About The Whale Tea

The Whale Tea offers a delightful boba tea experience with a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The staff is kind and helpful, guiding customers through the self-service process. The boba is nicely cooked, warm, and soft, making it some of the best in the valley. The Thai tea is exceptional, and the drinks are flavorful and authentic. Many drinks are available for the summer months, with options to reduce sugar and customize sweetness and ice levels, including dairy-free alternatives like almond and oat milk. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, rarely too busy, which adds to the overall enjoyment.

The signature coconut milk beverage with fermented peach jelly is popular among regulars. The taro drink is unique, likely made from fresh cooked taro rather than artificial powder, contributing to its good flavor and texture. Customers praise the variety of drinks, including the brown sugar milk tea and the crème brûlée taro milk tea, which are particularly well-received. Despite the drinks being filled to the brim, making them sometimes challenging to consume, The Whale Tea remains a local business worth supporting.

This is hands down the best Tea in Idaho. we have been searching for really tasty since relocating from Asia in 2018.

Whale Tea on Broadway in Boise near Albertson stadium was the first legit Asian Boba tea store. There are many stores selling Boba tea from powder you can get at Costco or walmart but that stuff is not good.

I highly recommend the Passionfruit tea with jelly boba. it is very tasty and perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
