I Bling in My Green Tea

Tapping into my Asian roots I decided to venture to Chinatown in Las Vegas to check out the spots in that area of town. I am a big fan of boba teas so I decided to hit up a place called Tea Station(signs says Tea Planet). To my surprise this spot not only offered a plethora of boba teas but also some very interesting hot teas. They had everything from a dragonwell green tea to a rose oolong tea. Also Tea Station had every boba tea flavor you could think of on the menu. You may be wondering what boba tea is. Boba tea can be a milk tea or regular tea with boba, which are chewy tapioca balls. Variations on boba tea have also been created such as iced coffee with boba and fruit smoothies with boba.

The inside of Tea Station in Las Vegas is Asian themed with teas and tea pots lining the walls. Asian themed music plays in the background setting the mood for a very relaxed experience. You can either sit down and have the tea served to you or get it to go. Hot teas come in a tea pot, and boba teas come in a glass. The amount of tea you get for the price is great. One pot of tea costing me 5 bucks allowed me to fill up my tea cup about 5 or 6 times. The boba teas, which were also around 5 bucks, come in a tall and large glass. Tea Station also offers a variety of finger foods to go with your tea. If you are feeling adventurous try out the squid jerky or the green onion pancakes with your cup of tea.

The teas themselves are very flavorful without tasting like hot water with a tinge of tea flavor. When I went to Tea Station I opted for the Dragonwell Green Tea being a green tea fan. Most green teas I have at other tea places are very bland and do not have flavor to them at all. At Tea Station the green tea was flavorful and only got bitter by the end of the pot. I unfortunately did not have the boba teas, but my friends did. They vouched that these boba teas were some of the better ones they have had in town.

Tea Station is a great place to start or end your night on the town. It is located in Chinatown right next to the Las Vegas Strip at 4355 Spring Mountain Road. If you are with your friends or that special someone looking for a place to go before or after a crazy night in Las Vegas, head on over to Tea Station for a change from the coffee house.
