r/boba

I’m a complete newcomer to boba. what is the most beginner friendly flavor at 7leaves cafe. what are some no’s that i will not like it.

Thanks and have a great day!

I heard those are the boba capitals of the US, so where should I go to find that out for a fact?

And what would you say I should order?

So ive made tapioca pearls 2 before. Randomly decided to purchase a bag of them cause i love boba and still using the same pack of boba sized white pearls that turn translucent when boiled. Now my problem is that most sources say to boil for 40 minutes, cool for 15 than your done right? Well i end up needing to boil and cool them over and over again before i can get rid of the starchy middle thats left over and tbh it just ends up being a lot of effort. Also i am woefully unaware of how much boba to add and end up making a ridiculous amount each time. Any suggestions?

Oh also has anyone tried the j-basket instant boba kit?

It’s a pretty chill job overall but I just wanted to mention

Every single location I’ve worked at

My coworkers have very weird or bitchy energy

Literally every single time. I’ve never had good coworkers, FRIENDLY coworkers working at a Boba shop.

Everyone has their own little friends or group and they will look at you like you’re weird for just wanting to start a conversation.

Order you around, etc.

I’ve looked at older posts asking this same question, but none of them are specific enough. I need to know exactly how much tea I should be using (like how many teaspoons/tablespoons/ounces?) if I’m just making 1 serving. I saw a lot of people saying how much to use to make like, a gallon but I just need to know how much to use for a single serving. i also wonder if there’s a specific brand of assam tea that is known for being the best? I’m going to use assam tea since I’ve read that’s the kind boba shops usually use. I also don’t know if I should be using milk or half and half? I’ve seen so many different recipes, I really just want to make it as close to how it’s made in shops as I can!

I’m looking for banana milk boba in NYC, I’ve looked at some of the most popular boba tea shops here but I’m not finding banana milk anywhere ? I had Boba Guys in SF and been craving it ever since i got back, please tell me where to goo !

Just started working at a boba shop and it isn’t looking good.
Every-time I make a drink, I have an anxious feeling that the customers are waiting for a while and they will give a bad response. As a result, this makes me messes up drinks and ended up doing it again. This happened twice for me. I have remembered most of the recipe, but when they order the ones that I don’t remember or haven’t done it, I get that anxious feeling again. Can anybody help me overcome this? I know the answer might just be to remember the recipe, but even for the ones that are ingrained to my brain, I still am afraid to mess up.

Going on a birthday trip to Portland Oregon next week, and I'm super interested in hitting up some local spots for Boba if there are any good ones.

Any suggestions?

oh my goodness i have never felt so much love and devotion for a drink.. it's honestly just so sensational, the lime zest on top of the slight salt & creaminess of the guava flavored cheese foam topper and the amazingly fragrant jasmine tea base... icl it's honestly like drinking a perfume and i'm so so addicted!! the drink experience is genuinely complete w a top note middle note and base note and everything!!! i'm sipping on one right now b/c i'm in china trying their version of this and it's just as good as i remembered from back in the states... (& about half the price of what i would pay in the states as well) getting a sip of both the top foam and the tea in one sip is genuinely heaven as someone who LOVES fragrant tea and a blending of flavors!!! i'm begging y'all if u haven't tried this drink and have a heytea near u literally RUN and get one, imo it's LEAGUES above any other kind of flavor profiles u can get from any other boba shop around bc u can honestly just tell that the tea leaves and flavors are naturally derived and don't leave any weird artificial sour tastes in ur mouth imo. thanks for reading & that's all folks i just love this drink so much #heytealover4ever
