T4 Tea for U

Fantastic range of choices. Finally found rose milk tea and it was definitely worth it. The location is nice, inside the mall. Tapioca was decent. The only complaint I have is since it’s in Westfield, it gets quite packed and the queues are time-​consuming. They could use an extra till. However, it’s definitely worth the wait.

Being a company originally started in Taiwan, you can’t get much more authentic than that. The tea is delicious and the tapioca is fresh. The store is quite small so you’ll have to enjoy your drink outside in the mall. If you love fruit bubble tea, this store is limited in fruit flavours compared to Bubbleology upstairs. However, they have lots of flavours unique from other bubble tea shops around London, such as rose, winter melon, and red bean.
T4 is conveniently placed on the ground floor of Westfield Stratford near the entrance by the Stratford tube station. The staff aren’t exactly the friendliest, but I did not find them so terrible that it detracted from the overall experience. Anytime I’m in the mall I’ll probably grab a drink from here.
This is one of two bubble tea shops in Westfield Stratford, and if you’re not sure which one to go to: Bubbleology has more fruit flavours, customisability, seating, and friendly staff. T4 is more authentic, has fresher tea, and better tapioca.

Having lived in Taiwan for a few months (and originally hailing from Southern California where the boba shops are aplenty), I’d like to think I’m at least a bit wary of what «good» boba is like. And this, I have to say, is actually pretty good boba. Despite being £4.50 for a normal sized cup (that’s ~$ 6.50usd for you American folks. yeah, I’m crying too), the boba was chewy and had a solid flavor of brown sugar.
However, my gripes with this place are:
1) I ordered the rose tea and asked for just a little bit of sugar, but it came tasting like I was drinking 50 packs of dissolved Stevia. Even though the boba is good, the tea… not so much.
2) Cashier was not the nicest person. Though not rude to me personally, she did scold a lady in front of me for not being in the right line… to which the lady responded by leaving and taking her business elsewhere. Seeing as another reviewer wrote about a similar incident, I’m guessing it’s probably the same cashier who needs to work on her service. You’re losing business by being rude!

T4 is a bubble tea store on the ground floor of Westfield Stratford. It has a huge menu, staff weren’t super informative but an interesting place with good flavours and offerings.
