OOLONG JASMINE TEA:

Rating: 4/5
The Jasmine tea was the unique form of tea within the packages in the kit. This tea is floral, fragrant, and light flavors. The quality of tea leaves showcased the fragrance in this drink. The tea did not create intense color, and the drink reached a pale white color, slightly more yellow compared to milk. I had to adjust and add more sugar to this tea for added sweetness. I also topped the drink with lavender for added floral taste. This drink was so unique and I enjoyed trying to make a unique drink that I usually find at Boba restaurants!

THAI TEA:

Rating: 4.5/5
The Thai Tea happened to be one of my favorites of the bunch. Thai tea is a black tea that has added red food coloring incorporated into the tea. The tea was flavorful, caffeinated, and not too sweet. The bright orange color occurred within 15 minutes of making the tea. I added whipped cream on top of this drink to add some sweetness to the drink. Thai tea is perfect to pair with a spicy dish because of its rich flavors. This tea was a family favorite and was much tastier than the Thai drinks I would find at the restaurant.

BLACK TEA:

Rating: 5/5
The black tea had all the classic flavors you look for in milk tea Boba. The black tea was made out of loose leaf teas, which brought more depth and flavor to the tea. The black tea had a nutty taste that worked perfectly with milk and cream added to the tea. I used brown sugar to add more sweetness to the tea. Additionally, I added evaporated milk to the tea for added creaminess. This tea had all the classic flavors that you look for at your local Boba restaurant. I would also suggest adding spices, such as cinnamon, clove, and cardamom to provide added depth to the drink. This drink was delicious and only took a few minutes to make!

TAPIOCA PEARLS:

Rating: 3/5
The Tapioca pearls came with instructions that allow a cook time of over 60 minutes. Although I understand professional chefs may indulge in taking the time to cook Boba properly, the length to make this Boba was too time-consuming. Additionally, I would have preferred the Boba to be packaged in smaller servings, so they can be opened whenever preferred. Because the package was so large, the tea had to be made in large quantitates, which made it challenging to try different flavors and options. Additionally, I would have preferred the Boba to expand more and for it to have a softer texture. The Boba was a bit too chewy for my preference. The tapioca pearls tasted like how standard Boba should taste, but I would have preferred for the pearls to have a more premium taste, since it is such an essential part of the drink.

OVERALL:

The Boba kit had everything you needed to prepare three various teas of your choice. This tea would be great to make for large parties of people interested in learning the art of making Boba milk tea. I enjoyed how the kit came with straws, various teas, tapioca pearls, and recipe card instructions. I really enjoyed how this Boba kit allows customers to adjust their drinks based on the sweetness they prefer. However, the Boba kit placed in one large bag made it difficult to portion out the serving sizes and allow me the chance to take my time trying out different recipes. While the tea had various unique flavors and tastes, the Boba quality could have been portioned and made more accessible for people to use over and over again without it becoming time-consuming. Overall, this Boba kit was enjoyable to use and tasty to drink with many people. I would recommend this Boba kit for people interested in learning the art behind making Boba drinks and are interested in tasting premium teas.
