Taste Tea

Went back and got the Lychee Iced Tea with a green tea based (can choose between green, black, chamomile) and wow was that refreshing!!! Good combination of tart, sweet, and smooth. Oh and for this drink I recommended 100% sweetness with big boba. Boba Pearls absorb the sweetness while not distracting me from the lychee green tea taste. Would definitely get it again!Huge shout out to the worker for recommending the green tea base.

Wow lots of options! For a non boba tea drinker it was a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what to order. Luckily the help was nice and patient and at 8:00 pm on a Monday night it wasn't busy at all. Friend got the blended strawberry milk tea and I got the blended honeydew milk tea with small tapioca balls. The blended drinks only come in large. I was happy to learn that only their lattes contain milk so no problemo for us lactose intolerants! Not being experienced with these types of drinks, I don't have much to compare this to, but I feel like it was a little too much tapioca and not enough blended drink for me. Also got a few pebbles of ice but the blended part was nice a smooth. I think I liked my friend's strawberry better. Wanted to try the snow ice but it was late at night and I wasn't hot . Maybe another time. I felt old coming in here. Maybe because there was a bunch of high school students hanging when we entered? Maybe it's because there are 3 schools in close proximity to this place and I could picture youngsters wanting to come here after school? Maybe it was the UFO catcher type grabbing machines in the place? Maybe because I am not versed in Boba and had no clue what to order? Prolly for all those reasons !Love the easy parking in the back. Walk around to entrance on Waialae on the other side of Fairwood and Pho.

Tasty for Taste Tea!The number of times I've passed here especially waiting at the stoplight I've seen this place and always thought of seeing the layout of this place.It's so not what you'd image...in a great way thinking that it's slightly below street level and yes you access the entrance on Waialae not through the parking garage, but the artsy wall is quite impressive.The dungeon-ish space is brighten with the feeling like you're at Kewalo Basin Park with the view of Diamond Head in the background chilling on a tree swing is a clever touch.The other wall is a great art as well though there a few folks sitting there that I seriously do respect not taking any pictures so you know I need to be back to capture that image as it's stunning as well.I got my usual favorite Winter Melon Spring Tea with Coconut Jelly and this will be my breakfast drink tomorrow morning but I did take the moment to chill here which there are decent amount of seating to do so and with some outlets to keep you plug in getting work done here is a breeze.The staff is amazing, and being close to many schools they also have snow ice I'm sure is popular, another great find to see that they have cold brew Black and Spring Tea already made is a great item to grab and go...tearrific!Thank you!

First time here and got the pickled mango with lychee jelly and boba as per the cashier's recommendation between the two choices I was debating on. Loved it!!! Much mahalo for the recommendation!

Boba quality 10/10. Flavor great. I wish my blended taro milk tea was blended a little more because it still had some ice in it. Pickled mango tea was so yummy! Super fast service.

Amazing taste, fantastic value, fast service, many options, great staff, and tons of free parking. I cannot recommend Taste Tea of Kaimuki highly enough. I have visited this location dozens and dozens of times, and I have never been let down. Whether you order ahead or jump in line when you arrive, they are super fast at making your drinks. They have tons of teas, shakes, blended drinks, and so many extra toppings! We love the ice cream milk tea, original milk tea, brown sugar, and all the blended! So cheap and so good! Please try them out if you're in need of a delicious, cheap boba drink!

One of my favorite boba spots on the island!! I appreciate the affordable and reasonable prices, quick service and perfectly chewy boba! Lychee is also on point.

The most delicious boba and the customer service was amazing! My son dropped his drink, spilling half of its contents and cracking the cup. I came back in to see if they could just give me a new cup with the remainder of what was left and they made him a brand new one without me even asking. The owner was so kind. I ordered the Taro 2.0 and the flavor was on point!

I pass by this Tea place many times but today decided to check it out. I'm not use to this kind of Tea places fancy words for all kinds of drinks. I didn't know what to order so I just stuck to a simple ice coffee They had drinks with ice cream with shave ice with all kinds of topping . I just wanted something plain I guess I'm showing my age. I ordered a iced coffee and what I thought was neat they tell what number of sweetness you want and there's a chart from 0-120% . My coffee was strong even with 70% of sweetner I forgot to add milk. I guess this kind of tea place is not for me. I'll stick to my Starbucks I

Taste Tea has once again raised their prices... I ended up paying over $7 for a Honeydew Milk Tea with Boba. The milk tea was fine at first, but after twenty minutes or so, the powder started collecting as sediment on the bottom of the cup. Yikes. I ended up throwing it away because of that and because it was a bit too sweet even though I got it 25% sweet. The boba was okay, though. Inside, there are a lot of cute claw machines for plushies on the side. And there are a bunch of square tables with outlets for people to work. The internet was fine and there is parking available at Times or Longs Drugs. But the restroom is super sketch... When I went inside, it was super dirty and smelled horrible. It also looked like there was mold on the toilet and the walls. I ended up going up to Longs in order to use the restroom...
