TP TEA – San Diego

Our newest and favorite tea shop! Been here many times since soft opening. TP stands for Taiwan Professional. You have to get the QQ noodle over boba or get both! You’ll find QQ noodle specifically only at TP locations. They are same as boba but in noodle strand shape. Their tea base is ultra quality, bold and strong. We have tried: -TGY Family Milk tea - they steep the loose teas and I love how you could taste the quality and strength. It was strong. Had a lot of toppings that I’m not into. Next time, I’ll just get the milk tea alone. -Mango matcha latte - It was blended and thick but once it melted, the drink was refreshing with the mango. Different than strawberry. -Strawberry milk tea smoothie - I couldn’t tell if there were any tea in this one but for sure hit the spot on a hot day with the strawberry fruitiness. -Classic milk tea with QQ noodle topping - not sure if it’s the same drink base as TGY family milk tea because the quality of tea in this one wasn’t the same as the TGY. Could be a batch thing or different person making it. Still good and QQ noodles are so fun to slurp. -Golden Osmanthus Aiyu Lemonade- I’m a milk tea lover not fruit tea but by far I loved this! Reminded me of salted plum drink. -Brown sugar boba fresh milk tea - very few places make brown sugar that I like and I’m happy to say this is top 5. -Winter melon fresh milk tea - out of all the drinks, this one was my least favorite. I didn’t get that earthy caramelized melon flavor. Overall, great location, lots of parking. The service is super quick and they could handle the crowd during soft opening. Not many tables indoor but there are plenty outside from their neighbors. We’ll be back many more times.

This place is fantastic! The drinks are creative and flavorful. The staff is even better than the drinks. They were so kind and helpful to my daughter who came in with me right as they were closing. They were able to get her order in right closing on what seemed to be a long shift. Highly recommend, this spot is the perfect addition to Clairemont Towne Square!

Had the tie guan yin w/foam and the basic milktea Tgy I wasn't a big fan, it tasted ok but really one dimension, almost like a powder mix, not to say that it is 'cause I saw they made the tea separately. When you drink it, the only thought is "yep taste like a tgy milktea" Basic milktea here was a lot better imo, tasted a lil different from most basic milktea I've had. A slightly smoky taste with some chocolately flavor, like someone added Milo into a milk tea. In term of basic milk tea this might be my favorite of the whole Claremont convoy area, competing with bopomofo for me. Edit: on the sweeter side, I got 50% sweet and it was good but might get 25% next time

Checked out the soft opening! Clean store, great options, the mango smoothie and tie Guan yin teas were perfect! Plenty of topping options: love the boba, grass jelly and coffee jelly!

TP Tea is hands down one of my new favorite boba spots! I tried the Golden Osmanthus with Lemonade and wow—absolutely bomb! The flavor is so refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the aiyu jelly that comes with it takes it to the next level. Even though the shop was pretty busy, my drink still came out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Great drinks, solid service, and definitely worth coming back for!

A newly opened Taiwanese bubble tea shop didn't seem to have any special promotions. My friend and I ordered Tieguanyin milk tea, which tasted somewhat like the bubble tea from our childhood. My friend said drinking it might cause insomnia at night, so it seems the tea flavor is really strong.

Amazing tea and boba place! Their fruit teas are so fresh and you can really taste the quality in the milk teas. One of the best places I've had in San Diego.

Great drinks and excellent service! The staff was friendly and quick, and there were plenty of seats to relax and enjoy. I really liked the boba, and my wife loved the cheese foam topping. The Tie Guan Yi cheesefoam had a very strong tea flavor and the boba in the Thai tea was very good, soft and chewy. The Taiwanese-inspired décor on the walls added a nice touch. We'll definitely be back!
