The drinks were kind of limited and if you like basic plain boba drink here you go. I expected it to be more like milk tea but it’s very unique.
Texture of Boba was great. I had the buckwheat tea with oat milk and chia seeds. Excellent flavor of tea. My partner had the lava boba. Very sweet but again Fantastic flavor. I ordered on Uber eats for pick up and it was ready in less than 5 minutes. 18 dollars for two drinks.
My favourite bubble tea place! Perfect sweetness and consistent quality. Workers are always nice. I recommend their earl grey and rock oolong with pudding.
I loooove the signature milk tea at Young Tea! The black tea flavor is fragrant and rich, and the milk is creamy without overwhelming the tea flavor. I want to be able to taste the tea in my milk tea, and Young Tea always delivers on that front. I like that they emphasize using freshly brewed teas, and my sweet-loving sister is really into their house made syrup. I've tried other drinks here (hojicha is well-balanced like the black milk tea and roasty sweet, lemon aiyu is refreshing and light), but I always come back to their signature milk tea. Why mess with a classic when it's done well? The prices here are pretty average for milk tea in Seattle (~$5) so it's a nice treat every once in a while.
They sell excellent tea and milk tea if you prefer a good tea taste and not so creamy for milk tea. It also not too sweet and the boba is good too.
Young Tea was delicious! On top of that, the service was amazing, it was our first time here and the lady taking our order gave us a lot of tips about sweetness levels and recommended toppings! Plus, they have a parking garage around the corner so it was convenient
I loved Young Tea! I definitely want to come here again. The menu was HUGE. There was such a wide variety of teas! There are also a lot of caffeine-free/tea-free options. There's something for everyone! There are also many drinks you wouldn't find at a typical boba shop, such as assam milk tea. I forgot to ask for reduced sweetness like I usually do at boba places, but luckily the tea was not too sweet anyways. It was just the right amount of sweetness. Also, the service was great, and the portion size was huge! It's quite inexpensive for the amount you get.
TL;DR : Drinks were just ok given how long we waited. Not coming back.First time going (Saturday) was super busy and it took nearly an hour for 2 drinks. My drink (Earl Grey w/ boba) was not worth the wait: boba had a hard center, tea was oversteep, and wasn’t sweet despite asking for it to be extra. The manager apologized, no refund but remade it. She remade it incorrectly and I didn’t have time to keep waiting.The second drink (Grapefruit Plum Juice w/ lychee jelly) was the best drink my mom ever had. Her complaints: the lychee jelly being too mushy and a weird coating that covered her mouth after every sip. She was more open to coming back.
Their Hojicha latte was perfect! Not to sweet and warm as I wanted it to be! Not many bubble tea places I’ve been to offered warm drink, thanks Young Tea for that. And Roiboos milk tea (hot) was awesome too. Will be back again.
Got the M5 high mountain oolong milk tea. Got 30% sugar, but it had no sugar at all. Just tasted like cold watered down tea.
