Tea King

Im always going here. If ykykyk. They have a glorious tea menu and the best fresh fruit selection ever. Sugar level is adjustable from 0%-100% for most everything, but u can go 120%, so if ur a sweet tooth or a tea fiend, its the spot! I love their fresh taro so much!! Fresh fresh, like root taro. Assam, Thai with Milk Cap, and Watermelon tea are favs!! summer go-to! and always cool rotating specials!!

I was working on Dexter and obviously started craving boba! I've passed by this place so many times, but only stopped by today. I got the regular sized strawberry matcha with boba and it was yummy! The strawberry syrup was unique as it had a bit of a *crunch* to it, but the chewy boba lowkey cancelled it out. They also told us they were out of boba and then said it would be ready in 3 minutes!! The workers were really nice and our drinks came out quickly. The cafe is small with a lot of cute Chinese LNY decorations and merch :-) I paid: $9 (including tip) which is a bit much... but overall really solid stop in SLU!!

Not sure if we ordered on a off night, or whether the tea is just always so MEH. We ordered a black sesame and hojicha milk tea, both were super sweet, very watery (see phoot), and the boba was very hard. A little disappointed, especially with great bbt places nearby in SLU.

Tea King is a great spot for boba lovers, especially if you enjoy Thai tea and milk tea pudding. Their Thai tea is strong, creamy, and well-balanced—not overly sweet, with a rich flavor that hits just right. The milk tea pudding is smooth, silky, and infused with their signature tea blend, making it a perfect dessert on its own or as a topping. You can customize sweetness and ice, which is a big plus. The shop is cozy with friendly service, ideal for takeout. If you’re into classic flavors with quality ingredients, Tea King won’t disappoint.

Tea King makes our little neighborhood feel cute and lively. I go here multiple times a week. Love their milk tea, seasonal fruit tea, and various matcha drinks. I love that you can get matcha with seasonal fruit too. Do not sleep on their persimmon drinks in December!
