we taste so you don't have to guess.

Every shop on this list is ranked on four things: tea quality, pearl texture, ingredient honesty, and whether we'd send a friend from out of town there. Chain or indie, famous or hidden — the ranking doesn't care.

We don't take sponsorships. We don't take comped drinks. The only currency that moves a rank is the drink itself — and now, your reviews.
