TP Tea (Taiwan Professional Tea) sources tea leaves directly and brews each drink to order, distinguishing itself from the standardized chains that dominate the format. The kitchen serves the large East Asian student and working population in Scarborough, for whom quality tea preparation, steep times, water temperature, tea-to-milk ratios, matters as much as the drink itself. The signature milk teas are steeped, cooled poured over ice without pre-made bases, a labour-intensive approach that separates this counter from faster competitors.
