Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden Introduces Flavorful Boba Tea Line-Up

Afterschool Boba Club In The Works For Teachers and Students

Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden’s New Boba Drinks

Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden, located at 726 Montana Ave, a haven of delightful beverages and relaxing ambiance, is stepping into the realm of boba tea, known by various names such as Pearl Tea, Bubble Tea, and Boba Milk Tea. After months of meticulous testing and innovation, the tea bar unveils a brand new boba milk tea menu to tantalize the taste buds of both adults and children.

Traditionally, boba tea has been a beloved choice for many, and Buena Vida is embracing this trend with their unique offerings. Catering to adult preferences, the tea bar has crafted an array of adult boba drinks, including Vanilla Black Milk Tea with coffee-flavored boba, Jasmine Green Tea with lychee pearls, and Matcha Milk Tea with brown sugar boba. These choices cater to an adult palate by incorporating alternative milk, reducing sweeteners, and introducing unique ingredients like lychee and coffee pearls.

However, the recent closure of Menchie’s, located on the same corner, prompted Buena Vida to expand its offerings to children and teens as well. The result is a series of children and teen-centric boba drinks, each designed to capture the essence of youthful taste preferences. The menu features options such as Taro Milk Tea, Rooibos Milk Tea (both non-caffeinated), and Thai Milk Tea, offering sweeter and differently flavored choices.

Building on the success of their Cuppa Club, Buena Vida is introducing an after-school Boba Tea Club tailored for kids and teachers. While pricing details are still being finalized, the concept revolves around monthly subscriptions allowing customers to savor one boba milk tea daily.

The decision to incorporate boba into their menu was deeply rooted in Buena Vida’s cultural heritage. Tapioca boba pearls, a key component of boba tea, are traditionally made from cassava, which traces its origin back to Brazil. Buena Vida’s Puerto Rican and Cuban roots, where cassava is known as “yuca” and is a culinary staple, inspired the tea bar to honor their Latin-American heritage by introducing boba tea.

At Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden, boba tea enthusiasts, young and old, can embark on a flavorful journey that merges tradition with innovation. From classic boba flavors to new and enticing combinations, the tea bar’s boba tea line-up is set to delight the diverse palates of its patrons.
