KOI Thé

Resting at the base of each cup is a generous scoop of KOI Thé's signature golden boba, distinguished from typical black tapioca pearls by their translucent amber hue. Situated on the B1 floor of the alpa shopping area in Ikebukuro Sunshine City, this tea stall brings Taiwanese tea culture to Tokyo in an accessible grab-and-go format. The signature Golden Bubble Milk Tea pairs rich, robustly brewed tea with smooth milk, accented by petite yet pleasantly chewy pearls that lend each sip a satisfying bounce.

Beyond standard black tea, the menu spans fragrant roasted hojicha lattes, floral jasmine green teas, and macchiatos crowned with a thick layer of salted milk foam. Each drink can be tailored upon ordering by selecting preferred sweetness levels and amounts of ice, making it just as easy to pick up a crisp, lightly sweetened thirst-quencher as a richer, dessert-like treat.

While many visitors grab drinks to go, the shop also provides an eat-in counter for those looking to take a brief pause while exploring Sunshine City. It makes a dependable stop for a personalized cup of tea during a day out in Ikebukuro.
