“ They've got some tasty teas! A great local stop for some yummy boba, would recommend stopping in. ”
“ $10 boba is kind of insane, but I must say that my drink was quite good. I marked this spot after seeing that they had genmaicha, as I've never actually seen that on a boba menu before. I absolutely love that flavor, and knew I had to give it a try at least once. I got the genmaicha latte with soy milk, and also added red bean to it. The flavor of the tea was strong, it was the perfect balance of sweetness, and the red bean really tied it all together nicely. To be fair the drink is quite large, but I still felt like the price was a little ridiculous for a single drink. The inside was also really cute and well decorated, so that was a plus! A nice spot to sit and catch up with friends ”
“ Ngl this place can roast better than kendrick did to drake. The more roasted the better this goes for the tea as well. My boi tried to shoot his shot at the abg staff but got hard rejected due to his tech bro fit but hey it's a nicely designed spot. Place is pretty traditional but not a hard sit down and play board games vibes. Bulk approved ”
“ Phenomenal flavor at Young Tea, each tea had a depth and complexity that I believe is unparalleled by other boba tea shops in the area. The High Mountain Oolong Milk Tea and Assam Milk Tea retained their distinct floral notes, pronoucing their unique presence in the drink despite their lighter flavor. The Rock Oolong Milk Tea and Pu-erh Black Sugar Milk Tea had deep, earthy tones that when combined with milk and sugar, was reminiscent to me of particularly rich chocolate and light coffee, while being their own complex flavors. They use quality teas that the milk and sugar enrobe, rather than mask, into a more playful flavor to drink on a social outing with friends & family. With the authenticity of the tea, there is a fair amount of caffeine, so I would recommend taking that into consideration. The seating feels like a good level to sit and study with headphones, or have some chitchat before heading out for the rest of your day. I had a pleasant conversation with friends that felt private enough in the noise of the shop. The owner came out to personally ask what we thought of the drinks and I enjoyed talking to her about the philosophy behind her drinks. The ingredients are certainly chosen with care, to befit what she would serve her children and to us. A lovely business to support, I'd highly recommend this place to friends and family. ”
“ Really good boba! The recommendations from staff were really helpful. The cafe is a cute little spot with fun decor. Would definitely come back! ”
“ My family and I were in Seattle last week for a dear friend's wedding and they actually had a number of drinks from Young Tea available at the reception. My husband and I opted for their signature milk tea and the high mountain oolong milk tea. Other places can really water down their signature milk tea, but this had a strong flavor - both the tea and the sweetened condensed milk which blended in quite nicely. This was our first time trying high mountain oolong milk tea and we really enjoyed it. It had a more subtle flavor than the signature, but was still really good. The amount of boba in both drinks was just perfect - not too little, not too much, and a good consistency as well. We don't live in the area, but would definitely come back if we visited again. ”
“ Somewhat of a hidden gem, and a shame I didn't come in earlier. I was very impressed by their selection of tea. This is NOT your average boba shop - it's a high-end modern tea cafe. You can tell their tea leaves are of the highest quality. They have rare and diverse selections, and even (expensive) tea leaves and tea sets for sale. The interior space is just WOW. It's very cozy and elegant. I feel like I'm in Taiwan! The biggest cons are their lack of food/snack availability and no wifi. It's easy to miss the place from the looks on the outside, and if this was located in a busier area it would get SO much more business. ”
“ Such an awesome boba shop! Loved the taro smoothie here. It has real taro chunks so you know they're using real ingredients to make it. The only downside was I thought it was a little sweet even with 0% sugar so maybe they're unable to adjust sweetness for smoothies? Looking forward to coming back to try their other drinks! ”
“ I will forever love young tea. Loved it when it was in ID, continue to love it in Wallingford (maybe a little more because street parking is easier in Wallingford). The place was pretty empty when I entered, and they originally have a couple self ordering screens but they were out of service at the time. The people working were super kind and patient while I pondered on what to get. I decide on the peach oolong tea with grass jelly. I don't like my drinks that sweet, I usually get 25/30% sugar, but young tea's drinks are very tea forward, so 50% is perfect for me. The grass jelly was okay, didn't have much grass jelly flavor, so was a bit disappointed on that part, but overall still a good drink! ”
“ Still one of my favorites boba shops near Seattle. It was my first time visiting this store, and how I've missed the Rose Green Milk Tea drink since the location in International District closed almost 2 years ago. You can't go wrong with any drinks here, especially if you appreciate authentic and strong tea. Inside is quiet and clean, and has a few high tables to sit around. It was a pleasant surprise to meet the owner Caroline at the FREE tea tasting event on Sundays from 1-4PM. I tried 2 types of Oolong, both were great tea. And I was so happy to be reunited with the Rose Green Milk Tea. I'm excited to hear the Bellevue store is scheduled to open later this year, around summer time. ”
