Lake Sumter is getting a new addition to the campus café!
Teamont Cafe, the first Boba place to reach Clermont, is spreading its wings over to our local college! I mean, who doesn’t love boba? If you do not like boba or are intimidated by it, do not fret; they have a variety of drinks and food choices.
“Boba is made from tapioca starch, also known as cassava starch” (Sugg). They are small black pearl-looking treats cooked in brown sugar syrup. They are delicious and not too sweet, but not for everyone. No shame if you don’t like it; most don’t. I recommend popping pearls if you don’t like boba. Popping pearls are fruit flavor spheres that pop in your mouth with the fruit juice of your choice. If you are still not a fan, that is OK. You can order any drink without the pearls.
At Teamont, you can choose between fruit or milk teas, add boba or popping pearls, or add both if you like taking risks! If you haven’t tried it yet, try the cheese foam; it is delicious!
Recommended Drinks!:
If you are a first-time Boba drinker and you like milk drinks, you should try Tiger Milk Tea. This drink is just “vanilla milk and brown sugar syrup drizzled all around the cup” (Teamont Boba). It’s simple but a classic.
My go-to milk teas are Taro, Matcha, Lavender, and my all-time fav. Jasmine. I get all of mine with almond milk and basic tapioca boba. My go-to fruit tea is Lychee with the same flavor popping pearls.
At Teamont, you are not limited to just a basic fruit or milk tea. You can turn any fruit or milk tea into a slushie! If you think turning a basic drink into a slushie is cool, you can try Ramune soda! It’s a delicious soda that is super fun to open. There is a glass pearl you need to push down to enjoy this soda. It is definitely a fun drink to try if you like carbonated drinks!
Visit Teamont Cafe at the South Lake Campus café on 9/5/2023! We cannot wait to see you there! Check back next week for a personal interview with the owners!
