Then, to make the tea more potent and flavorful, they add extra tea in a powdered form, resulting in an intensely flavored tea version of espresso. They call it &#8220;teaspresso.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From there, customers can choose milk, syrups, or other flavor additions, just as you would to an espresso drink.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our goal is to be as close to a coffee shop as possible but only selling tea,&#8221; Be says.<\/p>\n<p>The process has a scientific name: Dual phase pull. First, they extract the tea from the machine in a method using high pressure, designed to get all of the tea out of the leaves they possibly can.<\/p>\n<p>Then they add a second round of tea called &#8220;dancha&#8221; \u2014 their original word for the finely ground powder of oolong tea leaves, similar to matcha powder. They whisk it in with the same whisk method <a href=\"https:\/\/dallas.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/dallas-contemporary-matcha-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">used<\/a> in making matcha green tea.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a complex, velvety tea shot they say rivals espresso in taste and strength, without relying on coffee beans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"04872\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"e75bbfbc002116b1301487c063efed8e\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202000%201500'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/greenova-tea.jpg\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Greenova Tea\"\/>\u00a0Greenova TeaGreenova\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their drinks have 130 to 150 milligrams of caffeine \u2014 significantly higher than the 95 milligrams in a cup of coffee, and double the amount of a typical cup of tea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This method is exclusive to Greenova and is the key behind our signature Teatte, a high-caffeine tea drink that outperforms your average caf\u00e9 latte in both energy and experience,&#8221; Be says. &#8220;Our Teatte contains more caffeine than the typical caf\u00e9 latte, but with a smoother, longer-lasting energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenovatea.com\/menu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">menu<\/a> includes:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li>Teatte \u2014 a tea version of a cafe latte, with tea and milk<\/li>\n<li>Maple Sea Salt Teatte<\/li>\n<li>Coconut Crunch Teatte \u2014 topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut shavings<\/li>\n<li>Olive Pistachio Teatte \u2014 with pistachio cold foam, channeling the <a href=\"https:\/\/dallas.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/best-dubai-chocolate-dallas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dubai chocolate<\/a> dessert craze<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The fun part about these drinks is dropping the tea concentrate into the creamy base, be it oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or cold foam, and seeing the dark-against-white marble effect, as well as experiencing the pleasing softening the milk has on the concentrated teaspresso flavor.<\/p>\n<p>You can also get the Dancha tea, featuring the oolong powder whisked like matcha, in similar flavor options; as well as a half dozen matcha drinks, in trendy flavors such as Matcha Lavender Teatte or the insanely buzzy Matcha Strawberry Latte. Prices range from $5 to $7.75.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the drinks, they currently offer an avocado toast topped with a fried egg, but Be says they&#8217;ll be adding more food items over the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>Be is a beverage-savvy pioneer: He previously founded Meccha Matcha, which opened its first location in DFW in Plano back in 2018, a lifetime ago in the matcha world, making him among the first to usher in the matcha craze which is absolutely <a href=\"https:\/\/dallas.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/keith-lee-tiktok-matcha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">on fire<\/a> right now, not just in <a href=\"https:\/\/dallas.culturemap.com\/news\/society\/keith-lee-la-la-land\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dallas<\/a> but across the U.S. (The Plano original closed during the pandemic, but there is <a href=\"https:\/\/dallas.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/12-22-20-asia-times-square-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">currently<\/a> a wildly popular Meccha Matcha location in Grand Prairie.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s so much matcha right now, and we have it on the menu at Greenova, but I chose not to spotlight it,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Our purpose is to redefine how the world sees tea, starting with coffee drinkers, in an innovative manner. We&#8217;re on a mission to convert even the most loyal latte lovers by offering a tea experience that&#8217;s just as bold, energizing, and satisfying.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new tea shop has debuted in Frisco with a bold, bold claim: Called Greenova Tea, it just&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":104343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,30440,1596,67059,49313,42033,40282,980,398,12437,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-104342","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-bests","10":"tag-dallas","11":"tag-food-wine","12":"tag-grocery-stores","13":"tag-heb","14":"tag-honors","15":"tag-lists","16":"tag-media","17":"tag-rankings","18":"tag-texas","19":"tag-tx","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-united-states-of-america","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114941268221158965","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
