Tiger Tea & Juice - San Jose

My go-to lately is the Taro Organic Milk tea (just milk and taro chunks). Light on sweetness; it's delicious. I also really like Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and Brown Rice Milk Tea.

TLDR: Funny tasting Milk tea and Peach Fruit TeaSometimes, I need to remind myself, who am I reviewing for? It's not for you, dear stranger, that I don't know. Nor is it to keep my "Elite" status, the vanity of vanities. No, it's for me. And my wife. But mostly for me. Sorry to be so self-centered, but it's the TRUTH. I can be quite absent-minded, and the reviews help me remember whether I should go to a place or avoid it.I wanted to give this place a higher rating. I really do. I want to support local business, and encourage them. But... this place is just not for me or my wife. We both thought our drinks taste... different. She always gets the black milk tea, no sugar, no ice. She said she didn't taste much tea flavor. I had the Peach oolong tea, 25 sugar, less ice. I COULD taste the tea... but the tea tasted... weird. Not like I'm used to. To be sure my taste buds hadn't changed, the next day I went back to my favorite place (Chun Yang Tea) and tried THEIR peach oolong. Tasted perfect!So.. I'm not telling you, dear inquisitive stranger, to stay away. I'm telling MYSELF that. For you guys, I would give it 3 stars!

I've been coming in to this location for two years now consistently and I love it, I've especially been obsessed with their peach oolong milk tea! When I went in earlier today I realized their decor inside was all removed and their walk up order had become two kiosk tablets. I decided to ask the staff if there was a change in management recently to which they shared that there is. I hope this helps businesses and hope to see new changes in the future because I wouldn't want such a San Jose gem to disappear.I also asked if there store hours would be affected with the Chinese New Year celebrations to which they said it would not.I'll still be returning to this shop as long as their drinks maintain delicious! :)

This has been the place to go among my friend group. It has a small menu but all had a good balance of tea, milk, and sugar. Not sure if there's been a change in management or owners recently but the quality has gone down. We used to be regular enough that the staff recognized us. Now everything is so unpersonal with the new kiosk check out service. The cashier for the last 2 visit routinely forgets things. This used to result in some generosity in regards to free drinks and apologies but not anymore. We watched someone ahead of us ask for an item not on the kiosk but was an item they served previously. They were told to just order the base item and team would make it for them. So they did. When they got their order, it wasn't the item they wanted. They went back up to the cashier and was told with a blank stare "oh I forgot". No, sorry let me remake it for you. That was it. The customer just then left but doubt they will return. It was not like the place was extremely busy that they couldn't squeeze in a new drink order. Furthermore, the last 2 times I came by the drink was mix. One time the drink was bland, no sugar and too much milk. The other time the drink was right only because someone other than the forgetful cashier made it. Regardless, it's hard to recommend this place given the service degradation and more options nearby like hey tea, haiku, or tp tea.

This is a clean and modern boba shop that sticks to the basics. They have all of the basic teas and milk teas with plenty of customization options. Employees are enthusiastic and make the drinks quick. There are also stuffed animals on sale on the side that are priced reasonably. Typically it isn't too crowded, but I'd expect weekends and hot days to change that.Jasmine Milk Tea: One of the best Jasmine Milk Teas out there. The tea flavor is good and the boba is always made perfectly. This drink isn't that sweet, so I would recommend keeping it at standard sweetness.

Their brown sugar boba was a letdown. The drink looked great, but the flavor just wasn't there :/ The brown sugar wasn't as rich as I expected, and the milk tasted a bit watered down. On top of that, the service was slow, even though the shop wasn't busy. For the price, I expected better quality.

I stopped here to get a drink after good food next door and tried the lemon peach tea and it was soooo good. I asked the guy beforehand if it was sweet and he said it wasn't too sweet, but they could sweeten it and he offered to remake it if it wasn't sweet enough to my tastes -- there was no need though because I enjoyed the drink the way he made it! It was so refreshing to sip on after working in the sun all day. The lemon flavor was so crisp and the peach really rounded it all out. The inside of the store was very clean, tidy and minimalist. I didn't have to wait in a long line or anything and the two workers very very quiet, but helpful and nice!Definitely will come back here when I'm in the area!

I have never had a tea which got the peach taste to be so close to what a peach should taste like. Its almost like there were no artificial flavor to it. Impeccable.

Still one of my favorite-EST spots for drinks!!! This is THEEEEEE spot if you are in need of something delicious, quenching, and fresh!! Tiger Tea & Juice absolutely delivers whenever it comes to fresh, quality ingredients and products that are not overloaded with sugars like most boba tea shops. Delicious teas found all around the world are steeped perfectly and fresh fruit is always used so items periodically change depending on what is in season. The staff's friendliness and upbeat attitude only adds to the memorable visits- each and every time. Don't hesitate to ask for their recommendations and speak up regarding any questions you may have.

Thank you for always being consistent and never compromising the quality & taste even when you guys are swamped!! I'm a solid fan through and through!!

We ordered the black milk tea with cheese foam and matcha latte (not in picture). The "have a nice day" on the cheese foam made our day! However, I was a little disappointed that the matcha latte was super sweet even if I asked for 0% sugar. It almost tasted like the same sweetness as 75% sugar. Not sure if it was because the matcha itself was already sweetened or because they forgot my request. Anyways, the black milk cheese foam made up for it. The tea flavor was strong, and the sweetness was well balanced with the savory flavor of the cheese foam. The boba was OK though. I'd like to try their signature brown sugar boba next time.
