First Time Getting Bubble Tea in Kingston

Whether you have a passion for bubble tea, or you’re from somewhere that makes amazing bubble tea and you’re absolutely craving it, we’re here to spill the tea on where to get your bubble tea!

You may be wondering in what world would I ever find bubble tea in Kingston, but believe it or not, Kingston is home to one of the highest restaurants per capita of any city in Canada. So, it would actually be quite fair to assume that you can find bubble tea in Kingston.

Now, in terms of where to get your bubble tea, there are two places we recommend you boba lovers to try out: i-Tea and Sharetea.

i-Tea

i-Tea is a Kingston based bubble tea brand that comes from the home of bubble tea itself, Taiwan, and their goal is to share their love for bubble tea with Kingston. What makes i-Tea’s bubble tea so special is they brew their own fresh tea, which makes their bubble tea taste that much better! When it comes to variety and customization of your bubble tea, i-Tea is the place to go, as they offer an array of bubble teas with all sorts of toppings. On their menu, you can find milk tea, flavoured ice tea, fresh tea, latte, mousse, snow bubble, yogurt, smoothie, and slush. With these drinks, you can customize them to your preference with toppings, such as tapioca pearls, lychee jelly, grass jelly, mango jelly, brown sugar jelly, red bean, pudding, aloe vera, popping boba, or malt. Not only does i-Tea give you different topping options, but they also give you the option to choose what percentage of sugar you want in your drink and how much ice you want in your drink. If you’ve never had bubble tea before, we would highly recommend for you to start off by ordering the signature milk tea with pearls. It is the common favourite across all bubble tea shops in the world and it is a must-try. However, if you aren’t a fan of milk tea, the flavoured ice teas are just as tasty. Our personal recommendation is to go for the peach green tea with pearls and if you’re feeling adventurous, ask for the lychee jelly topping as well!

Sharetea

For those of you who don’t know Sharetea, it is a bubble tea store that started in Taipei, Taiwan and has now opened many branches and franchises across the world in 15 countries. Similar to i-Tea, their drinks are made from high-quality tea leaves and selected ingredients shipped directly from Taiwan. Now, the reason why we recommend Sharetea is that they are already an established brand that is recognized for their bubble tea. Meaning that if you’re looking for bubble tea in Kingston, you cannot go wrong with the consistency that Sharetea provides. On their menu, you can find milk tea, fruit tea, creama, brewed tea, ice blended, fresh milk, yakult, house special, and seasonal drinks. At Sharetea, you can also customize your drinks with your choice of toppings, such as tapioca pearls, mini pearls, red bean, herb jelly, aiyu jelly, pudding, aloe vera, lychee jelly, and ice cream. If you’ve had Sharetea before in another city, you can expect to find the same type of quality at the Kingston branch and purchasing your regular bubble tea order should not be a problem. Once again, if you’ve never had bubble tea and you’re looking to become a boba lover, start off with the classic milk tea and tapioca pearls and then discover your personal favourite on the menu.
