Ten Drinks You NEED To Try at Ten One Tea House

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northeastern chapter.

As one of the most beautiful and Instagram-able drinks out there, boba (also known as bubble tea) is taking the world by storm. Boba is a drink that originated in the 1980s in Taichung, Taiwan. It gets its name from the pearls made of tapioca starch which are most often added to milk tea, but can also be added to herbal tea, slushes, coffee, and more.

Whether you’re a boba newbie or you’ve tried nearly every drink out there, Ten One Tea House should be on everyone’s list of Boston boba shops to try! This shop is located on Newbury Street and is home to a wide array of unique drinks. From classic milk tea to colorful blends of osmanthus and oolong, this boba tea shop’s drinks are flavorful and beautiful. Sweet, sour, bitter, or warm–this place has it all. Here are some of the most unique and delicious drink selections the shop offers:

1. Brown Sugar Boba With Fresh Milk

Sweet and homey, the blend of warm brown boba covered in brown sugar with cold milk tea is the perfect combination.

2. Grapefruit Green Tea

Beautiful and tasty–the bitterness of fresh grapefruit juice perfectly compliments the flavors of green tea.

3. Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea

Tie Guan Yin is a variant of oolong tea, which comes from the same plant used to make green and black tea. If you’re looking for something a little different than classic milk tea, this is the drink for you!

4. Lavender Forest

Calming and beautiful with its reddish purple color, this fragrant and floral has notes of lavender, lemon, and honey.

5. Rose Yakult Slush

Fruity and floral, this drink is perfect for the summer and tastes almost like strawberry ice cream.
