First of all, I am loving the name! I thought it was TEAriffic! (LOL! Sorry, I just had to!). For me, it says a lot about the owners--they have a sense of humor and creativiTEA (LOL!)--they brew tea and their last name happens to be "Lee," hence, "Brew's Lee" Tea Station (you get the drift! Unless, you don't know the most famous martial artist | actor of all time 🤷).
Anyway, this cute tea shop has amazing interiors even the refreshements are instagram-worthy. If you are on the chatTEA side (😂😂😂) looking for a place to hangout or looking for a quick sip (I would also say a quick bite, but their food items/menu are very limited) this place is right for you. They have shelves full of board games and maybe some books (not too sure 🤔 but that would be nice too!).
I thought it was brilliant that they offer a "split cup" (two drinks, one cup) for the indecisive drinkers and for split decisions. You can have the best of both worlds! I would also like to commend them for offering hay straws to somehow reduce plastic waste and at no additional cost to customers (don't worry, it does not affect the taste of the beverage whatsoever). However, it can only be used with drinks without boba.
You can choose how sweet you want your drink, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe the default/recommended is 25%, which tastes just about right. My husband had the Roasted Thai tea with boba and he liked how it wasn't too sweet with the 25% that it brought out the authentic flavor. Some might still consider it too sweet especially if they add bobas to their drink. In that case, lower it to maybe 15-20%? I had the highly recommended Rose Milk tea and Taro Coconut Milk in a split cup and it did not disappoint. The Taro Coconut Milk has a sweet and creamy taste paired with coconut that adds an exotic flavor to it. As for the Rose Milk tea, I can't really explain how it tastes like, not that I have eaten actual roses but you will know that it's a rose flavor when you drink it LOL. You know that feeling when you can actually taste something that you smell? Something like that. But one thing's for sure, it tasted very fresh and my 7-year old loved it! We also had glowing tea which is made of calamondin/calamansi which is a citrus fruit. I would describe it something in between an orange and a lime. Nevertheless, it is a very refreshing drink and is so much better than lemonade.
If there was something to improve in this place, I would suggest more food items to enjoy with our tea and open more locations please especially in the Alamo Ranch area---we only have a Starbucks that recently opened, but we need more choices 😁
Dear Alexandra,
Thank you for the thoughtful gesture of offering us a glowing tea to try out! We love it and will be getting more when we come back! Also, for making sure we were comfortable eating/bringing outside food!
Congratulations! You've reached the end of this post 😜 Thanks for reading!
