Shincha Tea

This was our first time to Shincha and I was pleasantly surprised with the specialty drinks menu. It was hard to pick but I got Dragonwell which has hojicha and it was not too sweet. The chocolate syrup and the jello makes a great combo. I'd love to come back to try their other specialty drinks.

This is my new favorite boba spot. I never really gave it a second glance whenever I passed, because, I mean, it's in between Planned Parenthood and Chuck E Cheese! Lol. However, after some prodding from my partner we stopped in here one Saturday afternoon. I ordered an Osmanthus Rush, and my partner ordered a Winterberry Snow. The cashier was very friendly and also agreed to use my reusable boba jar with a stainless steel straw I had brought(save the turtles folks!) Our drinks cams out after about 3 minutes. My Osmanthus was delicious and flavorful, without being overly sweet. Also, the combination of jellies and boba they added was spot on and complimented each other well. My partner's Winterberry Snow was also delicious, and weirdly reminded me of butterbeer and rice krispies, in a good way. We spent about an hour entertaining ourselves playing battleship and sipping on our teas. The next week, we returned and ordered the same exact drinks, which were once again, really bomb, and we also orders two different flavors of jumbo chicken wings. I ordered the smokey beer chicken wings, and my partner orsered the spicy miso flavor. They were both served up after about 8 minutes, and were smoking hot. I appreciated that they clearly didn't skimp on the sauce. Though the chicken itself was cooked really well and tender, I did not like my beer wings at all. The flavor just really tasted like the wings had been dipped in beer and it was kind of gross. My partner's spicy miso wings were very delicious though, and luckily, since they were so generous with the sauce, I was able to use the sauce that had pooled in the bottom of his tray on my wings and salvage them. Im0'm eager to try their other chicken wings though, since like I said, the chicken itself was cooked really well, it was just that the sauce(for the Smokey Beer) was weird. I do prefer this as my regular boba spot from now on though.

It's never too crowded when I go which is a huge plus! The staff are friendly and try their best to accommodate any changes to your order. I love the Osmanthus Rush and the consistency of their toppings as the boba is always good and the jellies are just the right amount of firm. My friends enjoy the Assam milk tea, the Thai milk tea, and the matcha milk tea. Would recommend.

Love it here. My favorite is the match latte and I can always rely on this place to have it's drinks on point. Staff is really nice and I appreciate how they always make an effort to greet ppl when they come and go. They have a cute atmosphere with good lighting and a few tables. They also have t.v. screens where they let ppl play video games.

My friend and I came here after eating at boiling crab and we were wowed by this place. Love at first drink (we tried the matcha). Definitely coming back to this place for boba when we are in San Jose!
