When I first heard about Purple Kow I was intrigued. Partly because thinking about purple cows is a pleasant pastime. Additionally I was fascinated by the design of the shop and the very large cups it dispensed. I eventually went to Purple Kow with a large group of my compatriots. They were for the most part rather exited about our destination so I entered with high hopes. I ordered an Oolong milk tea with boba, because oolong is generally quite enjoyable. When I went to order I was ask if I wanted the full amount of sugar. I was a bit confused about what that meant so I answered yes. I later found out that I had made the wrong decision. At Purple Kow one can get 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% sugar. My 100% was sickeningly sweet. Yet I was still luckier than my friend who ordered the matcha milk tea, which frankly tasted like chalk. That wasn't too surprising considering that it is incredibly difficult to find a matcha that is both cheap and good. However, we were still a bit disappointed. someone else in my group faired much better with one of Purple Kow's fruity teas (I regrettably don't remember which one) with a minimal amount of sugar. It was quite tasty.
It seems like Purple Kow really shines when it comes to toppings rather than tea. There are jellies galore! Yet it seems a bit foolish to settle for a mediocre tea with amber jelly (for the record I dont really know what that is) when there are significantly better boba places less than a block away. I am honestly bamboozled as to why my friends think so highly of this establishment.
