Tea King is a small boba shop with a good variety of tea, including Tie Guan Ying, and Four Seasons Tea. They kind of straddle that space between a full fledged tea house and a run of the mill boba shop. They pre brew two of their most popular teas, but if you order some others, I believe they fresh brew it in an espresso machine I can't confirm this, but given that they have an espresso machine behind they counter, it would make sense). I got one drink, the store special, as I always do when I go for the first time to any boba place:TK Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba $6.30) This is a pre brewed black and oolong tea blend. They add sugar syrup and half and half as they make your...
One of the best boba spots I've ever been to. Such a cool aesthetic and the drinks are fresh. You can tell there aren't weird artificial powders or flavors. The milk teas actually taste like the tea. Everything is so high quality from the ingredients, to the cups and even the printed seal. Every detail is very well thought out. I would come here more often if it was closer. I hope they expand out in Bellevue some day :
As a boba lover, I’d say this place is the best I’ve had. I tried their ceremonial matcha milk tea boba and it was delicious! The boba was chewy and it had a strong brown sugar taste, which I really enjoy. The matcha and the sweetness were perfect even at 50%. The only downside I’d say is finding parking for this place. But I’d still would come regardless!
The prices are on the higher side—I paid almost $10 for just one drink, tip included. Nearby spots usually charge between $7 and $8. However, the ambiance is fantastic, and the drinks are genuinely enjoyable. The staff is always friendly and eager to recommend new drinks whenever I come by. They also have a great selection of interesting flavors.

Their December 2023 seasonal drink (persimmon mountain tea is probably the best bubble tea I’ve had in my life (and I’ve had a lot of bubble tea! . Please make it a permanent addition to the menu ?I can also recommend the coconut sago drinks.
My friend took us to her favorite boba spot in Seattle! I got the Jasmine Milk Cap Tea with boba which came out to be around $6.50. The boba texture was 10/10 and the tea was pretty bomb too! No complaints here would come back.
This might just be my new favorite spot for boba! If you have the chance, definitely try the seasonal persimmon drink—it’s absolutely delicious, especially paired with grass jelly!
Their watermelon coconut drink was amazing but the milk tea was not sweet enough. Ordered a regular sugar for both but they had different level of sweetness.

Finally, a tea shop in SLU. Their signature tea and Kiwi fruit tea are my favorites!
Amazing boba! Glad to have a shop like this in the neighborhood
