What to know about Drip Tea Market
A boba cafe that sells clothes
Drip Tea Market is the retail arm of a Capitol Hill boba cafe opened in 2020, so milk teas and Bearyaki taiyaki share the room with the racks.
Mostly buy-sell-trade, not production
The bulk of the inventory is secondhand luxury, designer and streetwear clothing and sneakers, bought and traded in rather than produced, which explains the higher price band.
Own goods stay simple
What it makes under its own name stays close to hoodies and t-shirts, with streetwear and skate cuts kept plain enough to read as minimalist.
