Boba tea enthusiasts are probably well aware of the latest craze for the internationally popular chain HeyTea, which has a shop in Allston. Cambridge boasts its own boba shop, Teaholic, that I think can go head to head against the HeyTeas of the world with its own set of creative drinks that the company call “creations,” differing from traditional boba tea in that they occupy a hybrid space between drink and dessert. I tried one of Teaholic’s signature creations, the Grape Cheese – don’t let the name scare you away. This is a combination that not only works, but that opens a whole world of how differently desserts can taste and feel. Sweet grape is balanced here with tangy chunks of muscat grape; the next sip brings a wave of lychee jelly, mild but adding texture; lastly comes the cheese foam, a savory, salty bite that literally tops off the experience.
