Nice, Ten Ren Tea Station basically for Hong Kong, dubbed as 天仁喫茶趣. Based on multiple visits in the…read morelast 2+ years (plus having had Ten Ren drinks in Taipei) I have to say this location comes pretty darn close. Comparing Ten Ren tea drinks in Northern (and Southern) California to this Hong Kong location: Prices in Hong Kong are dirt cheap in comparison, nothing really above US$2 on average. Quality is easily x2 to x3 than that in NorCal (and quite possibly SoCal) Thus we pay x2 to x3 as much at 1/2 to 1/3 of the quality, bottom line. Employees are very efficient. A ten minute wait for a drink after paying, is considered a hellish wait even if the line seems long. Even if one of the employees is slacking off, he or she is washing/rinsing cups or blender vats in one hand, and surfing social media/checking texts with the other. Multi-task slacking and getting drinks out the door. And some of you out there have no qualms about 1.5 hour wait for ramen (or a food truck), or 45 minutes for a watered down tapioca milk tea drink. Sigh. This Ten Ren also has a limited selection of imported Taiwanese tea, tea snacks. Octopus (MTR/subway/public transportation) cards accepted for payment (stored value card). You can sip on your drink while browsing books and magazines in Eslite bookstore. Honey green tea, some matcha based drinks, even a classic like Chrysanthemum Pu-Er, are all very good. Honey green tea, even if semi diluted, is still better than the crap in the States....the Wattes....(like Lattes in coffee shops, except Watte is water with a shot of tea). What more can you ask for?

The wait was bad here too, which is a good sign because that means it's popular. Definitely would want to come back and try their other flavors. The mochi longjing drink was really good.

So as I was waiting for my family members shopping at iSquare I decided to wait in line and give it a go. We ordered the Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk (you can only get 2 of these/person) since this was the most popular drink I decided to order it. Once I started to drink it, it literally tasted like regular milk but it wasn't anything amazing. (I have yet to taste China's/HK's milk but MAYBE this milk taste better than the other milks they're selling?) the tapioca was average. Anyway waited in line for about 30 minutes for a cup of milk with tapioca, not worth it sorry T^T

The recent craze of cream cheese topped tea drinks is also on Cha Long's menu (streaming off from the more famous Hey Tea 喜茶 chain in Guangzhou and Shenzhen). My favorite thus far is the Roasted Oolong with the cream cheese foam top. I asked for 0% sugar and less ice so that I could taste the contrast between the smooth cheese and the bittersweet Oolong tea. I do appreciate the design of the Cha Long cups that makes it easier to drink the cheese top drinks, which has now become an art form. The starting price of HK$30 is a little steep, I'll admit, but you won't be disappointed.

Not overly Milky - like "The Alley" A little more chewy on the boba - better than "Yi Fang" and a slew of imitations through out the night markets. Tiger Sugar makes 2 versions of this - with regular boba and tiny ones called "pearl boba". I looovvvvveeeeee BOTH version but slightly more addicted to the tiny pearl boba version. Seriously.

The bubbles are made from brown sugar then cooked in a brown sugar syrup concoction, then poured to line the cup with that distinct design and lastly, the milk! I think what makes this drink delicious is the milk, I'm not sure what kind they use but it goes really well with the brown sugar. Overall, definitely worth a visit! Also, it would be nice if they offer different milk options for the vegans out there!

First of all, for $20 HKD and such a large size for both milk tea drinks, it was an amazing deal. And for $22 HKD the kumquat lemon drink was also refreshing and fragrant. Sharetea impressed me so much because of the variety and the quality for the price. The amount of items you can choose from at a low price is awesome. And the milk teas actually taste like tea and not just milk like most boba places. Their milk tea and green milk tea were both sweet and milky while retaining the true taste of each type of tea. This combination along with the tasty texture of the boba really sells it for me. Their boba is a good size and flavor + there are so many!!! I've never gotten so much boba in a boba drink in my life! Secondly, the kumquat lemon drink was impressive because of how fresh the taste was. You can really tell it's made from real fruit and it's a great drink for sunny + humid day in Hong Kong if you're looking for something light. It's very sour though so make sure you like the taste of both kumquat and lemon before you order this drink. I'm so glad that sharetea is a chain in Hong Kong and hopefully they extend to the US where I reside because their boba drinks are phenomenal!
