I get the message about making sure you visit the right places.
Now I just need to figure out where the right place is located (TPE is out of the question for now
) and I might have to break down and try one.
Cholula, your in Socal and you haven't ventured into one of those places?
Well, if you're in my neck of the woods (LA/OC), PM me and I'll take you to one of them or direct you to one.
Some of them in Socal (the chains) are pretty consistent; Lollicup, Tapioca Express, and Tea Station.
Personally, I find Tea Station probably the best tasting. Most places also offer pretty good snacks too. It is true about the freshness; the fresh ones are just chewy and not slimy. Old ones tend to be slimy and hard. The ones that are dedicated to making the boba/tea are usually the ones with the freshest and most variety of flavors.
It really isn't as bad as some make it out to be.
