Taste Tea

Ok so it's been a while since I have gotten a bubble drink but I heard Taste Tea is good. I got the blended taro milk tea with boba and it was soooo refreshing I was in shock! The tea flavor wasn't too strong thankfully since I don't like tea. I mainly wanted a taro milk shake with chewy boba and that's what it tasted like! The boba texture was just right: not too starchy and not too gooey. I watched her make the smoothie and while it was the powder flavoring, it didn't taste chalky. Perfect for walking around the mall and sipping away. Before I knew it, it was gone! So much for saving some for my mom! They have a very extensive menu so I had a hard time deciding but it was between pudding milk tea blended and the taro and the cashier recommended taro. Good choice!

Went about 7pm on Friday - they were out of the big boba - so I opted for the small boba instead. They gave me a small straw which cracked and as I drank all the tea . Also found a clump of the small boba on the bottom of the cup and it was just unacceptable. This location is usually good?

If you like sugar water, this is definitely the place to go to. Unfortunately for this place, I like to taste the tea in my milk tea and not just sugar. Granted, some of you may just tell me to order it with less sugar. But here's the problem: without the sugar, I'm just left with watered down tea and milk!I've been to this place numerous times and have so far ordered their regular milk tea, matcha latte milk tea, and honeydew milk tea. Out of the three, I liked their matcha latte milk tea the best but that may only be because I love anything matcha.Another thing that brought down my experience is that this place seems almost completely reliant on powder milk tea and powder flavoring which leaves almost a grainy taste in my mouth if they don't mix it well enough. Sometimes, they'll also put too much and its artificial flavors then really shine through in the drink.I'm also disappointed by the lack of consistency at this particular location. A drink at 50% sweetness level will not always taste the same depending on who makes it. It would be really nice if they started measuring the ingredients they put into their drinks.To end on a more positive note, their boba has a pretty good texture for those that like their boba on the chewier, dense side of the spectrum. It works your jaw out just a little bit more than the typical boba, but I actually don't mind that all too much.

I've been craving milk tea. So, I went here and I forgot they had a taste tea here. I ordered their Fruity Pebbles Milk tea with boba. The fruity pebbles milk tea is my go to. The boba was pretty bland, but cooked very well. Service was alright.

The Pearl Ridge location usually has three staff running it efficiently. There's rarely a line. My go to flavors are taro, melon or matcha blended with LARGE boba. They never disappoint.

This review is long overdue, but when I used to work at the mall, I would come here almost every day after work and order the Fruity Pebbles Milk Tea or the Taro Coconut Milk Tea with Molten Tapioca. The molten tapioca is my favorite drink add-on. It is warm and chewy and goes perfectly with the milk tea. The drinks here are good, and the service is fast. I have no complaints, but I do wish that there was a Taste Tea location in Kapolei!

Have you ever been wronged and wanted to make things right? Well after yesterday's disappointment, we wanted to go somewhere else for good service and good tasting milk tea. Ding, ding, ding, we got a winner! Must be #SensationalSunday!First, I have to give a big mahalo to the workers at Taste Tea. They were all friendly, helpful, and so quick! One of our beverages was filled and ready before I finished paying. Now that's service!More importantly, the full tea taste was in there. Not hidden with ice or water like yesterday at the other place. We were very satisfied with today's service and order. In fact, this was cheaper than the bad experience yesterday. Thank you again Taste Tea, we will be back!

Fruity pebbles is my favorite! It's naturally pretty sweet so I usually get zero sugar and Thai walls, so nostalgic for me

This is my favorite Boba tea place on island. Staff is friendly, quick and professional. I have tried the Jasmine milk tea and one other tea (oolong with cream) both were prepared perfectly. The staff is very good about asking what level of sweetness you prefer. You have a choice of small boba or large boba. I usually chose the larger sized boba. The service and the tea was lovely. I look forward to my next tea here.

good stuff here. $7 for a tea is kinda steep but lucky thing i dont drink this issshh everyday
