TP TEA San Mateo 65 East 4th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401

"My friend recommended me TP tea in Cupertino but I didn’t get a chance to try it so I ended with the San Meto one. I ordered tie guan yin milk tea with 30% and less ice. It has no tea taste only milk and sugar. Very disappointed. But their boba is chewy. My friend ordered a fantastic fruit tea I tried it also. I have to say if you like fresh fruit tea then I don’t recommend. Same problem: no tea taste but strong passion fruit syrup."

"TLDR: high quality tasty tea with great boba I got the tie guan yin milk tea with boba for $6 and it came out within 2 minutes. The milk tea was silky and creamy, the boba was soft and chewy. The tea flavor was very strong and even at 50%, the sweetness was a bit strong but still very good and enhanced the flavor of the drink. Would definitely come back to try some other drinks"

"One of the most popular boba shops in Downtown San Mateo. There’s always a line whenever I came here i. The past, so I downloaded Snackpass, an app that they’re associated with, and ordered ahead of time. I love the milk tea here, not so sweet, and you can really taste the tea. My favorite used to be their Jasmine milk tea, but now it’s Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess/roasted Oolong) milk tea."

"Got the Tie Guan Yin 鐵觀音 ( Iron Goddess/ roasted oolong ) milk tea with 15% sugar and no ice with boba. Solid great tea taste and you can really taste the tea ( tea is not over steeped and not astringent/bitter), with a good balance with milk. The boba tastes really good with just the right softness and chewy, overall an excellent well balanced boba milk tea. This was one of my favorite milk tea brands 茶湯會when I tried it in Taiwan."

"This small place has one table outside and on the inside there is no sitting area. You can order from the cashier of from a tablet. There is a variety of drinks and options to add to your drink. The service was fast and drink was good, specially the boba. Boba was very chewy and soft, just perfect."
