The Teahouse Tapioca and Tea

The Teahouse Tapioca and Tea The Teahouse Tapioca and Tea, a smoothie and juice bar, originated in the bustling city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, before making its way to the United States. The first U.S. location opened in the Hong Kong City Mall in Houston, Texas, marking a significant milestone as the very first traditional Taiwanese cream Teahouse in the Greater Houston area. While other establishments also serve tapioca cream tea, The Teahouse distinguishes itself by maintaining authentic Taiwanese flavors coupled with exceptional customer service. Committed to tradition, they diligently hand-select their teas and offer a diverse menu that includes Tapioca Tea, Milk Teas, Smoothies, Slushies, and Fresh Fruit Juices. Guests are invited to unwind at any of their locations and discover their new favorite beverage.
