Some days call for coffee. And other days call for a cold milk tea with a serious amount of boba. When it's the second, Kung Fu Tea is waiting at 707 S 6th St Suite 107 in Champaign, close enough to campus that the walk can't even count as a detour.
And the fun part? There are more than 60 flavors on the menu, split across milk teas, boba drinks, and slushes. You could find your go to order and stick with it, or you could easily spend the semester working your way through the list, adding boba pearls, brown jelly, or pink cream along the way. Seasonal flavors rotate in throughout the year, so there is always something new to try. For anyone who takes their tea seriously, the leaves come from the high mountains of Taiwan and get brewed fresh every three hours.
Plus, you can order online and skip the line when you get there. Grab it on the way to the library, split a group order with your roommates, or make it the reward you promise yourself for acing that exam.
