There is a new bubble tea shop open in Englewood. The popular TSAOCHA – also known as TSAOCAA – translates from Chinese to “Holy Land of Tea” in English. This particular location of the franchise also offers Korean mochi donuts, with plans to introduce Korean hot dogs as well.
Bubble tea, invented in the 1990s in Taiwan, is traditionally made with powdered milk. However, TSAOCAA in Englewood breaks that mold by instead offering freshly brewed tea recipes. They brew each loose-leaf tea fresh to order in an espresso-like machine. Once cool, they mix the tea with a choice of organic milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut water. They drink is then shaken until the bubbles rise to the top. Brewing the bubble tea in this style is meant to be a healthier take on the otherwise dessert-like drink.
