Aside from getting the promotional bottle, I don’t think their shimmering drinks are anything extraordinary. The special bottle drinks are $15, and I feel like you're mostly paying for the collaboration. I ordered the kiwi lemonade shimmering drink, and it somewhat reminds me of Jolly Rancher candy.

They offer a wide variety of flavor options that I can't wait to try on my next visit. Plus, the tea is served in a reusable jar that you can bring back for refills!

I really like how it comes in a mason glass jar (hence the drinks are a bit more expensive). You get 10% off your drinks if you bring in your used glass jar. The staffs are very friendly and helpful (I was contemplating on which drinks to get). MangoBerry Green Tea (5/5) 50% sweetness was perfect, I can't imagine how sweet 100% would be. This is by far one of my fav team fruit drinks of all. I added lychee jelly as a topping. The muddled strawberry and mango bits w/ the green tea was perfect. It was so refreshing and tasty. I would definitely order this drinks again. Jasmine Milk Tea (2/5) 75% sweetness was good. This was lacking the tea flavor. With the crushed ice, it tasted even more water down. The boba is not the best, it's not as chewy as I would like.

However, this review is not about the drinks, but the service. There were 2 people working at the time?one much moreprofessional than the other. The former even asked us to check the sweetness levels so she could accommodate our tastes andadjust the drinks if needed. I was a little more concerned about the other employee. First, he wasn?t wearing a mask as he waspreparing drinks. I know some people are unable to wear masks for medical reasons, but this employee was loudly laughing andtalking over the drinks as he was making them, which was a little off-putting. Second, it?s always a cause for concern when theperson making your food or drinks loudly says ?EWWWWW? as they are discussing and preparing your drinks. If you?re alsoconcerned about mask-wearing at a food or drink establishment, I?d suggest making sure to check if the employees behind thecounter are wearing masks before placing an order.

However, when my brother was about to drink it with the lid off, he almost cut his lips. The glass bottle was chipped quite badly and tiny pieces of shardscan be found around the neck of the bottle. I love the way the drink tasted but am not satisfied with the damaged bottle (itcould've hurt someone).
