The Experience
With the intense heat and the disappointment to find the Beach House Canteen closed, we decided to head off to UniversiTEA to get some cool treats. We got more than cool treats!
The place is far from your average tea shop. It has a lot of UP-themed murals. It also has an expression board with lots of colorful notes on.
Their teas are... well... teas. Gong Cha is still better but at half the price, UniversiTEA is a pretty good deal. I got Jasmine Milk Tea with pearl sinkers and Kirsten got their Strawberry Fruit Tea.
Great place + refreshing drinks = good mood!
