Muse Tea

I'm a big fan of CHICHA San Chen, and I've had the chance to visit locations in Southern California…read moreas well as the headquarters in Taiwan, so I was really excited to try the Houston location. I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.

I have heard the hype for Chicha San Chen and I wanted to try it. This place is definitely a more…read moreelevated than your normal boba tea place and you can tell by the crowds. We had to wait a little in line but the service was fast! The tea tastes great and I like the cup they serve it. I appreciate that they offer your sweet level and ice level you prefer. And the prices are reasonable compared to other places I've visited. You see families of all ages come into this place, as it's shown in social media it definitely brings a crowd. One nice addition that I saw was a Photo Booth and tea tasting station! You don't have to worry about parking as it's located in a strip mall so there's quite a bit of spaces. Overall I enjoyed my time and would like to try other tea options here.

I decided to check it out after a good friend raved about it--and I'm happy to report it absolutely lived up to the hype. I'll keep this short and sweet: I ordered the Ruby Grapefruit Li-Li Tea with green tea jelly, and it was legit. Incredibly flavorful, super fresh, and loaded with real grapefruit pulp. I went with 100% sugar (no regrets--just work out an extra hour afterward ). The balance of tart and sweet was spot on, and the quality really stands out compared to your average boba shop. Yes, the drinks aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. You're paying for freshness and flavor, and it shows. The ambiance is clean, bright, and modern, and the service was solid. Drinks came out relatively quickly, even though it was busy. If you're tired of the same old average boba places, definitely give Macu Tea a try. Enjoy!

I could tell by the vibrant green color that it was partially Thai-inspired. Still very delicious and not too sweet--they don't add any sugar to this, so the sweetness comes entirely from the jellies. It came with grass jelly, coconut jelly, basil seeds, and a variety of other toppings in an artichoke tea base. Honeydew Milk Tea - Okay--this was an instant "mmmm!" kind of vibe. It genuinely tasted like honeydew, albeit a bit artificial. It had a rich flavor, a vibrant green color, and wasn't too sweet. I wouldn't order this for myself, but I do love stealing sips from my BF's. (I was pretty sugared out at this point too.) The place is very spacious, and it's right next to bb.q Chicken, my favorite Korean fried chicken spot! It would also be a great place to study if you're looking for wide-open tables.

I was in for a long drive from Sugar Land out to The Woodlands, so I decided to swing into Asiatown…read moreand grab a drink to help soothe the pain of driving on the Sam Houston at 3pm. I pulled over in the first parking lot I could find and opened Yelp to help me find something. I'm telling you all of this because I ended up walking into Le Drip and ordering the "Egg Coffee", knowing nothing about it. Now, I've been on this earth for a minute and I've drank a lot of coffee. This is among the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Certainly the best I've had in recent memory. What I'm saying is it's in the running for the best coffee drink I've ever had. The egg cream is thick and eggy, which I loved. The coffee itself is bold with a strong coffee taste. The cream is dusted with a heavy shake of cinnamon and it all melded together into a delicious concoction that I couldn't get enough of. If you're looking for a memorable coffee drink, I would recommend giving this spot a shot. Tell 'em Big D sent you.

Finally got around to trying this cozy little coffee shop. Perhaps it wasn't for me, but I found…read morethe drinks at Le'Drip to be just okay. The famous Egg Coffee didn't stand out at all from all the praise it receives. I expected a rich, creamy coffee experience, but I couldn't find any coffee essence at all. Instead, the drink was overwhelmingly sweet from start to finish. I was also excited to try the new Lychee Jasmine Matcha since it sounded phenomenal, but it ended up being my least favorite. The lychee flavor completely overpowered matcha, making it hard to enjoy the drink. Overall, it was a good try but it wasn't cup of coffee.

Very yummy!

My family and I have been going to Long's for some time, and their drinks are consistent. There are a lot of solid choices. My favorites are their smashed avocado, pandan latte, coffee slush, and royal artichoke. The smashed avocado has condensed milk and avocado--hard to go wrong with this combo. The pandan latte has pandan steeped milk I believe(?), which tastes fresh and not artifical, with two shots of unsweetend espresso. The coffee slush is not too icy and is a balance of sweetness and bitterness. The royal artichoke, which I get with crystal boba, comes with a variety of toppings, such longan, herbal jelly, chia seeds, etc, and is refreshing. The drive through is pretty convenient and fast, and there is plenty of parking in the plaza. The inside is a bit small, but they do have outdoor seating.

WOW...JUST WOW...I'm disgusted with myself for not finding this place any time sooner.. Muse Tea Shop is an absolute gem with an ambiance that's nothing short of extraordinary - an ideal haven for both focused studying sessions and delightful hangouts with friends. Personally, I'm enchanted by their oolong milk tea; its perfection is unparalleled and never fails to hit the spot. The staff at Muse exemplify excellence - each member radiates genuine warmth and happiness while serving your beverage, adding an extra layer of joy to the overall experience. Without a doubt, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Muse Tea Shop has undoubtedly earned a permanent spot on my list of favorites! read more

Lovely tea shop. Modern and neat. Love the hollow Wen decor. Service is definitely 5 stars. I ask so many questions however they are continuously to be very nice and patient. Try their artichoke tea. It is so smooth and tasty, perfect for a hot summer. I ordered the hot osmanthus tea and after I had it I am happy for the rest of the day. Did I also mention they make beautiful tea. I saw couple of fruit tea other people ordered, I have to order those next time. Music they play was great, in trend but not too loud. I came here to do some work and I enjoyed It a lot. Will definitely come back to try their different flavored tea. read more

AHHH Where have I been all this time? Why did I only visit this place so late in the game? Seriously, one of the best specialty tea shops around!
