Raretea - Visalia

Solid tea place! Got the taro milk- quick and efficient service. Taro milk was tasty and not too sweet- just the way I like it!

Rare tea was a must-try during our weekend getaway after some crazy hikes (at which both of my legs basically fell off my body). I ordered the Kiwi Aiyu Jelly Tea and it was just ok! The tea flavor is nice and fragrant - without being overwhelmingly strong. There is one big blob of aiyu jelly that was hard to maneuver my straw to because it kept slipping away. And unfortunately, kiwis must not be in season because they put the most unripe, crunchy, astringent-tasting kiwi I've ever had in my drink. I almost thought they accidentally put in watermelon rinds or grape peels by accident. At "less sweet", the drink was perfectly sweetened; and at "less iced", I also thought there was the perfect amount of ice. They have one gender-neutral bathroom, plenty of tables, free parking, and many drink options (vegan, non-caffeinated, non-dairy, etc).

Rare Tea is the best shop in town. As soon as you walk in ,you are greeted by a friendly smile from cheerful staff. The shop is very clean with a nice vibe. Their menu is very descriptive with photos for easy ordering. My favorites are the Lychee Milk Tea and the Winter MelonLemon Tea. For those who have never tried these flavors, I would suggest it. Mr K , I like your shop and always look forward going there*** May is Asian Pacific Islaner Heritage Month. Support Asian owned businesses. Stop # 9 of 13. May 20 2023 ***

Good boba spot in the area if you're looking for some boba! The drinks here weren't overly sweet! We ordered the Lychee Milk Tea Smootea, Mango Green Tea, and Taro Smoothie. Usually every place that has Taro Smoothie makes it too sweet, but this spot makes it perfect! Mango Green Tea has the perfect amount of mango in it as well! I think this spot is unique because I never heard of a Lychee Milk Tea in smoothie form!

The staff was friendly here and there was a good selection of flavors! I tend to see other boba stores that have too many items on their menu and therefore the quality of the flavor tends to be low. However this menu was short and sweet and easy to choose from! I bought the Thai milk tea with brown sugar boba and grass jelly. The boba was soft and flavorful and exceeded my expectations! I would defiantly recommend this over Gongcha! The inside of the store was cute and clean as well!

Took me a while to try this place just because it's a little out of my way but it was worth trying. The first drink I tried was their rose matcha latte, it's definitely a little different but I loved it! They have a strawberry matcha latte in case rose is not your thing. The taro is great here compared to the other boba places in Visalia. They have a brown sugar milk but I was told it doesn't have tea in it. They have milk alt for $1. I'm lactose intolerant so I don't have a choice lolService is great! Some of the staff never fails to greet and welcome you :) they always offer a piece of candy to my son who loves the taro here. I asked what the signature milk tea was the employee said "I don't know". Usually it's the shops own milk tea creation. Hoping to find out so I can try! Clean and Restrooms available for customers.

I was next door at the Verizon store and noticed this place. Boba was great. I recommend the brown sugar boba with Thai tea. Well priced. Nice ambience. This place and poki point on the south side of the parking lot have the best boba in Visalia I think. The service was fast and professional

Cutting straight to the chase. I ordered the Thai tea and the taro smoothie. Those are always my go to and I considered those classics. If you mess those up you're in the wrong business. Loved them Both. I also liked the cups they used. You can tell it's good quality and they can be re usable. While I was there, a lot of customers were ordering the brown sugar smoothie which I will definitely try next time. My total was $13 for both drinks which in my tea experience is on the pricey side! That's more expensive than Starbucks. The customer service was good. The cashier was super sweet and friendly. Smiles a lot and that's who you want as first contact. The ambience is chill, it was hot inside when I got there maybe there AC wasn't working but There's a lot of seating inside and outside. It's in the north side of Visalia at target on Dinuba shopping center. Nestled in between GameStop and Sally's. I love the location since I frequent that shopping center quite a bit. Will be definitely coming back.

We we have been waiting for this place to open as it's a few minutes away from home. We went the first week it was open and they had a great turnout. There is a menu inside so you can check out what drinks you would like to get is a space inside is not bad there's plenty of seats if you want to come hang out with family or friends. The drinks itself are immaculate and beyond delicious we got the taro and dirty brown sugar they were out of this world. We are definitely happy to see such a great business nearby with excellent customer service. If you haven't been definitely check it out.

First time customer I can say service was very good customer service friendly polite and informative we had the brown sugar bolba it was delicious
