Woohoo! Everybody should know that there is a new cha FOR TEA opened together with the new Eslite…read moreSpectrum store. It is now very close to my neighbourhood and I would definitely come more often. Apart from my favourite bubble tea as well as Taiwanese drinks, this shop is also serving tea egg (Did I missed tea egg from other stores? I have never saw any) and ice cream. The other shop that serves ice cream would be the one in Ma On Shan. They got two flavours, green tea and oolong tea, for us to choose from. If you have never tried their ice cream, I highly recommend the oolong tea ice cream. It tastes really special, literally like iced oolong tea! You need to try it! P.S. The queue is much shorter here.

Inside of Eslite in City Plaza. I usually don't drink Ten Ren in America, but the stores in Hong…read moreKong always have such a long line! My friend's dad once told me that if you see a long line of Asians, it indicates two things: 1) food is good 2) food is inexpensive. Ten Ren is definitely both good and inexpensive. Drinks run to about $13-28. I ordered the green tea with honey. A very simple drink, but it was very good. Sometimes, although you order a honey drink, they just add sugar. Not at Ten Ren! I saw with my own eyes the barista add a generous dosage of honey into my drink. He then mixed it well, added ice, and then put it in the blender for a few seconds. The drink had a very strong tea aroma. You could also taste the honey well. Even when the ice melted a little, the tea flavor was still very good! Great place for any sort of tea. On display are many different types of teas that you can also buy to take home.

TP Tea was bit of a disappointment after hearing so many positive reviews for it. I had the jasmine…read moregreen tea with pearls, no sugar. I usually go for Boba drinks without sugar as they tend to be too sweet. But this one was average and I don't think I would return. Plus it wasn't cheap, for HK$30. I would rather walk towards Fortress Hill for more affordable drinks at HK$20 that taste way better.

The drink here is pretty good. Just the wait for is a bit long to get your drinks…read more I got the regular boba milk tea med size HK$18. Which is cheaper than the US. I paid almost $4 in the US.

Finally, tenren comes to HK! For those unfamiliar, this is a Taiwanese bubble tea chain from…read moreCalifornia. Having lived in LA, I was very excited to see that they were finally opening stores here. So let's be honest, I'm a little biased. My favorites are either the original pearl milk green tea or jasmine green tea with pearls. The best part about this chain is that as is taiwanese custom, you can adjust the amount of sweetness and ice in the drink. For my light palate, 30pct sweetness and low ice is plenty. That way I can still taste the tea without having sugar overpower the whole drink. magnificent! Please open more stores!

We tried the milk green tea bubble tea and the honey green tea. Both with 30% sugar level. Both…read morewere excellent! Why don't US Ten Ren shops make it just like HK. The tea was tasty and not bitter. The boba was soft and chewy. The sugar level was perfect!

It's always tea time…read more.. ComeBuyTea is located right outside the Mong Kok Station and I'm a sucker for a cup of refreshing tea. What I do love about here is that you're also able to create your own from at least five types of tea and there are seats in the back as well for all patrons that purchase a drink it's kept at a comfortable coolness along with USB port for some recharge. The staff wasn't as quite friendly as he didn't ask about our sweetness level and I forgot to mention ton it as well so for me personally it was SWEET and had a difficult time drinking it but was very happy to have this refreshing cup of tea. Thank you!

Since this place opened a few weeks ago, everytime I walk by during the work week, the lines and…read morecrowds are so long and so dense you would think that they are giving away free apartments here in Central. I am never one to wait in a line (life is short and I choose to not wait in lines), but by rare chance this weekend, we walked by and there was barely a line. When I asked my Chinese husband why this brand was so popular, he said that they are no more expensive than other bubble tea spots, but they use a better tea. Our tea drink cost $18HKD, plus an extra $4HKD for our pearl add on. You place your order from the street counter from their extensive menu, pay and then wait for your number to be called (they did request to see the receipt when we grabbed your drink, so be sure to not throw away or anything before you snag your beverage). The menu is in Chinese and English, it is clear to understand your options and you can always add pearls to any drink that might not already have them. Some drinks served with ice, others are not. We shared the lemon premium jasmine green teat (and added pearls) from the "suggested menu." It tasted like a really satisfying lemon shake-up (my Midwestern roots are showing!). Sweet, satsifying, very delicious. I also loved that it is served in a paper versus a plastic cup. An environmentally friendly niche can make someone like me more loyal to one brand over another. The shop is fronted by glass, so you can see the dozen or so employees almost surgically preparing the tea drinks. There were maybe 15 people mulling about ordering and waiting like us and it took maybe 8-10 minutes for us to get our drink. Not certain I would wait with the masses when they are super busy, but I will definately snag one on the times I see there is little to no line.

We took the red tea soy milk and lemon yakult drink. The red bean soy milk was amazing and the soy…read moremilk they use is of high quality: not too sweet and really has the soy bean taste.

So they have this chain/franchise in the United States too. There each drink costs 4$+, while here…read moreit is only 18hkd (2.5$). Thought the quality here would be the same as the one in the USA seeing that it's a franchise. Unfortunately it is not. #1 customer service here: rude. Tried to pay with a 500$ bill and asked if I had smaller denominations, which I didn't. Anyways she slammed my change onto the counter. #2 the pearls are all sticking together... Wtf. That usually only happens if the pearls have been sitting there for a while. Which means they weren't fresh or the employees didn't continuously stir them throughout the day. Because of the sticky pearls, I ended up with tons of pearls left after finishing my milk tea.

I ordered jasmine milk tea with pearls (it was $16 +$2 HKD for the pearls, so it's less than $3…read moreUSD). It took awhile to come out since there were some group orders ahead of me. It tasted pretty good (decent tea taste without being too sweet and pearls were the right texture). The only thing I'd say is that I probably should've requested less ice but other than that I liked it. I'll probably be back to try the other drinks!
