Peach season is back and so is my favorite peach drink. The Peach Cheese was full of big, juicy peach pieces. You can really taste the difference when drinks are made with fresh fruit. The Pineapple Bobo with coconut milk was another good one. Pineapple and boba worked surprisingly well together. Black Grape Cheese is still my go-to. I always get it with no sugar and it's honestly not sweet at all. Mango Sago is my husband's favorite. Even with no added sugar, it's still naturally sweet because the mango is so ripe. For fresh fruit tea in JC, this is still my favorite spot. Get the seasonal fruit drinks while they're available. And you might get lucky and see the cute guy working behind the counter. read more

Rui Tea is my latest obsession in this extremely hot weather. I've tried their Watermelon Bobo, Pineapple and Passion fruit Bobo and Orange DongDong. All of these beverages are amazing. I highly recommend the Orange DongDong during warm days. They also have Buy1 Get 1 offer for Orange DongDong on UberEats via delivery. Definitely try this out. read more

Stopped by Rui Tea and decided to try their Mango Sago drink since it looked refreshing and was one of their popular options. Overall, it was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. The mango flavor was there but felt a bit artificial and bland, and the sago pearls were slightly uneven in texture. The presentation was nice and the drink looked appealing, but the overall taste didn't quite hit the mark compared to other mango-based drinks I've had elsewhere. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself was clean and bright, and service was friendly and quick, so no complaints there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're nearby and craving something fruity, it's worth trying once, but for the price and taste, there are probably better mango drinks around. read more

Rui Tea - Mango Sago - Bubble Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Overall: F // 1 star HeyTea, but worse, and available in Jersey City, was my old opinion. Their mango drinks just have a worse command in picking sourcing ripe and sweet mangoes of the right softness; there is more filling in their drink that makes it more like a meal and less like a drink; and the slush is noticeably more icy and unrefined. On top of this, I stopped going a few months ago because one of the staff members dropped a huge stack of cups onto the ground, and then proceeded to restack them as if these are perfectly clean to use for the next drink. Incoming health hazard, thank you. Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: -2 Menu: E Overall: 1 star Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats read more

I'm not sure what happened with Rui's quality but it's very noticeable within the past 6 or so months. Most recently ordered a go to, mango sago with creama and it tasted bad. Straight blended ice with creama. For $10 not including tip it feels like a robbery read more

This Tea place is officially my new go-to spot after a meal. A friend recommended it as the "perfect sweet tea place" and they weren't wrong! I tried the Mango Bobo (Coco)--a dreamy blend of mango and coconut that's refreshing, fulfilling, and not heavy at all. As a coconut fan, this was spot-on for me. The price is on the higher side, but honestly worth every sip. Pro tip: add the cheese foam topping (+$1)--it gives your drink a fun, creamy kick right from the first sip. They've also got black tapioca, sago, and you can adjust your ice levels, which is a nice touch. Overall, a quirky little treat that feels like dessert without the food coma. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute storefront![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love how Rui Tea uses fresh fruits and has many non dairy options. I ordered the Black Grape Cheese, and it was very delicious and light! The service was extremely quick as well. Will definitely come back to try their other flavors! read more

Really delicious fruit tea spot. I love that they have a mix of caffeinated and non-caffeinated options. They use fresh fruits instead of sugary syrups and you can adjust sweetness level to your liking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rui tea is a little tucked away so it's a if-you-know-you-know kind of place. Really worth a stop though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can either order on the screen or with a person behind the counter if you have questions. This is going to be my first stop next time I'm in the area. read more

Got a peach drink here - it was okay. The customer service was bad. My friend was trying to ask questions about drink options and the man working behind the counter just dismissed her and told her to use the kiosk to order. My friend had already checked the kiosk but the option to order a specific drink was not available. She tried to get his attention again but but he ignored her. The other friend I was with was actually trying to order a drink they had on the physical menu but did not show in the kiosk but again, he was just told to use the kiosk and that everything is there in a dismissive tone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If i had not ordered a drink already I would have just left. It would be understandable if they were extremely busy but there were only 2 other customers in the store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This sparkling orange espresso drink is unreal. Amazingly delicious, perfect for summer and the espresso tastes incredible with the orange juice and sparkling magic that they make it with.

Stumbled upon this place after exploring another part of downtown Jersey City. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cutesy and set up as a grab and go storefront.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the Thai iced tea and super fruit tea which were both very refreshing and amazing. They do let you adjust the sugar levels (I wish more places allowed this). You order on the kiosks they have set up but the turnaround time was quick. Check it out! read more

How did I JUST discover this place? Came here twice. Tried the taro boba, mango coco with tapioca and a persimmon slush. The persimmon slush was definitely the best. It's not often you get to try persimmons, these were ripe and delicious. The slush was slightly watery, maybe milky? I would have preferred more persimmon. Their "regular" sweetness isn't sweet at all so just a heads up. The first time I went I thought it would be too sweet and ordered 1/2 sweetness but it wasn't sweet at all. The taro is too thick. Was told to move with a straw but it didn't work. My bf had to ask them to manually shake it with a spoon. I like that the taro is natural but it shouldn't be THAT thick. There has to be a way to dilute it. Overall decent boba place if you're around. Offering organic milk is a nice touch. But the service leaves much to be desired, there's no warmth. No greeting. No welcomes. No smiles. Cold service and cold environment. You place your order on the screens and just wait for your order. Boom. Bye. read more

Came to this place based on the reviews and I liked it. The man behind the counter was helpful in explaining their menu of drinks. I went with the special mango bobo and was very happy with the fresh mango chunks and the boba. It was a light, refreshing drink on a hot summer evening, which was exactly what I was craving! I will be back for more. read more

I was less than impressed with the tea shop in downtown Jersey City. It is more of a grab-and-go storefront as it is very long and narrow. There are a few chairs in the far corner, but most of the shop is dominated by the counter. They have self-service kiosks and do allow you to customize the amount of ice in your drink, but not the amount of sugar level. The crystal boba was cut into small cubes rather than round so it was not as easy to drink through the straw. I did like how the lids were the re-sealable kind. I got the Thai iced tea ($6.25) and was surprised at how small the regular/medium size order was. It is much smaller than the sizes in other shops in the area. About 20 minutes later, some sort of thin oily layer had begun to separate on the top of the drink. I've never had this happen before with bubble tea so am not sure if it was a problem with an ingredient gone bad or the mixing process or what it was. read more

Mediocre service (think awkward teenage girls), but banging persimmon tea. I think this is the only boba shop I've ever been to that offers fresh persimmon tea. I'd overlook bad service from Hades himself if it meant getting more of that persimmon--we came here 3 times in one week just for it! Hurry, though, it's seasonal. read more

Rating: 3.5/5 Not my favorite bubble tea spot, but not bad. Drinks I've tried: - Thai iced tea (2/5) : I got this through a Buy One, Get One free offer. The drink was watered down, not much Thai Iced Tea flavor. - Mango Bobo (3/5): I ordered this thinking it would be comparable to Mango Mango's coconut smoothie-o given the similar ingredients, but the two drinks are pretty different. The Mango Bobo was more liquidy vs. Mango Mango's slush, though this one had a lot of mango chunks on the bottom. - Osmanthus oolong milk tea (3.5/5): Good tea flavor, though note there are small pieces of flower petals in the drink. - Pink salt green milk tea (4/5): This was my favorite drink of the ones I tried. Good tea flavor. The pink salt is unique. read more

So after a wonderful dinner I was looking for something sweet but not heavy. I found this place and immediately love the menu. All drink ingredients are fresh fruit or housemade with little syrup or powder stuff. Fresh taro & purple yam mixture for milk tea?!? Come on!! Upon entry, I noted that the place was clean and bright. Little quaint, tucked away around the corner of Provost Street. Immediately I was undecided due to too many choices I love. We were greeted immediately by the cashier/barista. She was helpful to answer our questions since it was our first time there. Since my friend never had real taro or purple yam, the cashier were generous and gave her tasting of both ingredients. She preferred people yam... Taro all the way for me. Lol I end up ordering the cheese foam mango sago (tapioca, not boba) slush with 70% sugar. In the mood for fruity. So.... Perfect amount of sugar with the savory from the cheese foam. Nice sips with bits of mango, sago, with the lightly tang foam all swirl in my mouth. Highly recommended. The place is small but since it's Monday night we were able to sit at a little booth table & high chairs and hung for about an hour. It's a take out/to go place but they also have outdoor seating that would be great on a warm afternoon. When I'm in Jersey City again, I'll make sure to stop by this place again for quality Asian bubble drink. Definitely going to have the taro milk with Boba next time. In also asking the staff team to consider an alternative milk just for indiviually like me... Maybe almond or soy? Come support this small business. Love them! read more

The milk tea is smooth, creamy, and not too sweet--just right. Absolutely delicious, I'll definitely come back for more!

Very good. My favorite are 桂花酒酿冰奶 and 杨枝甘露. Bright weekend with a cup of happy water ;)

Rui Tea has some different teas on the menu which I wanted to try out to switch it up a bit. I enjoyed both the lychee tea and mango slush with sago. I love that they use fresh fruits like the lychee in the tea and the mango slush tasted very fresh. read more

I don't know why some of the reviews are so bad. They definitely don't deserve 1 star and while I saw people complain about the customer service, who cares as long as the drink is good. My friend and I got the Osmanthus oolong milk tea and mango bobo (coco): The mango boba (coco) 10/10 stars. So much toppings and not too sweet. The osmanthus was not the best so I would not recommend it. But their tea jelly was good. read more

Rui Tea had such high quality bubble tea! I was so impressed by not only the huge variety of options here, but by the quality of the bubble tea drink. I had there Wayermelon Boba and I normally ask for 50% sugar, but they don't add any sugar to this drink and it was still amazing and sweet - that shows you they really take time in crafting their drinks. All ingredients used felt all natural - their boba is a different, but really tasty. I highly recommend if you're in the mood for boba to come here! read more

Really good bubble tea with nice sturdy cups! I got the Thai tea and my friend got the regular boba tea. Even though I didn't get to choose the sugar level (the only reason for 1 star less), the Thai tea tasted very good and wasn't too sugary. It didn't taste artificial and was well made. I sipped my friend's regular tea which had more options to customize for sugar and add ons, and it was also made really well. The service was quick and friendly. We even got to taste the taro and purple yam concentrate they use for milk. I would definitely come back! read more

They have a really cool cup that is somewhat reusable. I made the mistake of getting a non fruit flavored boba. It looks like their specialty is fresh fruit juices. They have boxes of mangos here, which I'll probably order next time. The shop is small and doesn't really have seats. Easy place to just order to go. The kiosk to order has rewards points with your phone number, but I think it's only geared towards IPhone users. Boba is Q and chewy. Maybe I should have used more sugar in my options for the coffee boba since it tasted kind of strange. read more

You can tell they definitely use natural ingredients here, and I love that. We came here randomly, and it doesn't taste like your average traditional boba, but it's really quite good. The drinks are refreshing and I grew to like it more the more I had. That was the case for the drink pictured, but I think one of their lime drinks wasn't as good. Lime just gets bitter over time though, so that's not their fault. The employees were also very friendly! Definitely worth a try if you're nearby! read more

This is my absolute favorite bubble tea shop! The tea flavor is always strong and fresh because they actually brew it from real tea leaves--no powders here. You can really taste the difference. They also use fresh fruit in their drinks, and their milk is organic, which makes everything taste even better (and a little healthier too). It just feels like they really care about quality. If you're a bubble tea lover and want something that tastes authentic and refreshing, this place is a must-try! read more

This very small shop is new and gets busy given the residential area. I'm sure they're working through growing pains, so keep in mind that orders are slow (even if you pre-order online they don't always see they got an order). Hopefully things will improve from a logistical perspective. The drinks are good, I usually get something fruity or just the classic milk tea with boba. The price tag is a little bit steep for the amount of product but not super crazy. Additionally, is it weird to say maybe the cups are too fancy? They are really really good cups and probably don't need to be that nice if it could lower the overall cost. read more
