Thirst tea

Boba tea has become a popular beverage in Omaha in the past couple years and Thirst Tea’s popularity has only grown since. The shop offers many different types of tea in addition to boba and bubble tea. Customers can order from the menu or mix and match flavors of tea and boba. Thirst Tea is in Midtown surrounded by other restaurants and near the location of the summer Midtown movies.  

Summer is a notably thriving season for the business, but winter has not stopped customers from drinking Thirst Tea. The winter season has limited the tea shop’s seating to indoors, also removing the cornhole and jumbo checkers until warmer seasons. In addition to their very large menu of tea, Thirst Tea also sells a more limited menu of snack foods like eggrolls, edamame and takoyaki. The tea is a cool beverage for the hot days of summer, but customers have also deemed the product drinkable during the cold days of winter. 

The shop has a fun atmosphere with an interesting mural and round hanging lights resembling bubbles. One wall is covered in wood paneling and the employees’ work area walls are lined in a lime green tile backsplash. The solid-colored furniture is very simple and fits well with the rest of the tea shop, providing practical and sensible seating for the customers. Employees of Thirst Tea are very polite and add to the positive environment of the tea shop. 

Drinks come in plastic cups with lids which are punctured with a straw that can be taken to–go or enjoyed in the tea shop. Thirst Tea makes cups that require the customers to use straws for the beverage’s consumption, but this tea shop could be considered better than most locations that require straw usage. Straws are recyclable in number type five plastic containers, but otherwise straws cannot be recycled and must be thrown away. The cups that are used at Thirst Tea are type five plastics, so, it is possible for customers to recycle the straw and cup they use together. 

Employees in the shop make many drinks during the days Thirst Tea is packed, but once a customer orders his or her drink, it is produced in a minimal to moderate amount of time. The tea shop remains popular year-round and customers have the option of ordering a plethora of tea drinks. Since the cups the tea is sold in are made of type five plastic, it is possible for customers to recycle the straws they use in their cups.
