HEYTEA is a drinky drink spot I discovered on my galleria adventure. I did some research and saw this place was popular on TikTok, so I expected something trendy.
I walked up to the counter in this little alcove and asked for recommendations. The cashier was partial to the supreme matcha latte. It was the only drink with a crown on the menu and as a reviewer, I gotta order the best. The drink includes premium grade matcha, cheese matcha foam, and matcha jelly. Truly supreme. The only modification I made was less sugar.
The actual matcha tasted solid and included a decent amount of sweetness. Full sugar would have boomed me. The jelly was light with an easy to absorb texture. I’m not huge on normal boba as I hate the hard to chew consistency, so the jelly was perfect. Once I mixed up the foam the drink became extra creamy with that hint of cheesy goodness.
$9.50 was the damage. While nice, I’m not sure I’d order this particular drink again. It had fun components, but didn’t shine enough to be worth that price. I lost a lot of interest after I was about 50% done with the drink. Don’t get me wrong it was obviously good based on my description, but I try a lot of good things and the finished product needs to be great for a price like that, or a touch cheaper.
