The Tea Garden, with several locations throughout the metro, has played no small part in bringing the Taiwanese bubble tea craze to the Twin Cities. It's a hopping place serving a variety of hot and cold tea drinks, with bubbles and added flavors or without, as well as loose leafs available in bulk to go. Expect free wi-fi, occasional live music, local art, and a space that is a bit schizophrenically decorated, as if one decorator was going for eclectic elegance and another for well-worn campus-hang "charm." Most drinks are in the under-$5 range unless you get a little crazy with all the extras.
Some may say that the bubble tea trend has hit its peak and will soon be forgotten like Pepsi Clear and Orbitz. Is it merely a trend? Hardly. True bubble tea fanatics will always have an insatiable thirst for the beverage they affectionately refer to as boba. Clueless as to what bubble tea is? Start with marble-sized black pearls of tapioca, add tea or a thick fruit smoothie mixture, top it off with a special-sized straw, and you've got yourself a highly addictive, sugar-loaded beverage that will keep you buzzing like a bumblebee for the rest of the day. The Tea Garden has an excellent selection of bubble teas. Though the menu may be intimidating at first, an experienced drinker or your tea barista can help out. Popular mixes include the lavender tea latte, almond cherry shakes, and the fruit shakes, which can be as exotic as star fruit or salted plum, or as safe as strawberry and banana.
Who doesn't love tea, good place to sit and relax or pick up some good tea for later. A great place to be for tea lovers!
