Tastea

I always try to stop by Tastea whenever I’m in the area, but avoid it during peak hours. Parking in this plaza is always a pain. Stick with their teas, during my first visit I made the mistake of ordering slushy and I hated it. Their drinks don’t taste artificial and they’re really refreshing. My go-​to drinks are The Unknown (mainly because there’s longan) and the Peach Me Sweet Tea. I even get their fries or chicken even if I’ve just eaten, but their kitchen closes earlier than I would like.
Downsides are that the green boba is flavorless. Drinks used to be really cheap but over the years prices have slowly went up, I’d still prefer tastea over any other tea house any day.

Pretty damn good. I like Tastea much better than Tapioca express, as Tastea’s boba drinks seem to be a little less sweet. Drinks are always fresh and service is always prompt. Good location with ample parking space. I always appreciate their loyalty program. My only gripe is we usually get a large order to go back to the office with, and they always out them in the cardboard flats rather than bags, which seem easier to carrier when you’re walking out with 10+ boba teas.
Needless to say, I’m not sure there’s an easy way to do that anyway. Everyone is always friendly and drinks are always good. I’ve yet to try the food so I can’t vouch for it but it looks pretty decent.

Good place to grab boba, and fries! The prices of drinks are standard for the regular size, but that large size it goes up to around $ 6, but the cup is pretty big, so I’m thinking it’s worth it.
I get The Great White, less sweet, or just a Peach Green Tea, less sweet w/​honey boba. The honey boba is super chewy and I have yet to have a bad experience with it. I’ve had sips of a variety of drinks there and none of them were bad. Most of the drinks have a mix of different fruit flavors and bits into it, but feel free to change something if it doesn’t mix well with you! Tastea also has the drink guarantee that if you don’t like your drink, they’ll make you a new one!
Another thing I’m a huge fan of are the fries. They put some sort of dust/​flavoring on their fries that is sublime! I always get them with a side of weak sauce, which is basically like a sweet chili sauce. Sometimes the fries are a little salty from excessive dust, but it’s still really good. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend the fries.

I really wish tastea just had normal size cups. I feel like the 32 for $ 6 is too expensive. Everytime I get it, I always regret it. I got the matcha Thai milk tea and it tasted like flavored water. I wouldn’t recommend getting any of their milk teas here. I always get their milk teas, and I always regret it. I think their slush drinks are so much better in my opinion.

Wow. They upped their prices out of nowhere. Not a small hike either.
Damn Tastea I thought you were perfect.

Second time at tastea:
— can’t remember what I ordered the first time but I never felt the urge to return after that first visit
— second visit tonight due to my sister in law wanting to try it. Unilocal had excellent reviews and I ordered what seemed to be one of their most popular drinks peach me sweet tea. My husband also ordered a passion attraction. Both beverages looked refreshing and seemed like they would be delicious.
But, unfortunately, taste wise. the drinks were yet again disappointing. Tea taste is not strong and it tasted more like syrup drink with super mushy bits of fruit (and I typically enjoy having fruit bits in my beverages). Passion attraction was also overly sweet.
Atmosphere — clean and had quite a few tables for 2

Butt load of fries always makes me feel wonderful ** heart eye emoji. I swear they powder those fries with some addictive substance… jk. TASTEA is still one of my favorite tea places in Rowland. Located in Yes Plaza, it’s a great place to go after dinner in the surrounding restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend!

My second time here. They have quite a variety of drinks so plenty of things to try. It took me awhile to decide on a drink, but my friend recommended the Peachee Lychee so I had that. The first time I went this place didn’t leave a lasting impression, but this time around I really enjoyed the Peachee Lychee. I love how it comes with real Lychee fruit! The tea was refreshing and delicious; not overly sweet and not too bitter. The real fruit added a nice touch to the drink. The staff was friendly and the place is very clean. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area.
Review ⁷⁄₁₀₀ for 2016

This is my absoulte FAVORITE boba place! Their boba always seems to be cooked perfectly and doesn’t leave that weird slime on your teeth (yeah I’ve had some pretty bad boba). Tastea is better for FRUIT FLAVORED DRINKS (so if you’re a strictly tea kind of person, I would suggest going to Lollicup in Diamond Jamboree, Irvine or Ten Ren in Rowland Heights). Their fries and chicken are also delicious! I like that you can control the amount of sweetness in most of their drinks (so you know it’s not premade). It’s noisy and constantly busy but I just run in there and grab my order and leave so I don’t have to deal with all the nonsense of trying to talk over teenagers.
My favorites are:
Great White
Matcha Thai (an exceptional milk drink created here)
Ice Blended Watermelon

Tasteaaaa, so delicious. My favorite drink is the great white with honey boba. It’s a white tea with a slight peach flavor. The boba is always cooked perfectly & never hard. I also like the fact that you can pick if you want regular boba or honey boba.
I’ve tried mango all the way & it was pretty good. However, a little too sweet & the green mango bits isn’t good imo.
Their buttloada fries are amazing too. It’s crispy and hella flavorful. It’s like eating popcorn chicken, but fries style. Yum yum yum.
Parking can be a little difficult at night though since it’s located at the yes plaza.

Tastea tastea tastea! I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for this bomb ass boba joint.
Every time I’m in SoCal tastea is a must have. Very refreshing drinks that are consistently made. I usually get the bootea shaker, the unknown, tootea fruitea, personalitea, or the seasonal watermelon lemonade (with watermelon bits). All of these drinks are bomb!!! Cool thing about this place is they use organic tea leaves to brew the tea. That always makes me feel good knowing stuff is organic.
Not a 5 star place because drinks are on the pricier side averaging at about $ 4-​$ 5 depending on what you add in the drink. I usually add the honey boba which I think is an additional 0.50.
Ps: be weary of the drivers in the parking lot. They tend to drive a recklessly and not check blind spots. Risk of accidents is moderate to high.

I have been here numerous times and always pretty satisfied with the service and drinks. However last time i went i wanted to make an order of fries. BUT they said the kitchen was too packed but the person in front of me ordered fries and a couple of people after me ordered karate chicken. Im like da fuq!!!
Usually however the food is good. Its a great snack with your drink and also something to munch on. Drinks are great especially the peach me sweet tea. Most of their flavor fruit drinks come with actual fruits compared to all the other boba places.
Parking is tough especially if you come here on a weekend because of all the other places that are open in the plaza. Come grab a drink but be careful if you order food you might not get any

I honestly loveeeeeeeeeeee TASTEA! This is my go-​to Tastea, even though it is all the way in the heart of Rowland Heights, but I am always willing to make the drive to satisfy my Peach Me Sweetea cravings. Whenever I am in the neighborhood, Tastea is a must for me and it never disappoints.
I always order the Peach Me Sweetea with lychee jelly. I always order this drink because it is not only really refreshing, but it comes with bits of fruits as well, which is always fund to drink. Also, depending on how hungry I am and what time of day it is, I will be bold and order the Buttload Fries and/​or Karate Chicken. The Buttload Fries are really unique. I am not sure what it is coated with, but it is addicting. If I am driving and I pick up one fry to eat, my right hand won’t stop and I will be eating the fries until I arrive home. It is definitely yummy goodness and instant happiness. For the Karate Chicken, you have the option of choosing your level of spiciness from 1 to 5 with 5 being the spiciness. Normally I get 3, but last time I tried 4 and that was spicccccccy, definitely spicier than your average hot cheetos. So if you can handle super hot hot cheetos, then definitely order 4 or 5.
Overall, Tastea never disappoints! The only thing that could be different about Tastea would be if they could open up one closer to my house, so that I can have it every day.

LOVE LOVE LOVE their «Peach Me SweeTea!!!» *highly recommend trying this!
«Peach Me SweeTea» smells and taste heavenly! It has little bits of peaches and strawberries which taste fresh and have just the right amount of sweetness. I adore how their menu have organic teas and NO artificial flavors! *APPROVED from someone who recently finished nutrition! ;)
I always opt for the larger size… 32 oz cup because it keeps me happy longer. If you really want to keep your taste buds extremely happy then get the «JUG» and you’ll be tea-​wasted hehe.
Beside drinks, they also have snacks like popcorn chicken and chocolate chip cookies. They do not take phone orders. but you can order online in advanced like daysss in advanced. Hmm.
TIP:
–Register for their rewards card. it’s FREE! You get $ 2.50 back for every $ 30 spent and a FREE drink on your birthday! :)
–No minimum for Credit Cards
I highly recommend coming here for delicious and refreshing teas that will not put a hole in your colon. :)
P. S. Can you guys expand to Rosemead? I’ll gather all the Boba addicts.

After trying Tastea several times during my college days, I was definitely hooked. Sadly there isn’t a location closer to the SGV area, so I purposely made a stop at Tastea when I was in Rowland Heights.
This Tastea is located in the Yes Plaza, so parking is really difficult to find, especially if you go during prime dinner time where all the restaurants are busy. The spots are really narrow and there’s weird left only, right only lanes — just a mess.
They’re known for their specialtea drinks which are usually filled with black or green tea and pre-​set ingredients, but they also have smoothies slushies, and classic teas. Tastea also has appetizers like popcorn chicken and French fries, but I feel like people mainly come for the drinks.
While I really love their «specialtea» drinks like the Peach Me Sweet Tea and the Strawberry Black Tea, I opted to try their Sea Salt Jasmine Tea with honey boba. This is my go to drink at most tea houses, and I was curious how Tastea makes their sea salt cream since they’re more popular for their fruit drinks. I was surprised at how good the tea was! The jasmine tea was fresh — it didn’t have too strong or too weak of a tea flavor. And the honey boba (Tastea has special green boba!) was cooked perfectly as well. It had that perfect consistency of chewiness that I like in my boba, and with the honey added to it, had that sweetness that added to the overall flavor of the drink. But my favorite part was the sea salt cream on top! The right amount of creaminess and fluffiness, but still had that hint of salt. I pretty much drank all the tea before getting to that cream at the end.
The storefront is not too small with a good amount of tables for people to sit and chat at. The workers are really nice and eager to help, so definitely ask if you need help.
tl;dr — Overall, I would recommend Tastea for drinks if you’re craving boba or something sweet. The drinks here are always on point, but if you ever need a readjustment, they’re happy to help. I think the sea salt jasmine tea ranks pretty high up there on my «sea salt/​milk cream» list, but I still prefer 85’s more. The price is decent, but I still think it’s a little pricey, especially if you like adding add-​ons to your drink. I will be coming back, but during off hours!

Out of all the boba places I have visited throughout the years, Tastea is definitely one of my all-​time favorties! Because Tastea is situated in Rowland Heights where it would take me 40 – 45 minutes to drive from my house, I normally do not visit often. But when I do get to Rowland Heights, I always try to visit Tastea after dinner and/​or Round 1 to enjoy some boba before going home.
I love how clean Tastea is! I also love how there are so many options of flavors to choose from that you can’t go wrong with your choice of drink. I ordered the jasmine milk tea with honey boba and it was delicious from the soft, chewable honey boba to the fresh Jasmine sweetness that complemented well with the honey boba.
Overall, Tastea never disappoints.
P. S. I wished Tastea expanded closer to the L.A. area! I would definitely go there in a heartbeat!

Yes I go to Yes Plaza a lot and many time around I have yet to try Tastea until recently. I had ordered a watermelon slushy drink which was light and amazing. The flavor was just right and I enjoyed it a lot! Or maybe I’m just a super fan of watermelon it’s nice and refreshing during the summer months.
I never really came to this place because the lines would be semi ridiculous but during the late night it wasn’t that busy so we were the first ones to order. Came out really quick and now I understand why this place does get a lot of people also. It’s technically because they have a lot of different options and it does taste really nice!
Sitting wise it seems a little bit hard to do because the tables are usually always full. So I would recommend going here and just picking it up and leaving. But besides that everything else is really good!

I didn’t realize how close City of Industry is to Rowland Heights, so when I saw it would be a less than 5 minute drive from Marie Callendar’s to Tastea, I thouht why not? Parking is crazy here, typical of any Asian plaza. At 8 pm, I had to drive in deep to find a spot. Be careful as some rows are one-​way, so it’s a double whammy to avoid an accident.
Tastea is known for their blended fruit drinks. I didn’t know that their drink names are not so typical either. I got the 20 oz Bootea shaker, a mix of mango, peach, and pineapple black tea with black jelly for $ 3.75. Fruity and sweet. Had more ice than I would like so future orders of mine will be made with requests for less ice.

Feature:
–I was in the near area when I decided that I wanted some tea. I Unilocaled and found this amazing place and thought, hey, I had to try it. Well, I am so glad I did. I had the peach me sweet tea which had bits of peaches and strawberries. The fruits were fresh and so was the sweet tea. I highly recommend getting this if you are a first timer. It met my high tea standards.
Improvement:
–More strawberry and peach bits would have been great!
Tips:
–Parking lot in front. I came on a weekday so it was not crowded and I did not have to look too hard for parking.
–Credit cards accepted.

Hmmm did I order wrong? Was excited to try this place out since it had so many positive reviews.
I ordered the jasmine green milk tea with boba. Why is the boba green? The tea was ok… And the boba was overcooked– not chewy just melty bleh.
A disappointment especially when it’s scorching hot and I needed a refreshing drink

Disgatsting
Ugh
Not wow
