Mango Green Tea – Cha for Tea

Cheers to finishing finals for this quarter! Here’s a celebratory drink for the beginning of winter break! 🙂

How we ended up deciding on Cha for Tea was actually kind of roundabout…First my dad went shopping today and suggested Cha for Tea as the “fried chicken place”, so then I told my mom he wanted to go. Then he said that it’s more up to my mom and I, so then she suggested 7 Leaves since my sister likes their drinks. Turns out, 7 Leaves didn’t have any boba available (what a shock), so my mom suggested Sunright since they have an online order. Well, Sunright didn’t have the Strawberry Frostie that my sister gets in stock, so then she didn’t know what to get. I told her Cha for Tea has an online order, so here we are. (Is this priming in action?)

Moving along, and moving on from the two drinks I normally get from Cha for Tea, I’m getting the Mango Green Tea today. Supposedly it’s Cha’s #1 iced tea, and back before quarantine happened, I remember trying it because Cha did free samples of some of its tea selections. It was really good and refreshing, and I may or may not have had multiple sample cups worth of tea…Is this being basic? Cha for Tea has a huge menu, so got a long way to go (even if I’m not trying everything)…

The drink is very good and just as expected! The mango flavor is very pronounced, so it’s a good iced tea if you like iced tea. I did get 3 pumps of sweetner, which should be the equivalent of half sugar, so it’s not overwhelmingly sweet, but still sweet from the mango. I’d consider even getting less sugar because of how sweet the mango is. Even though I did get the drink for the mango and not the green tea, I can’t taste the tea at all, so that could be both a good or bad thing, depending on how strong you like your green tea in iced fruity drinks. Overall, a good mango drink. Today’s boba was super soft and chewy, and goes along great with the drink. It’s on days like these or drinks like this when I don’t need inherently sweet boba because of the flavor of the drink. It do be like that sometimes. Oh yea, and I got a ton of boba today. 🙂
