About SOFTEA

SOFTEA is committed to authenticity and quality. Unlike many other bubble tea shops, Softea prioritizes straying away from artificial tea powders, sucrose sweeteners and non-dairy creamers. Softea only uses premium loose leaf teas, liquid dairy and milk alternatives, fruit syrups, fresh tapioca pearls and house made simple syrup for all of its bubble teas. The dedication to authentic bubble tea reflects Softea's deep-rooted passion for the rich cultural heritage behind the history of the beverage.
