Asha Tea House

Sooo good and great study cafe vibesDrinks:1) Jasmine milk tea: excellent with 75% sweetness2) Roasted oolong milk tea with honey: would be better with regular sugar and 75-100% sweetness3) loose leaf milky oolong tea leavesLogistics:-Super hard to find parking-great for doing work here, lots of tables available

I ordered a HK style milk tea, took the first sip, and immediately got this feeling, where's the tea, lol , no black tea or ceylon tea taste. The wait for my drink took quit long.

Probably one of the most aesthetic boba spots I've been to! If I needed a place to study or read, I'd go to Asha Tea House.But the boba itself? Honestly... I was a bit disappointed. I ordered the Hong Kong milk tea, and I'm not sure if it was because I ordered less ice or if it was just an off day, but the flavor was more watery. The boba itself had a nice chew, but it didn't taste like anything. For the price, I'd have expected a higher quality drink.That being said, if I was in the area and a craving, I'd still drop by. But I wouldn't go out of the way to get something here.

I ordered a strawberry matcha latte with oat milk to sip on while waiting for my friends to get brunch at Berkeley Social Club just down the street. The matcha was pretty good but the strawberry to matcha ratio was off with barely that much strawberry compote compared to the amount of matcha and milk in the drink, so once I stirred it, the strawberry flavour was minimal. I would get the matcha by itself and skip the addition of strawberry next time.

Hmmmm not a fan that they open shop later in the day (11am). I've tried their matcha latte and hoiicha latte and I would rate the quality 3.8/5. The matcha is not by default ceremonial and if you want ceremonial than you have to pay extra. Not really memorable but still delicious if you're needing a caffeine kick. I also tried their macaroon set and I would say 70% were good but some had off favors.

Great matcha + high quality drinks! Not too sweet and didn't overpower the matcha flavor!Loved the black sesame cookie as well--I really appreciated the chew of the cookie and size of it! Just the right amount of nuttiness in there!Quick service and a short walk in the downtown Berkeley area!

Overdue review; Asha Tea House has been around for years. I used to go all the time during my college days. It's a decent spot for studying, getting some light work done or catching up with friends. Throughout my visits, I've had their matcha drinks, milk teas, and fruits teas. Most recently, I had their Asian Pear Tea, which was nice! They also offer desserts, pastries, and cute seasonal merchandise.Overall, pretty solid boba and tea place that is worth checking out if you're in the area.

Good quality matcha! I also love that there is the option to make it less sweet and with less ice. Ordering is pretty quick and easy through the ordering screen. To order loose-leaf tea, though, I believe I've had to order at the counter. The space is great -- it fills up, but I personally haven't had trouble finding seating. There are large windows and plenty of natural light if you're reading while sipping on your tea. They do run out of pastries later in the day, so come early not to miss them!

I like the concept and they had some good assortment of teas with seasonal fruits and flavors. I got the Asian pear matcha sparkler and it was pretty good. You just gotta mix it real good. Ordered on the kiosk which made it easy but also slower since we have to swipe through looking for the drink so there were a few people standing in line after us. Street parking only which is the downside

3.8 rating Solid place but nothing special to be honest. I would go here if I was in the area but I don't think I would crave for it. Clean place with seating. Great place to study and chill. HK Coffee Milk Tea (3.9/5) smooth slightly floral from the tea. Coffee flavor is pretty light. I wished the drink was strong in terms of tea or coffee flavor or maybe even creamier. Overall, a bit bland.
