Raintree

There's another tea place in town! You won't miss this brightly-lit restaurant along White Plains :) What I like about Raintree Teapresso Blends though, is their tea variety.



They have Smooteas, Hot blends, Dessert Blends (Red Velvet, Blueberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Truffle drinks are just some samples), Fruit-Tea infusions (you have a choice of tea to mix with their fruit), Pearl Milk Tea, and Pearl Milk Tea Floats (with vanilla ice cream on top!).

They also have cakes and pastries, and I tried this interesting, somewhat brownie piece called Nutella Rocks. I was expecting a rich, Nutella taste, but it turns out to be a dark chocolate, nutty brownie. It was quite good despite the fact that I was expecting something else.




The different drink offerings made it quite difficult to choose, there were about a dozen very interesting Pearl Milk Tea options, from the regular Wintermelon, to Moroccan Mint to Belgian Chocolate. But in the end we decided on Raintree Specialtea and Sencha Kyoto.
As usual, we kept it at 50% sugar. Among the two, I really enjoyed the Specialtea which had a roasted, smooth blend. Sencha Kyoto was also good, but would've better with 75% sugar.
16 oz, P85 and 22 oz, P95
Here's a copy of their menu:


Cal 0932.842.8927 for orders & pick up.
I'd really love to try out the different flavors soon!

The not-quite-Nutella sounds just as yummy at its intended flavor. More reason for us to pass by the White Plains area. :)
