This TP Tea location is the OG of its kind in the South Bay. Located in the Pacific Rim Plaza near Walgreens, Joy Dumpling, etc. The parking can be challenging during peak hours as this strip mall has some popular restaurants, etc. Cozy interior with house music playing. They do offer a few tables outside but mostly inside seating. House music is blasting as is the A/C. One kiosk to and cashier to order from. One unisex restroom/storeroom. Yuzu Emerald Fruit Tea: with Yuzuco 100% Premium Yuzu Juice from Japan (added tea jelly). Support your local business.
Very yummy! I ordered a strawberry lychee smoothie with boba and lychee jellies. It is and was so very delicious! You can taste the strawberry and the lychee! So delicious! We also ordered a mango boba milk tea and it was yummy too! The third tea was a passion green tea with boba and it was super delicious! The service was quick for being super busy! The ambiance is very nice to sit in and enjoy a delicious tea! Wonderful place I'll be back soon!
Summary * Takeout * Skewers stayed crispy * Good service (ordered at restaurant) Food * Pork neck * Chicken gizzard * Beef skewers * Mantou Pork neck was my favorite. Chicken gizzard isnt my usual jam. Beef was good tho pork neck had a balance of meat and fat.
They have the best tie guan yin milk tea here!! It is my go-to! The tea quality is so strong and yummy. Not too sweet with less sugar.
Placed an order ahead of time online, and the drink was ready to pick up literally as I pulled into parking space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Prices are still reasonable. Got the YGF family milk tea which is Tie Guanyin Oolong with the 3 toppings - and it just HIT so hard. Give it a try!
This TP Tea location was conveniently right next to where we had dinner. Loved the drinks here it was so delicious. Easy ordering through the kiosk. Drinks came out quickly. There were some nice small tables to hang out at inside. The tea flavor here is really good. I got 25% sweetness and it was perfect. My friends all really liked their drinks as well. Always love a good stop into TP Tea.
My friends and I decided to check out this place because we heard about the new Lychee drinks. I got the Velvet Lychee Fresh Milk Tea, 50% sweet, less ice, and with boba. The drink was ready in about 7 minutes. I'm typically not a fan of fruit milk teas because they tend to separate and not taste quite as cohesive as I would like, but I loved this drink! The milk tea struck a perfect balance of tea, milk, and lychee flavor. The boba was perfectly soft chewy, the milk tea was smooth, and the drink had a light sweetness to it. It was a Thursday evening, and there were quite a few people were there for the bogo deal. There are a few tables for seating, but most people were doing grab and go orders anyways. They had one kiosk for ordering. They had a restroom in the back which we had to ask the staff for access. This location is located in a plaza, so there was plenty of parking! I'm not sure if these drinks are here for a limited time only, but I definitely would come back again for this drink!
People keep saying TP Tea is good, but I did not have this experience. We came to this plaza with another lunch plan but saw the tea shop was open so we went in. It was before 11:30am and apparently they were not ready to open. So they told us not to order on the kiosk, not in a nice tone. Then we waited outside, the waitress came out and closed the door without saying a word. Rather rude in the whole encountering. Nevertheless, we went back after lunch for milk tea. It's the regular milk tea with boba. I found their tea too milky and lacking the tea flavor, the boba is also smaller than other places, making it hard to chew even though they were cooked softly and chewy. The place was clean with comfortable and stylish seating arrangements, but most people came for a take out order. The music was Chinese pop songs, not too bad. All matcha were not available. The only good impression is the price is relatively reasonable compared to some tea places, but still in the $6+ range.
15% sweet is perfect for Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea. I always order this one no boba on door dash or when i use snack pass to order ahead. I dont think the wait is too bad if u drop in and order depending on the day and time. Overall solid milk tea.
Still one of my favorite, go to milk tea chains from Taiwan. I have been going here consistently since they opened in 2018, always opt for the Winter Melon Tea Latte here when Im in the mood for something a bit sweet no adjustments. When I want something a bit less sweet, I always get their Tie Guan Yin Latte 80% sweet and less ice. Overall if you like your milk tea creamy and tea forward tasting, this is your place. I recommend ordering on snackpass to avoid the long lines as this spot is always busy , not a lot of space to sit inside, and you can get points towards a free drink. ** Also fun fact I learned from my recent trip to Taipei, TP Tea is a chain opened up by another chain in Taiwan called Chun Shui Tang, known as the creator of bubble tea!**
Taro milk 2/5 - this was not good.. we got 75% sweet and there was no flavor. Just tasted like milk. Two stars only because they use real taro but the taro doesn't mix with the milk. Would've been better if they blended the taro into the milk.
I got their Mango Tea Latte with Boba ($7.50) and their Strawberry Milk Tea with boba ($7.50). Boba per drink was an additional $0.75. Mango drink was a 3.5/5 stars. The mango flavor was nice but the overall drink was average. The strawberry drink was better, a 4/5 stars as the smoothie texture and flavor was nicely done. The white sofas inside were nice and comfortable and some Halloween decorations were up. There is only one kiosk and the customer ahead of me took an incredibly long time to choose her order so my wait time during this visit was incredibly long because the drinks came out very slow as well.

Finally got to try their famous tie guan yin latte and it was really great! I heard it's a hit or miss for most people since the tea is on the bitter side. But this drink was not bitter at all. It was creamy and felt pretty light. I really wanna try their milk tea version cause I think it'd be way creamier. Their boba is almost like mini boba but slightly bigger. Their strawberry milk tea was another fav. It's slightly blended with ice so it's very cold n refreshing. There wasn't a long line for the drinks but the drinks took almost 30 min to come out, assuming they had online drink orders too! So just be prepared to wait for a while.

Went here around 9:30pm on a weekday night. There was no line. I ordered their pearl milk tea and passion fruit green tea. Both were top notch. I could taste the tea as well as the milk/fruit flavors. The boba was good (not the best I've had). Prices are in line with other shops (which is still $$$). I would go back if in the area and at times when the line is short. read more

Been here three times since the grand opening, so I guess you can say I'm somewhat addicted to their Tie Guan Yin Tea Latte with mini boba. That being said, I felt like their quality has kinda slipped since the opening week. Went yesterday and the Tie Guan Yin Tea Latte is kinda plain and diluted. The cashier ask if I want the regular boba or the mini boba with my latte, but according to the menu it should have just came with the mini boba so I'm not sure why she asked. Anyways, I got the regular boba which is flavorless and hard to chew. I finish the drink and threw away all the boba. If I was to rate them at my first visit I would probably given the 5 stars but then with each visit something always seems to be slacking or not meeting expectations. Maybe they are overwhelmed with the business cause there's always long line to the door but that's no excuse. Hopefully they can provide more training and get things back to where it should be. Cause I really want this business to last so I can order my Tie Guan Yin Tea Latte. read more

TP tea is one of my favorite boba place in the Bay Area, good tea flavor and good boba, just like the ones I had in TW. When I can't visit TW, this place will comfort my milk tea stomach so well. read more

This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Chun Shui Tang, the Taiwanese store that INVENTED bubble tea, has opened its first US location under the name TP Tea! We came here at around 3:30pm and waited in a 20 minute line. I got the Tie Guan Yin latte with boba and QQ noodles, and it was soooo good. I'd never had QQ noodles before and I almost liked them better than boba. For me, they're a little softer with a more toasted rice kind of flavor. If you ask they'll let you try the noodles before you order them! We also got the Green Tea with boba. It's rare to find Tie Guan Yin as a menu option, so I was super psyched! Both drinks had unbelievable tea flavor, just as I was hoping. The line is SO worth it! read more
Heard so many of my friends rave about this place! Decided to check it out on a sunny Friday afternoon at 3pm. It's located inside a plaza so tons of free parking. There was a short line at the register however for pickup there were a lot of people waiting. They were backed up because they're also doing doordash delivery. Seems like they prioritize doordash because I had to wait for my drinks for 30 minutes. I got the tie guan yin latte with boba 80% sweetness. It was good but not worth waiting 30 minutes for it LOL. My boyfriend enjoyed his lemon premium green tea & my brother thought his passion fruit green tea was good as well. Customer service is decent, all staffs were wearing face mask at all times. There's sticker marking on the floor for social distancing. I would come back and give them another try if I'm in the area. However if there's a long line I wouldn't be waiting because there are just way better boba shops in San Jose. P.s they do not accept American Express read more

TP Tea is a good milk tea place in South Bay when compared to others such as Quickly's and Sharetea which tend to use powders. I think the taste of the tea is good. Very potent tea flavor is their TieGuan Yin (Iron Buddha Oolong). The Milk Tea has a good taste of the black tea flavor which isn't masked by the sugar. Few cons: The pearls are not true mini boba. They are more medium size... not sure why they are advertising it as pearls when they aren't. Line takes super long on the weekends. Still 50嵐 and CoCo are way better than TP Tea which you can find in Socal. (50嵐 is Wushiland/Ootea in California) read more

Yeah~my favorite taiwan boba brand finally open at Bay Area. The tie guan yin milk tea is my top drink at this store, the tea doesn't taste bitter as other milk tea store, it is smooth and full of special tea fragrances. I will recommend no need to adjust the sweet level, they make it just perfect ratio to serve. Anyways~ppl who live at Cupertino is so lucky. I have to drive 30 mins from my house to get drink it is worthy. read more
My boyfriend's favorite milk tea spot and it's definitely up there for me too! He says it's one of the most authentic he's had in the Bay Area and always gets the tiegyuan yin milk tea. I've enjoyed both the strawberry milk tea and the jasmine green milk tea which they've added to the menu since last went. I used to think the menu was a bit limited but they've expanded it recently which I'm happy about! I think they have a great balance of tea and milk. I got 75% sweetness and 30% ice and it was perfect for me. Looking forward to trying the mango cheese creama tea next time! read more

I visited TP Tea for the first time today. My friends and I came in around 12:20 which was soon after the shop opened for the day. My two friends and I ordered with no wait but a few minutes after the place got busy. The store is small and has a modern look. The cashier I had was pleasant. I had the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea at 30 percent sweet with less ice and pineapple jelly. The drink had the perfect level of sweetness and the good quality of the tea was evident. The pineapple jelly was delicious and complemented the tea well. The drink was made quickly too. Overall, TP Tea receives 5 stars because service, store interior, and tea were all high level. read more

When asked "what is your favorite boba place" I will always say TPTea. This has been my go-to boba place for years since my time in college and now that I live closer than before, I have frequented this place quite often. Every drink on the menu is 10/10, but my all time favorite drinks is Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba (I would drive 45 minutes and back just for this). read more
One of my friends told me this place was exceptionally good, and another friend (the first friend's twin sister) told me this place was nothing special, so I had to go check it out for myself. The verdict? Pretty good (though a little pricey). I got the Taiwan Classic Milk Tea, which is a regular black milk tea that comes with pearls, grass jelly, and QQ noodles. Their pearls were pretty average - not spectacular, but sufficiently chewy and not flavorless. The grass jelly had a good taste and texture. The QQ noodles, which I'd never had before, are tapioca-like chewy jellies in a noodle shape, though being less tasty than the pearls I could do without them next time. The milk tea, on the other hand, was pretty good! Just the right sweetness, with a discernible black tea flavor, I'd definitely recommend it! At over $5 for their regular size, TP Tea was on the expensive side, but not so much that I wouldn't come back to try more of their drinks! read more

My friend recommended me to try this place. Currently during COVID, they have no indoor seating and you must order using a tablet they have inside. You pay on the tablet as well, and then are asked to take your receipt with your order number on it and wait outside until your number is called. There is plenty of parking here. Staff all wear masks and social distance when possible. I love the interior decor here and plan to come back when the pandemic is over as it seems like this would be a cute hangout spot! Milk tea was good, lots of customizability for sweetness levels and ice levels which is typical for the Bay Area. read more

I see a lot of boba shops, but there is always a line around the building here. What is unique about their drinks vs other places, besides being the OG boba shop?
To add onto the first answer, which I totally agree that TP Tea is a lot stronger compared to other shops. I think something that makes them unique is their QQ noodle topping, you don't find it at other boba shops.
Have anyone try use yumimeal online orders app to order they tea yet? Is working well? I know they have door dash but since like they charge so much yumimeal's price looks ok

Yes! They have seasonal drinks right now too, so you can get the cheese creama with Mango or Grapefruit Tea.
