    I have been using vouchers that were gifted to me to get complementary matcha drinks here and really enjoy them. I get the cold matcha with oat milk with pistachio flavor. The staff seems really friendly and kind. They also seem to offer a lot of flexibility to adjust drinks per customer preference and so far always seemed eager for me to be happy with my drink. They are very flexible with sweetness levels! I like that they use Le Sirop De Monin products for flavoring their drinks since they typically don't use artificial food coloring and instead usually contain fruit and vegetable based coloring. Transit Tea also has Bubbe's Bagels in a bread stick shape available. I don't typically get drinks outside of the house and generally prefer to prioritize going out for food vs drinks but I am glad my gift vouchers introduced me to Transit Tea as it's been really lovely and a great treat! There's only outdoor seating here and ordering at the window, no indoor area for customers.

    Annoyed that I haven't visited Transit Tea sooner! We used the drive-thru, which was quick and it gave us enough time to figure out what we wanted. We really liked the endless combinations but also the fact that we could choose a drink that someone had already created. We ended up going with the raga chai (hot) and bayou (carbonated). Both were incredibly delicious, Raga was a flavorful spicy golden milk style drink. Perfectly balanced. And bayou sort of reminded me of an Italian soda. So good. We will 100% be back again and again and again.

    Transit tea! Decent. Nice staff. I wish they had Internet for people. No indoors and no bathroom. I had a Matcha sugar-free vanilla latte. It wasn't hot enough for me, but I went ahead and asked for a glass of ice and poured it over myself, and it was still strong enough to enjoy. My friend had regular black tea and the price was cheaper than most other places at $2.75. I just wish they had a place to sit indoors then this place would really earn my five star review.

    Love the convenience of a drive through and delicious, refreshing tea. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming!

    I went to a stand at the Summer Nights farmers market thing they had downtown and Transit Tea did not disappoint. The mint tea with luminous was absolutely refreshing for a little no caffeine moment! The staff was super nice, despite the rush we got our drink super quick. And with all the menu options- I will be going back to them!

    Love the design!

    I'm not usually in close proximity to this business, but wow, from now on anytime I'm slightly near here, I must make a stop. The iced vanilla matcha I got was so incredibly delicious. I instantly wished I had gotten a large. Just so creamy and perfect. I got my daughter a strawberry lemonade which she absolutely loved. I can also attest that it was so good. I got my husband an iced hibiscus arroyo. He said it was too spicy for him but I tried it and thought it was just right--just maybe not what he had been looking for. I would say a downside of this place is that there's no interior to sit and enjoy your delicious drink. It's walk up or drive thru only. Service was friendly and super fast. I can't wait to go back!

    The best drink spot in Tucson! Cranberry and peach - plus add sparkling fizzy magic - magnificent!

    I love transit tea! This time around I tried a sparkling tea soda with white tea base and sugar free "Arroyo" flavor, which is their prickly pear. You can pick which tea you want (black, green, white, hibiscus, etc) and the type of drink- hot, cold, sparkling, or snow. I love the customizations and variety offered here. During the summer months we tend to get the soda and the snow cone options frequently, but during cooler months their chai teas and London fogs are great as well! I noticed that they have a new chai soda on the menu, I'll be back to try that.

    When we came here a few years ago, the menu was completely different. At that time, we fell in love with Transit tea and came multiple times. Now, the descriptions are not that descriptive and make the drinks sound less interesting. Because of this, I personally found the menu was not very helpful. It feels like they just used words that sound nice but don't mean very much, does that make sense? Still nice, but my elderly in laws liked it less compared to prior years because they felt the menu was trying to be too cool. I wish I had a picture of the older menu so I could show you. I personally have to agree with them. Before, I would have given it 5/5 stars and taken guests here but now I don't know - it was a different experience. I personally tried the green tea base with the tiger cola which is Transit's classic cola. I also got to try the hibiscus base with Luminous, which is the blueberry lemon squeeze. The hibiscus based drink was more interesting but frankly the overwhelming flavor was hibiscus (no big deal, we love hibiscus) and not so much the other flavors.

    This was my first time at this location to use my Tucson Foodie coupon. I absolutely love this place and you can't miss their bright colorful building! The menu is simple and straightforward and the tea is hard to beat. I got my usual, rainforest black tea. They even have a drive thru with friendly, fast service!

    Banana Matcha
    MJ M.

    Ordered on DoorDash got them delivered perfectly. They have a little tamper evidence sticker which is really cool and I appreciate that it's safe and secured. I did not know what to order so I ordered the Bayou large tea and the banana nut Matcha the banana nut Matcha 10 out of 10.

    I've had tea from here at several nonprofit fundraising events, but never actually stopped by the store. Because the weather was relatively reasonable, we decided to give it a shot. And what a delightful in the place they were so welcoming, and even offered to shaved ice to my Poodle. I'll definitely be back.

    Just tried their new chai soda and omg it's my new favorite. My husband also got the dirty chai which was fantastic. I love that they always roll out new drinks to try and that the drive thru moves at a good pace! The staff are always friendly and prompt with service.

    Definitely a tea for everyone here. My favorite so far is the rainforest green still tea. This will probably become a family favorite outing
