Price? Is it Expensive?

Feeling the ambience, the location and looking at the creative menu you would first think that Zentea products are expensive, why not? the place and products can be compared to a popularly expensive coffee shop except that the price is really affordable. A pot of green tea which you can share with your friends would only cost you about fifty five pesos. A tall glass of your favorite tea drink would not even cost you more than one hundred pesos. Affordable right? This may be attributed with the fact that Zentea was first conceptualized to cater to students and true to their commitment Zentea has maintained their products’ affordability.

Affordable! Quality?

Believe it or not the tea leaves used are grown in the most ambient conditions to maintain its natural flavors, unlike those processed tea placed in a tea bag the tea leaves are delicately and naturally processed. Further, the tea products are not pre-brewed but are actually brewed by Zentea’s expert barista’s. Would you believe that their jelly (gulaman) and pearls (sago) are also made on-site? The flavorings such as blueberries, strawberries among others are fruit sugar extracts which means the sugar is not glucose but the natural sweetness of the fruit which is fructose. Talk about quality! Indeed each Zentea product you buy is made from high quality ingredients.

Can i Make my Own Flavored Tea?

Yes, Zentea allows its clients to choose from the different flavors displayed in their bar. You can choose your own mix of flavors or you can take the suicide flavor where you ask the barista to mix all the flavors available in the bar.

I only See Chips, No Food?

Flavored tea’s and hot tea’s are not only thirst quenching but it also fills your tummy. Being a dessert drink it is both a drink and food at the same time so you wouldn’t really need to eat any other food, besides the pearls or jelly are generously placed in your cup. So you really do not need to eat while drinking the tea.

Recommendations If I Visit Zentea Baguio?

I normally do not recommend any particular product from the establishments i review but for me i grew fond of drinking the “Altitude” oh did i mention that they gave creative names to their different flavors of tea? I think every flavor is a must try as each flavor can give you a different feeling of freshness, calmness and palette challenge.
