BIZNOTE: Sharetea soft-opens in West Seattle

| West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | WS beverages

Almost three months after we reported that Sharetea was on the way to the ex-Baja Taco space at Jefferson Square (4740 42nd SW), they have soft-opened and are welcoming thirsty tea lovers. We stopped by a little while ago after a reader tip.

Sharetea has more than 300 stores worldwide, specializing in Boba Tea but offering much more. They tell us the plan for this “soft opening” week is noon-8 pm daily through Thursday, noon-9 pm Friday and Saturday, closed Sunday, and they’ll figure out what’s next after that.

This is awesome! Perfect timing as I am starting a new job right around here and can’t wait to get my bubble tea at lunch or after work!

The drinks are amazing and the staff and owners are awesome!!!

Anyone know if the tea flavors are pre-mixed, or if they can be customized? I love red bean milk tea, but their menu says it’s matcha red bean, and I can’t stand matcha.

My son works there, and I’m pretty sure all of the drinks are customizable. They are made to order – and you can put whatever tea you want in whatever drink you want :-)

Most boba shops can customize their drinks which is why having Sharetea arrive in WS is fantastic. From their site, looks like red bean is a topping. You might want to think of what you’d sub for the matcha. https://www.1992sharetea.com/product/matcha-red-bean-milk-tea/

Thanks – hadn’t seen the photo to see that it was a topping. There was a shop back east where the red bean paste was mixed into the tea, and that was the base – that’s more like what I was looking for.

Sorry, comment time is over.
