the loose teas – foods

lp could not get over this place, so she went back the next day.
cindy was unbearably sweet and generous enough to cover the cost of her sandwich, being her first time trying the foods.
the cost of lp’s meal: 3.55$

it may not look like a lot, but it is definitely fulfilling.
on the left, homegrown sandwich, passion fruit green tea. on the right, flaming bird sandwich, milk tea.

the homegrown sandwich was the perfect choice for lunch on these lenten fridays-meat free and delicious. between two slices of toasted wheat bread, it’s stacked with a light cream cheese spread, alfalfa sprouts, avocados, cucumbers, tomato, lettuce and for that slight nutty flavor and a crunch, sunflower seeds. it was simply the perfect combination. it also comes with your choice of pasta or mixed greens. the pasta is drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette – delicious!

the flaming bird sandwich stayed true to its name. although spicy, it did not go to waste. what lies generously between two slices of sourdough bread is mustard, mayo, a chili pepper spread, turkey, tomato, cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts, and onions. a friend of lp states, “it did not look like it would fill me up…but i’m full. and even though i can’t handle spicy foods i couldn’t stop eating it…until i finished my milk tea…then i asked for a cup of water.” he was definitely satisfied.

the price for the quality:
loose teas at ~7.50$ vs. corner bakery at ~7$

lp’s opinion?
loose tea’s quality, variety > corner bakery quality, variety

the loose teas - one of lp’s new favorite tea/boba joints.
first introduced to lp by auco.

the establishment’s main focus: their tea, it’s fantastic! your choice of loose teas is freshly brewed for your refreshment; no powders are used to make their tea-just as it should be. it’s never too bitter, or too sweet, just the perfect balance of flavor. unlike other tea/boba joints, the loose tea offers a wide variety of exotic, delicious loose teas at an affordable price.
lp’s recommended drink: passion fruit green tea with boba

the price for the quality:
loose teas at 3.25$ vs. ten ren at 4.25$

the owners, cindy and kim, are two of the nicest persons you will ever meet! their customer service is wonderful; always smiling, always making sure you are taken care of.
they have constructed a relaxing atmosphere with a modern touch making it a great place to enjoy your tea, study or to just get away.
