Curious about what freshly made boba tastes like? Stop by Tru Tea to savor best-quality boba made from scratch! (Free parking is conveniently located next door at Pasadena Inn.)
Tru Tea showcases its specialties (drinks, cookies, etc.) with natural ingredients and attention to details. The perfectly chewy boba complemented Earl Gray Milk Tea so well. In general it's best not to leave beverage overnight, but because I ordered the sizeable drink after a full meal and couldn't finish it, the next day I microwaved the leftover boba which did not lose its chewiness and flavor at all - the same cannot be said for pre-made, pre-packaged boba.
Peach Oolong (Formosa Oolong + peach + agave) was aromatic and refreshing too. (This is another reason I couldn't finish the Earl Gray Milk Tea. Peach Oolong was also of generous portion.) As specified on Tru Tea's website, all fruit teas are brewed in-house with real fruit infusion and sweetened with organic agave nectar.
I once counted the number of eateries that served boba tea on my way to work (15-minute commute) - there were about 12! SoCal is laden with tea establishments. Competition could not be more fierce. What motivates me to leave this review is not only Tru Tea proprietor's enthusiasm but also the sincere attempt to differentiate products and services! read more
