I really enjoyed my first visit here. I was too engaged in conversation and tea sampling to take…read morepics. Ugh... next time! As a former tea shop owner, I'm a bit of a tea snob. I met the young woman who owns the shop along with her mom. She is really delightful and helpful. I bought a few bags of tea to try along with a gift item from a local artisan/vendor. The owners are very supportive of local artisans and businesses which is a big plus for me! They put a nice selection of their creations in their tea shop! I also got a hot tea to go. It was steeped well. Not bitter so they know their serving size, proper water temp, and steep times based on the type of tea leaf or herb. It's an art! The selection of tea is very good. Several different kinds. Black, green, white, roobois (red leaf that's naturally decaffeinated), mate (a couple of interesting ones) , and herbal (not actually tea but everyone thinks it is and it's great. Also no caffeine). I wish they carried some Pu-Erh tea but it's a strong tea and not something just anyone is going to be looking for so it's understandable. A girl can still hope! It's a really nicely decorated and clean place. Has a great vibe and I look forward to going back again. On my way out, the owner said I qualified with my purchase to get a free handmade crochet tea cozy! I got one with a bright sun wearing sun glasses! So darling. I had a hard time and almost chose a lady bug or peace sign but that sun made me smile. I'm so glad I found this local, small business and look forward to visiting again. Please go support a local, small business and taste and learn about tea! Tea is a cup of life!

I chose oat milk over two percent. My son selected a vanilla oolong latte with a few extra pumps of vanilla. His youthfulness allowed him to indulge in the two percent. Both were iced, absolutely delicious, and perfect for hot day. We enjoyed our lattes in the super cozy seating area, and each of us selected a book from the ample little library to read, relax, and refresh. Come see Lauren, learn a lot or a little about tea, and definitely enjoy a sippable treat!

It takes up most of the store and is easily bigger than the back counter area. Seemed a little out of place, but who am I to judge, i'm more mentioning it as it almost gave me pause. Wanting an after dinner treat I walked the few miles here and sitting in a strip mall I was expecting more cafe vibes rather than chuck e cheese. Granted there weren't any kids here, the rest of the decor was pretty appropriate to a boba cafe. Menu was large, clear. Prices were affordable (aside from the disproportionately high tax rate). Service was friendly and quick. Serving sizes were large, weren't overloaded with ice and foams. I was hoping to get offerings on sweetness levels as Boba places are notoriously sweet or even caffeine offering levels. I was hoping for the hokaido sugar milk tea, but went with the milk tea with the flan and boba which was a nice change of getting just boba added. I'll definitely be returning as it's the only boba place in walking distance.

Despite being metal, the chairs were still comfortable enough to sit in for a full hour and a half while I chatted with my friend.

Overall I definitely enjoyed hanging out here with my friend!

She also got the chocolate Hong Kong waffle with ice cream and enjoyed it. I would have liked to try some of their food, but wasn't able to during this visit (through no fault of Tsaocaa). The plushies and other merch they had was very cute and I'll very likely buy something the next time I visit. The decor was also lovely, with some very happy plants in the windows. The staff were also friendly and gave me no reason to doubt their skills. My only complaint is that the seating was just shy of being comfortable. My friend said the bench seating was a bit hard, and while the chair I sat in was soft, the arm rests made it a little too narrow for me (I'm plus size and have chronic pain, so finding truly comfortable seating can be a challenge at most places. As a note, anyone larger than a women's 3X probably wouldn't be able to comfortably sit in the chairs at all and would need to sit on the bench). Overall it was a pleasant experience, and I plan to go again!

Now on a great positive note: nice space with a comfy corner with comfy chairs tucked in the back side of the shop, and a side door to its outside patio seating area. The Revo freeze is the only frozen drink they offer and was quite good.
