Ai Chai Milk Tea is a popular bubble tea shop located on 100 S Jefferson St in Lexington. This shop includes a variety of drinks, boba flavors, and teas to choose from, and it is partnered with Golden Garden, an East Asian restaurant that is another Lexington favorite. The selection ranges from milk teas, slush, fruit teas, milk shakes, chias, and more. Boba flavors include black boba, crystal boba, fruit popping bobas, yogurt popping, and jellies. Here are the most “worth-it” orders I would recommend trying at Ai Chai Milk Tea.
Dragon Fruit Slush with Mango Popping Boba
The dragon fruit slush is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, drinks from Ai Chai. This drink consists of a bright, fruity flavor and a fun pink color. Pairing the dragon fruit slush with the mango popping boba makes it perfect, as the mango flavor adds just the right amount of sweetness to the drink. This order costs $5.85 for a medium size and $6.95 for a large. I would recommend this drink to someone who has a sweet tooth. You can never go wrong with this order. It hits the spot every time.
Coconut Milk Tea with Black Boba
The coconut milk tea is a great option for someone who prefers milk teas. Out of all the milk teas (classic, coconut, taro, jasmine, honeydew, and matcha), the coconut milk tea is by far my favorite because of its sweet, comforting, and light flavor. Ordering regular black boba is the way to go for milk teas, because it balances out the milk base. This drink costs $5.35 for a medium size and $6.95 for a large. It can also be ordered in a hot version, as can the other milk teas. Not to mention, the sugar level in each drink can be altered (0%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 125%).
Mango Fruit Chia with Passion Fruit Popping Boba
The chia drinks seem to be overlooked at Ai Chai. For someone new to fruit chia drinks, I would recommend trying the Mango chia. It is incredibly fresh and super flavorful. The passion fruit popping boba adds a unique flavor, which makes the drink far more enjoyable. This drink is $5.35 for a size medium and $6.35 for a large. Although many people don’t reach for the chias, they are really good, consistent options and fun drinks to try.
