Drinks and Tea Torrance

Looks like this location is permanently closed.

Jasmine milk tea was not good. Too strong! One sip and I had a headache!!! They need to serve better quality. I threw mine away. The guy worker was awesome though!

I don't know why this place has changed ownership like 3 times. 3 different store names but the same place and same products. Imo, the drinks are a bit pricey. Starting at like $6.50 or $7 is kinda crazy. They have a good selection though so that's nice. But if you're looking for value, Tastea down the street has bigger portions for about the same price, and a drive through. Their items aren't necessarily better, but in the end all these boba places are using flavor powders and syrups for 75% of their drinks anyways. My Wintermelon drink was pretty good tho but I probably wouldn't come back again.

I stopped by the Lotus Tea Lounge, not realizing this spot was previously another boba place following Ding Tea. I visited during their soft opening and took advantage of a buy-two-get-one-free promotion. There was no line on a Sunday afternoon.

The staff was friendly and efficient, delivering my drinks quickly. While the drinks were a bit too sweet for my taste, the service made up for it. Next time, I plan to order with a reduced sugar level. Very reduced sugar level. I'll definitely give it another try and update my review accordingly.

This place used to be a DING TEA franchise. After defranchising, hiking up the prices while subsequently lowering the quality of ingredients, this place is NOT it anymore. I really want to love it, but quite frankly I can not justify my patronship to this establishment. FFS they were selling tacos last time I went on the corner like tf? The menu is blatently copying what ding tea used to be and its kind of just sad. :(P.S. The 19 year old youngster called me a slur after I placed my order. I bet he was a part of the youth takeover at del amo!P.P.S. I just looked at the website associated with the store. They sell "maca root sex tea"???? What is that? Why is it 70 dollars, discounted to 15 dollars, and why is it not on the menu? Maybe I could surpass my opinion of drinks and tasteless tea if they followed through on their promise and sold Maca Root Sex Tea. Just a quick afterthought. I will NOT be giving my business to DT for the time being. May come around and try the sex tea if it ever comes on the menu. Cheers.

Wait a minute... is it Ding Tea or "Drinks and Tea," or both? Regardless, this boba shop keeps it simple and offers a solid drink option for those that want boba in the area.They have all of the classic drinks you can think of at any boba shop. You can select your tea base, flavor syrup, and milk of choice. They offer some plant-based milk options which was great for me. I went with an Oolong milk tea and it was made well by the boba barista.Not much to say other than it delivers on what it offers. Quick service, easy parking available in the plaza, and I was set.

Matcha Slush's 30% Sweet was just the right amount of sweetness and the matcha flavor was strong and delicious! When I made Oat Milk with House Special Latte's 30% Sweet, the overall taste was a bit strange, like coconut?

Very fantastic combination of test

Now that they have changed to DT drinks and tea, we will not be back. The Thai Tea is gross now! So disappointed, we loved it when it was Ding Tea! The service was great but, unfortunately that doesn't matter when you're product is no good.

Don't know how they've got 4.5 stars on the reviews. I ordered house milk tea and couldn't finish even a half. I feel like I drink something that has chemicals.

Clean kitchen area, their drinks are ? and are made in a reasonable time.Their murals on the walls seem to change a lot? But that might just be me. Who cares, they are pretty paintings

No longer Ding Tea, I'm not sure if it was intentionally named and branded to closely resemble Ding Tea (which was the previous location name) but the drinks are not comparable. The milk teas were bland, the coffees were excessively sweet or very bitter taste. Very dissapointed, pictures of previous ding tea location are still posted despite the drinks not being offered and a completely different establishment all together.

Drinks and Tea is not as good as Ding Tea before. The drink was too sweet. Go to Gong Cha or Ding Tea Lomita.
