The bubble tea was actually very good. I got my usual,black tea (cold w/pearls), no milk. A bit sweet (which is fine) and the bubbles were firm (which is the way I like them.) The tea itself had a good flavor. I didn't try a flavor...although kumquat was tempting. The people were very nice. They shops been there 6 months. So, now I have 2 favs, Tenren (Rockville) and Tea Neck Court. Not an I-cream fan.

My 6-year old enjoys bubble tea shakes too. Altho Ten Ren has a lot of different loose teas to buy & pretty tea sets. But thanks for the notice of the Monkey Mall place - I'll check that out. (I still can't get into calling it Westfield Shoppingtown!)

Tenren and that "Monkey Mall" place have better tea. :) Mon May 12 10:58:53 -0700 2003 896858 0 Jayask 2 897447 Yesterday I tried the almond flavor,yum. their teas are really sweet but im sure they can put less glucose syrup if u want.
