Vegas - Seeking Pearl Tea

We'll have a car and are willing to drive about 10/15 min from the strip to get pearl tea. Any suggestions? I googled and Lollicup/Volcano were mentioned.

I like the basic jasmine tea with pearl but the tea should not be too sweet and the pearl should have a good consistency. Not too chewy or mushy.

Thanks!

    there's a tea store in the mandaly place ( across from the burger bar ), also a tea store in the fashion mall, i've been in the tea store located next to hue thai ( on spring mountain, just west of decatur - they have a very large tea selection and also a large selection of ginseng ( damn that stuff's expensive ! ) - sorry, i don't know if they have pearl...if you are staying at or near mandalay or the fashion mall, i suggest you visit the tea store's and if they don't have it, hopefully, they will point you in the right direction ...good luck !

      The Herb Store next to Hua Thai on Spring Mountain, DOES HAVE the Pearl Tea! Bought some there myself. We drink tea almost every night. They also have large bags of Whole Star Anise. They used to carry really big bags for only $6.00 each, but now the bags are smaller. Anyway, I simmer the whole STAR ANISE in a pot for about an hour, makes great tea! So delicious! You can use it more than once too, will last a few times.
