@UMe Tea in Chicago was the perfect stop in China Town 💅🏼✨

You know we’re on a blindbox KICK so we when I heard you could get a blindbox BOBA TEA cup… I flipped out.

Rate our bunnies!

... Read moreVisiting UMe Tea in Chicago's Chinatown was an unexpected delight for me, especially as a fan of both boba tea and collectible blindbox items. The concept of a blindbox boba tea cup adds a fun twist to the regular bubble tea experience — you not only get a delicious drink but also the thrill of not knowing which cute cup design you'll receive. This element of surprise makes every visit exciting and encourages repeat trips to complete your collection. UMe Tea stands out not just for their inventive marketing but also for the quality of their drinks. Their boba pearls are perfectly chewy, and the tea flavor is rich without being overly sweet. The blindbox cups feature adorable bunny-themed designs, adding to their charm and collectibility. I found myself comparing the different bunnies and sharing photos with friends, creating a fun community vibe. If you're in Chicago and want a unique boba experience, UMe Tea is definitely worth checking out. Plus, being located in Chinatown adds to the cultural vibe and variety of food and drink options nearby. Whether you’re new to boba or a longtime fan, the blindbox element brings a fresh, gamified feel to your tea break. For those interested, it's also worth noting that blindbox collectibles are popular in many forms—figures, toys, and cups like these—but combining them with food and drink is a clever way to blend two passions. On my visit, the excitement of unboxing paired with a tasty tea made it one of the most memorable café stops I’ve had recently. If you love boba, collectibles, or just want a cute and tasty spot to hang out, UMe Tea’s blindbox boba cups are a delightful treat that adds a bit of magic to your day.

Two Ume Tea drinks are on a table in a pink-themed cafe. One is a clear cup with a brown drink, and the other is a pink cup with cartoon bunnies and Chicago landmarks. A white plush toy with a yellow flower and red bow tie sits in front, next to a black bag. Text overlays promote Ume Tea Chicago and mention a surprise plush.
