well. Will definitely come back to try their other flavors!

    Got a peach drink here - it was okay. The customer service was bad. My friend was trying to ask questions about drink options and the man working behind the counter just dismissed her and told her to use the kiosk to order. My friend had already checked the kiosk but the option to order a specific drink was not available. She tried to get his attention again but but he ignored her. The other friend I was with was actually trying to order a drink they had on the physical menu but did not show in the kiosk but again, he was just told to use the kiosk and that everything is there in a dismissive tone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If i had not ordered a drink already I would have just left. It would be understandable if they were extremely busy but there were only 2 other customers in the store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sparkling Orange Espresso (New)
    Alexis R.

    This sparkling orange espresso drink is unreal. Amazingly delicious, perfect for summer and the espresso tastes incredible with the orange juice and sparkling magic that they make it with. I'm addicted! The self ordering tablets made the experience really easy. Service took a couple minutes but it was worth it. Will be back for sure.

    Super Fruit and Thai Iced Tea
    Carina L.

    Stumbled upon this place after exploring another part of downtown Jersey City. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cutesy and set up as a grab and go storefront.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the Thai iced tea and super fruit tea which were both very refreshing and amazing. They do let you adjust the sugar levels (I wish more places allowed this). You order on the kiosks they have set up but the turnaround time was quick. Check it out!

    Mango Bobo
    Rajeev L.

    Came to this place based on the reviews and I liked it. The man behind the counter was helpful in explaining their menu of drinks. I went with the special mango bobo and was very happy with the fresh mango chunks and the boba. It was a light, refreshing drink on a hot summer evening, which was exactly what I was craving! I will be back for more.

    Thai tea
    Gianna S.

    I was less than impressed with the tea shop in downtown Jersey City. It is more of a grab-and-go storefront as it is very long and narrow. There are a few chairs in the far corner, but most of the shop is dominated by the counter. They have self-service kiosks and do allow you to customize the amount of ice in your drink, but not the amount of sugar level. The crystal boba was cut into small cubes rather than round so it was not as easy to drink through the straw. I did like how the lids were the re-sealable kind. I got the Thai iced tea ($6.25) and was surprised at how small the regular/medium size order was. It is much smaller than the sizes in other shops in the area. About 20 minutes later, some sort of thin oily layer had begun to separate on the top of the drink. I've never had this happen before with bubble tea so am not sure if it was a problem with an ingredient gone bad or the mixing process or what it was.

    Cheese foam Mango Sago
    Jenny H.

    So after a wonderful dinner I was looking for something sweet but not heavy. I found this place and immediately love the menu. All drink ingredients are fresh fruit or housemade with little syrup or powder stuff. Fresh taro & purple yam mixture for milk tea?!? Come on!! Upon entry, I noted that the place was clean and bright. Little quaint, tucked away around the corner of Provost Street. Immediately I was undecided due to too many choices I love. We were greeted immediately by the cashier/barista. She was helpful to answer our questions since it was our first time there. Since my friend never had real taro or purple yam, the cashier were generous and gave her tasting of both ingredients. She preferred people yam... Taro all the way for me. Lol I end up ordering the cheese foam mango sago (tapioca, not boba) slush with 70% sugar. In the mood for fruity. So.... Perfect amount of sugar with the savory from the cheese foam. Nice sips with bits of mango, sago, with the lightly tang foam all swirl in my mouth. Highly recommended. The place is small but since it's Monday night we were able to sit at a little booth table & high chairs and hung for about an hour. It's a take out/to go place but they also have outdoor seating that would be great on a warm afternoon. When I'm in Jersey City again, I'll make sure to stop by this place again for quality Asian bubble drink. Definitely going to have the taro milk with Boba next time. In also asking the staff team to consider an alternative milk just for indiviually like me... Maybe almond or soy? Come support this small business. Love them!

    Peach Bobo (New)
    Marisa M.

    The watermelon slush is so good! I watched them mash up the watermelon on the spot. It's just the right amount of sweetness. I added boba in it of course. I want to try all their other slushes now!

The result is a drink with warm boba at the bottom and cool milk and ice at the top in addition to your flavors of choice. I had the brown sugar boba with oat milk, and I liked it. To make it non-dairy, I skipped the cream on top, so my drink looked a little different than the pictures, yet it was still yummy. The indoor tables are standing only which works well given the busy area. The staff is cordial and somewhat aloof but it works because the customers are literally watching them make the drinks which is a very fascinating process. The aesthetics of the store are minimal but still stylish. Most decor is white and black with pops of red here and there as the accent color, and everything is clean. No restroom unfortunately but that's common in this busy area. I would highly recommend visiting this store for the delicious drinks and the ambiance.

I'm not a Brown Sugar Bubble Tea person, but their boba is honestly really yummy + has the perfect texture! I prefer fruit teas + so my go-tos are the Jasmine Green Tea or their Chrysanthemum Tea with Honey Jelly. The jelly adds a fun texture, while also adding sweetness, so keep that in mind. We also tried their new Dalgona Coffee Boba Milk Tea, which brought me back to COVID days where whipped coffee was trending - sweet bev! Love that XFT has been holding it down since COVID, as plenty of other boba shops have had to close in the area. Overall, a decent spot to grab a refreshing milk or fruit tea!

They're usually passing out free samples, which was what caught our eye! On this day, they were handing out their Osmanthus Oolong Tea with Mango.

In hindsight, I should've added a topping to give the drink a little something extra, but I still enjoyed my bev a lot, nonetheless. Everything is one size. While their bevs are on the pricier side (+$1.50 for toppings!!), their quality makes up for it. We waited ~15 min for our drink, as they freshly brew the tea as well, providing the authentic flavor. You can tell that they craft their drinks with care, which is what makes this place deserving of their Michelin Guide status! Would have come back to try something else!

Lately, we've been going three days in a row, and every visit reminds us why we love this place so much. They offer a huge variety of flavors, and everything we've tried has been amazing. Our favorites so far: Strawberry Matcha Latte Passion Fruit Jasmine Green Tea Classic Jasmine Green Tea Bubble Milk Tea We always load up on toppings, and the tapioca balls are perfect--chewy, fresh, and totally addictive. The staff is super friendly and helpful. On one visit, the gentleman who helped us accidentally forgot the tapioca balls, but he apologized sincerely, and the next staff member went above and beyond to make it right with extra toppings and great service. That kind of care really makes a difference. We're planning to keep coming back all summer to try even more flavors. After two years, it still feels like a treat every time. If you're a bubble tea lover, Dragon Tea is a must-visit. Hands down one of the best in the city!

The juice and tea was very refreshing and definitely cooled me down (albeit briefly) from the relentless heat. And I enjoyed the boba and fresh passion fruit seeds as well. Given the boba was an added topping, I would have liked to have seen more boba added. However, they did add in some pieces of lychee which was a nice touch.

Alongside these rotating creations, the café still serves the signature menu that has made HeyTea one of the most recognizable premium tea brands. The modern interior and fast-paced atmosphere fit perfectly with its Midtown location, making it an easy stop while exploring the area. During my visit, I tried both the Matcha 3.6 and the White 3.6. The Matcha 3.6 was the clear favorite, with a rich, creamy texture and a smooth matcha flavor that felt well balanced without being overly bitter. It had the high-quality tea taste that HeyTea is known for and was satisfying from start to finish. The White 3.6, on the other hand, didn't stand out as much for me. While it was still well made and used quality ingredients, the flavor felt a bit flatter and didn't leave the same impression as the matcha. That ultimately came down to personal preference rather than execution. One thing that continues to impress me about HeyTea is the consistency of its drinks. Even when a particular flavor isn't my favorite, the quality of the ingredients and preparation is noticeable. The Times Square location is especially worth visiting if you're interested in trying drinks that may not be available at other stores through the rotating HeyTea Lab menu. Overall, this is a great stop for anyone who already enjoys HeyTea or wants to explore some of the brand's more experimental offerings. The Matcha 3.6 is one I'd happily order again, and the unique HeyTea Lab concept makes this location feel a little more special than a standard tea shop.

Ordering was interesting, as the place is busy, however I didn't put my order in until 20 minutes waiting and mind you no one was in front of me. They had a menu for the tealab itself and I ended up getting the Oolong 3.6. It uses a special oolong tea they source from Taiwan and pair it with a rich whole fat milk. There are some other very photogenic drinks out there, but I couldn't figure out what those drinks were. Next time! THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the solo drink set me back around $10, but it gave me a nice caffeine rush to continue on the day.
