My Order:
- Royal Earl Grey Milk Tea
- Large
- Honey Pearl
- 0% Sugar
- Less Ice
My wife wanted me to include this disclaimer: I drank this boba after getting my booster jab, so I might be slightly deranged.
Whale Tea always has excellent toppings and they didn’t disappoint. The honey pearls were very chewy and squishy. They were softer than I usually like, but I think that was a result of the honey soaking into the pearls. I really enjoyed the honey taste! It paired well with the milk tea.
The earl grey milk tea was citrussy, acidic, and had a slight hint of tannins. It wasn’t too strong- the roasted tea flavor was dominated by the citrus. Drink was quite creamy as well.
This was a pleasant and delicious milk tea. The only reason I’m not giving it a higher rating is because I like being punched in the face and this drink didn’t do that. I would highly recommend this milk tea to all. I feel it is a milk tea of the people.
