Iced matcha latte
Josh M.

This was a cute tea shop with an overwhelming amount of different types of teas from all over the world available for purchase. They even had some free samples to try to the right side of the check-out register. I ended up trying their iced matcha latte with almond milk. It tasted pretty good, but I'd say $9.50 before tip for a grande sized latte was pretty steep. The seating area in the back was pretty nice, but got a little hot due to poor ventilation, so I'd recommend taking your drinks to-go during the summer!

Great little Tea shop on the historic pearl street. I love this little place because you can tell the tea will be good. The staff is friendly and inviting. My cousin and I originally came here to keep warm from the winter cold. We were pleased to try milk tea her e it is definitely an experience. Definitely recommend this place to try some authentic tea!

Came here after reading great things about the tea collection here, however ended up regretting it. My friend spilled extremely hot tea on her hand and we asked for an ice cube which one of the server refused as it was "out of policy" to give ice. The restrooms were occupied and so we couldn't douse the burn in cold water. When we asked them was there anything they could do to help us, she shrugged and said it was out of policy to hand out an ice cube. Absolutely ridiculous! Handing out ice to treat someone's injury is totally different than handing out ice for drinks. She could see the red inflamed hand and still refused to help us. After insisting on getting something to put on the hand, she gave us a bit of burn cream on a tissue paper. No sorry, no compassion and zero empathy. Never coming back here.

This review is based upon the boba tea we had. We had the jasmine boba milk tea, boba was hard to chew and the tea was very bland. There's a seating area at the back of the store but it has bad ventilation and so hot in the summer.

I was here in February for a conference & I am so happy I found d this place. My obsession with tea runs deep & this place fit the bill. Literally everything from match to herbal to make your own blend. Teas for allergies, cough, & more. I loved that there is also a little explanation for each tea there. I loved that you can make your own blend but you don't have to wing it on your own. The owner was there to help guide you & there is a book to also help you figure out which tea flavors would go together & the benefits. Need some tea education? They can help with that too!! There is also the cutest "tea pets" to pick up so you never have to have a proper cup of tea on your own. There is even a tea kettle "tea pet," that you can actually steep a small amount of tea in. How freaking cool is that?!?!? Prices super reasonable. Smells are amazing. I limited my tea buying since I was traveling back to AZ but I will be ordering from here in the future. I picked up allergy tea, white grape tea, & hot cinnamon. All were amazing. I have recommended each of these to my colleagues. Definitely stop in. Try the tea of the day & pick yourself some tea to go. You will not regret it.

Had to check out this tea place My grandson wanted a cup of tea. Very clean and organized store. Lots of tea varieties and they even have 3 teas for free taste samples. They were excellent! We ordered our tea and sat in the back. Very nice dining space. Me really enjoyed our break from outside Highly recommend! People were so pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Beautiful tea house with so many loose tea options. The cafe was having some technical difficulties so we had limited options when we visited but the drink we settled on was good.

Very solid tea shop, I believe it's a chain, I came across to it in both Boulder and Denver. They have very unique blends and they can also blend the teas you would choose. I tried a flavorful fruity black tea (Spring in Paris), I loved it as a black tea connoisseur. My favorite black tea is Lady Grey, staff was quick to suggest along the fruity-flavorful lines. There are seats/tables in the back, not sure if they're serving in tea glasses, would be better if they did so. They gave me takeaway but I didn't ask for tea glass specifically. I'd love to come back and will be visiting their website to order tea!

I love visiting tea places in each day, and I came across this one on Yelp! It has a Store a Front, Caffè in The back and traditional Chinese sitting area all the way in the back! The stores and organize by the category of teas and they also have staff pit tees in a bundle, which I find that it is a better deal getting those! They do have samples of the tea that they make and all the workers here are super helpful and sweet! It's definitely a way to meditate and just unwind down during the day or start that morning!

Mango Green Milk Tea
Christine L.

They advertise that they sell boba, but I wouldn't say they're very used to making milk teas? If you do want a milk tea, maybe stick with just the original item. As in there is only that one boba milk tea item. The others listed under are just teas, not different kinds of milk teas. Also, don't actually know about their boba quality because, despite the sign put out outside, they didn't actually have any boba that day. Actually, they seemed to be out of a number of menu items at the time. Go all the way to the back of the store for the tea bar. Even further back is an absolutely gorgeous, quiet area (the actual "tea house") with a glass roof to drink tea, read, and hang out in. I would absolutely love to try hanging out here one day. They sell all sorts of loose and packaged teas, as well as tea sets and equipment. Very lovely store and an interesting addition tourist-wise. Very keeping with Boulder's health-conscious culture.

Very cute shop with tons of options. The drink we ordered was ok but the place was super adorable. Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for a place to chill with friends.

Blend your own tea station
Kyana M.

I loved visiting this tea shop on Pearl Street. It is so beautiful and has so many different varieties of tea. They also have a tea bar in the back. The tea bar offers a wide variety of teas from pu'erh and green tea to boba and oolong. We order boba tea because my daughter is obsessed right now. We got the vanilla, rooibos boba with almond milk. We waited less than 5 minutes and the drink was amazing. In the tea shop, I really loved the blend your own tea station and can't wait to come back and make my own customized tea. They have all kinds of herbs with different medicinal qualities. Overall, it was a beautiful shop and I can't wait to go back again.

The tea room
Olivia S.

I'm not a huge tea fan but this place has me wanting to fly back to CO for more! Honestly the atmosphere kept me feeling the chillest vibes and was probably the main draw for me. I got the peach boba with oat milk. It was so mild and yummy with a hint of that citrusy peach. Please see the pics for the cutest tea room in the world! If you're on Pearl Street don't forget to stop by, hydrate, take your shoes off and stay a while.

Beautiful building with so much character and history, friendly and attentive service, easy parking…read moreand delicious food and tea! We loved everything about this place! We had to wait about 20 mins without a reservation on a weekday - im guessing weekends are busier. The menu is influenced from countries along the silk route and has a dish from various different countries. We tried the swedish svamptoast, malaysian sambal curry, indonesian peanut noodle, choo chee salmon. Everything was flavorful, a little spicy, good quantities and the value for money was also great - each dish was $20-$23 range which is great for such an ambience. We also tried their chai - which was lightly spiced and one of the black teas (pineapple chilli) - and these were delicious too! We had kids with us and they were super friendly and nice towards them and accommodating to menu changes based on preferences. Overall - highly recommend this place!

We were surprised to find it very crowded at 4pm when we visited. There's a small area at the front of the restaurant and a lot of folks were gathered there waiting for their tables. It took several minutes before the hostess checked us in and let us know it would be a few minute wait. A bit later we were guided to our seats. I appreciated that they took trouble to make it feel like a special experience - with white tablecloths, decor and the cutlery. They seemed a bit short staffed that day so our server was helping out many tables. He was very helpful in explaining the menu, though we did have to ask specifically to receive the full tea menu. We decided on a few teas to share - a spiced white chocolate white tea, rooibos chai, and a hibiscus cooler (iced and non-caffeinated). The spiced white chocolate was fantastic. I wasn't as much of a fan of the rooibos but if you like less sweet teas this is a good choice. The hibiscus cooler was delicious and refreshing, and I liked that they let us take it to go! Our amuse bouche came out first - a delicious pumpkin seed savory small soup and it was fantastic. We eagerly awaited our tea tower - and it certainly did not disappoint! We are still thinking about the delicious spinach and artichoke pinwheel with olive tapenade - it was our absolute favorite. The savory sandwiches were also delicious. We especially enjoyed the clotted cream and lemon curd with the scone, and the desserts were delectable. We were stuffed by the end of our teatime! Our server was very helpful and despite it being very busy, we felt taken care of. I think this is a very worthwhile experience - the tea, sweets, and savories are all delicious and definitely worth checking out!

They are apparently planning a grand opening when summer arrives. I had seen it when eating on the west end of Pearl, just east of the new expanded Hapa sushi that took over the space of two that closed in the pandemic. This space is part of one that closed. I looked through the menu and found a fruit tea that has no caffeine, a choice I medically need. It is winter melon and it seems good for today, snow on the ground but not cold or windy. I ordered it with boba and they were so fresh and soft. Perfect. When I asked for it at a lower sweetness that was on the wall poster, the staff member informed me they actually do not have control of this other than diluting it. So that is what I had her do. It still tasted great and not too sweet but it does dilute it some. Other shops apparently use a separate sweetening syrup rather a premixed solution. As another Yelp review mentioned, it is very small inside with one wall with a bench to sit for a short time. It's actually quite pretty though and the staff efficient and friendly. I am giving it a 5 because only the sweetness was a small issue but it's really a 4.5 until they expand options. So glad to have them on Pearl in such a popular block. Though it is only Winter Melon that cannot be altered this way. Other teas can be easily customized.
