Bursts of texture

The wall-sized menu at T4. Tea For U is so extensive with an array of flavor combinations for boba teas, smoothies, slushies and milkshakes. So, where does someone like me, who is still new to the world of boba, even begin? Luckily, the choice was made easy by T4’s cute signage with a little, black-and-white bear promoting its newest creation: the Panda Milk Tea ($3.50 for a regular). Herbaceous Earl Grey tea is paired with plant-based milk and topped with a heaping scoop of black tapioca pearls. The tea’s milky color dotted with chewy boba moments not only makes for enjoyable bursts of texture between sips, but it really does resemble the friendly bear. 2212 16th Street, t4togo.com.
