Hanlin Tea Restaurant. San Francisco. California. 2.18.2018.

My favorite place to get authentic milk tea (dairy free) in San Francisco is Hanlin Tea Restaurant. I almost always get the jade green milk tea, and sometimes I get the black milk tea if I need more caffeine. This is by far the most authentic and well made milk tea I have had in town, not a surprise since they were the original inventors of the boba milk tea in Taiwan. I have eaten here twice and I feel that overall the food is good. A lot of Taiwanese say that this is the most authentic Taiwanese food they have had. However, I tend to stick with the tea here.
