Spending more time in Ellicott City has been more interesting than I thought it would be. After doing some digging, I found out that there are many bakeries and shops that I have yet to check out. Tea Top is a shop that has been on my list for a while, and I finally got to check it out.

WHAT I ORDERED

Tea Top offers traditional teas, milk teas, special teas, slushies, milk foam drinks, drinks made with fresh milk, matcha, and hot drinks. Their toppings include classic boba, cheese foam, Ai-Yu jelly, mango popping boba, and red bean. I was in a milk tea mood, so I ordered Rose Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Black Tea.

Rose Milk Tea

Floral drinks have slowly become one of my favorite menu items. I was intrigued when I saw Rose Milk Tea on Tea Top’s menu. I ordered mine with a 100% sugar level, less ice, and classic boba pearls.

This was one of the best rose drinks I’ve ever tried. I loved that the rose was the star of this drink without being overpowering. In some floral drinks, the flavor can be too much. I think the classic boba pearls were a great topping for this drink, but I’d love to try it with another topping like pudding. I liked the sweetness level. I think I’d like this drink even at the next sugar level down. If you love floral drinks, I think you’ll enjoy their Rose Milk Tea.

Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Black Tea

Sometimes, I use a Brown Sugar Latte/latte-like drink to really know if I like a boba tea shop. It’s my go-to drink, and it felt right to get one at Tea Top. I was so excited to try the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Black Tea. I ordered mine with 100% sugar, less ice, and classic boba pearls. I shook this drink to mix it before trying it.

This drink was amazing. I think the sweetness level was perfect and loved how fresh the milk tasted. It’s one of the best brown sugar-based boba drinks I’ve ever had, and I’d absolutely order it again. If you love Dirty Brown Sugar Lattes, this is the drink for you.

Other Items I’ve Tried

Cheese Milk Foam Thai Tea

I recently visited Tea Top again and had to try the Cheese Milk Foam Thai Tea. I love Thai Tea and Thai Iced Tea so much but had never had it with foam on top. Cheese foam is made with cream cheese. I ordered mine with a 30% ice level and a 100% sugar level. You have the option to order it iced or hot. My topping of choice was regular pearls. It was one of the best bubble tea drinks I’ve ever had! The milk foam paired well with the sweetened Thai Tea. I’d absolutely order this drink again.

WRAP-UP

I loved Tea Top. It’s a cute, chill place to hang out with friends or to go on a solo bubble tea date. The drinks that I ordered were so good that I can’t want to go back! The next time you’re in Ellicott City, check out Tea Top!
