    A new boba shop in Ann Arbor, with the owner making and mixing his own syrups for all his concoction? Yes please. We walked in on a rainy Sunday and was immediately greeted by the exceptionally friendly owner. As usual, we went in to try the black milk tea and branched off from there. Classic Black Milk Tea, 16oz, Less Sweet, Almond Milk w/ Boba ($6) - The owner told me that Sip uses a house made brown sugar mix to sweeten their milk teas rather than the typical fructose machine that most boba shops use. He didn't recommend reducing the sweetness, but I figured that it was easier to add more sweetener if I found it to not be sweet enough. Well, at the end of the day, it turns out that whatever ratio he used was just fine, creating a drink that is sweet without overwhelming the almond milk and black tea flavors. The drink overall is well balanced, with a bit of the tea fragrance and astringency coming through. I regret to say that the boba is on the hard side, with very little chew. Drink Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 2/5 Ube Milk, 16oz, Oat Milk ($6.25) - I went back to order a second drink after savoring the flavors of the first. The Ube Milk has a fantastically rich ube flavor which is fragrant, earthy, and delicious. The owner mentioned that he takes ube concentrate and infuses it with his house-made simple syrup. The ratio is perfect, so that the sweetness is an undercurrent to the drink and the ube flavor is front and center. (4/5) It is interesting to note that the cups have the sippy lid design, which are not normally used to accommodate the boba straw and is a departure from other boba places. While I wouldn't return to get boba as topping, I would try their other drinks. The offerings here are high quality and thoughtfully composed. Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the back. Overall rating of the drinks this visit: 3.5/5

    Sip has very quickly become a frequent go to! The shop has a cute minimal, but welcoming vibe and it's pretty spacious. The owner is super friendly and customer service is always great! The quality and flavor of their tea is impressive! I've gotten the plain iced jasmine tea and it was delicious. They make their own syrups and they always feel well balanced with the tea and milk. I do usually ask for half or less sweetness and that is perfect. Everything seems super customizable so you can't go wrong! The boba's texture was also perfect! I tend to like more classic milk tea drinks so I haven't ventured into their more creative menu items yet. I did try the supermoon milk my partner got and it was really good! Definitely a welcome addition to the growing boba-landscape in Ann Arbor!

    They have a lot of different drinks here -- I like that you can customize or choose from their premium drinks. The inside is pretty big and was great for chatting with friends. Our drinks were brought out pretty fast too. Super nice place!

    The coffee is great; they don't overfill the cup with ice, and the service is instant and kind. The ambiance is very chill and cozy.

It was a snowy afternoon so the customer volume was likely lower than usual at the shops of The Courtyard in Ann Arbor. The suite had a bright orange awning and about ten tables of various sizes for seating. Several power outlets were available along one wall for students to plug in their electronics and hang out because this business was across from a large college campus. Two self-service kiosks were at the counter where you could place an order. A menu board was hanging on the wall to the left for quick reference. Just drinks were served here as no food was offered. The categories were milk tea, fruit tea, slush, chocolate, yakult, macchiato, fresh milk, and tea. Six recommended choices with photos were listed at the top of the board. I selected the second one which was the Tropical Special. This drink was from the fruit tea category which was likely where I would have made a selection anyway. Passionfruit green tea with pearls and coconut jelly were the ingredients. I requested light ice and normal sweetness. The tea flavor wasn't strong, and the pearls were chewy and clumped together on the bottom of the cup. The jelly was extra filler that added more texture. The price was at least two dollars less than what I would have paid for a similar product at one of my local haunts. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my experience at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice.

The space is small and visually busy with lots of decor but they do offer a seating area. This boba place is located right as you enter through the restaurant side.

I decided to stop by again to give it a second chance since I was in the mall. Original Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.70) - Sweeting normally uses whole milk in their milk tea drinks, so it leaves a distinct dairy flavor vs. a more traditional creamer or milk powder construction. The black tea taste does come through, with a slight bitter astringency. The boba had a sticky and chewy exterior with a nice qq interior very reminiscent of a honey soaked boba. While it was on the slightly hard side throughout, the boba was greatly improved by whatever sugar syrup they use as a soak (I'm not certain it's honey but it certainly feels like it). Overall the drink was pretty good for a place that mostly prebrews their tea and is much improved over my previous trip. Sweeting has definitely made a good recovery from the Pandemic blues, and I would be glad to come back in the future.

    Wow this place was packed!! Locals must really like it…read more There was a long line for the ordering kiosks (there are 2 of them). And only 1 employee making all the drinks (she did a good job)! There is a good amount of seating inside with colorful decoration of pac man. I ordered the Mango Milk Tea with black tea and boba. It was reasonably priced at $5 something. The boba was chewy and milk tea with mango syrup was good! It was very refreshing on this 94 degree weather day! I would come back! Oh also, when I asked what kind of milk they use (for my fellow lactose sensitive peeps), she said Creamer. Not sure if it's non-dairy creamer but it sat well in my stomach thankfully!

    Refreshing cold drink for a hot day! It was my first time at Tea Ninja (we really got a lot of boba…read moreoptions in Ann Arbor over the past several years!) so I ordered a go to - Taro milk tea. It's easy to order on a kiosk, and they do all the customizations (ice, sugar level, toppings). I got a medium iced Taro milk tea, 30% sweet, regular ice, add lychee jelly. It was good! Hit the spot. The level of sweetness and ice was just right. Lychee jelly was the perfect amount of chewy. The flavor of the tea was good, and actually tasted like tea. I didn't ask, but given the tea taste, I'm thinking this taro has caffeine (at other places, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). I didn't get much of the taro flavor coming through though.

Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed when I came in. There's a tea bar area, the loose leaf tea wall, pastries and other desserts, swag, a tasting area, and apparently it was trivia night tonight. I experienced all of this in just the first minute or two of entering. And it was packed! I really appreciate the time taken to explain the shop to me and walk me through many of the teas. Although they were busy, I didn't feel rushed (there were 2-3 people working the registers) and it felt very personal chatting. I was able to smell a bunch, and could really tell the differences in them. I ended up getting 3 50g bags and 2 sample bags, plus some stickers and pins. Really excited to try these out. Their range goes from darker to lighter, and they have a wide variety of black, green, rooibos, and herbal teas/blends.

They are selling really cute tea ornaments and they have other things like tea pots and cards with funny phrases like "It was you Oolong." They don't have a physical menu because the flavors constantly change. You can look online but for the most part, have to stand behind the counter in diff areas to see alll the flavors! I spotted Almond Milk Tea and she let me smell it and I was sold! It smelled wonderful! When it was actually brewed, it was ok though. It doesn't really have milk in it either :0p My MIL got the Hisbiscus (a tad too sour) and my husband got the Japanese Cherry green tea (that was good and has a mild flavor if you like that sort of thing). They have signs on the table that there is no Wifi because they encourage unplugged conversations and connections.
