Ten Ren's Tea

4/5 Overall Even though Ten Ren Tea in Taiwan serves up tea at competitive prices, they spend a little more money on providing drink lids (depending on what you get of course). You'll see that other boba drinks shops in Taipei will serve up boba tea drinks with a sheet of plastic melted on top. Ten Ren Tea in Taipei also of course, sells real tea! Packaged tea leaves that you can take home and brew tea with. Like most tea shops in Taipei, at Ten Ren Tea you can specify your sugar level and ice level. For most Americans, the sugar level at 100% might taste not that sweet (at least that's how it was for me at first). When I got boba tea drinks in Los Angeles at 100% sugar servings, it was way too sweet. Just letting you know that there may be a noticeable difference in your experience between boba drinks in the United States and boba drinks in Taiwan. 4/5 Matcha Milk Tea Cooler: I love getting this thing to cool down in the Taipei heat and for NT$60 (US$2) it's an amazing deal. My only critique is sometimes the ice blended drink is too chunky with ice making it difficult to drink. Other than that, it's sweet and refreshing. Made with green tea, milk, sugar and ice. 3/5 Coffee Cooler: Ten Ren Tea's Coffee Cooler is an Ice blended coffee drink. It's not too sweet and can be very strong. There's only one portion size and it's in a 20 ounce cup. The cost is NT$70 which is still cheaper than what you what pay for an equivalent sized Starbucks coffee frappucino at NT$120. It hits the spot when you need caffeine, but don't drink it all at once. 3/5 Japanese Matcha Ice Cream Green Tea Milk Tea: Okay, I thought this was going to be a mixed drink. It's straight up a milk tea with green tea ice cream. So you'll have a drink that's half solid and half liquid. At NT$90 it's not that bad of a price, but I prefer the matcha milk tea cooler as a more refreshing alternative. 4/5 Value: Ten Ren Tea has competitive prices and consistent quality. Most Ten Ren Tea drink prices start at NT$40 (US$1.30) and up. 4/5 Quality: Ten Ren Tea is an international tea chain known for it's quality and consistency. If you're new to boba (AKA pearls), Ten Ren is a good base level place to get acquainted tea and boba.

The boba tea drink was good. I liked that I could customize. BUT the lady at the store (whom I presume is the owner) yelling at the poor guy who was making my drink made the experience very unpleasant and uncomfortable. I won't be back since I don't want to support a business that mistreats their employees.

he clerk is very beautiful and has a good temperament. A tea shop will come again.

Nice selection of oolong teas. Ask for a cold tea for take away.

I love Ten Ren Tea:))
