Best (milk) tea in town. But be aware there is always an extra fee on top of the milk tea, even when ordering in store through the kiosk

Passion peach tea was good. Strong tea flavor! A little pricey though. Worth.

Another delicious boba from HNTea, but this time in Tustin! While out with my family today, we stopped by for a quick drink. This store is self order on the kiosk/iPad just like the other HNTea locations, so it's incredibly simple to place an order and get in and out. I've never had to wait in line at any of the HNTeas that I've been to, and their drinks are consistent and delicious. I love the emphasis on real tea flavors versus artificial or overly sweet fruit bobas. I love the mountain, jasmine, and even the chocolate tea! Always a hit, and equal to the quality at Orobae without the long lines.

The fresh milk tea is quite delicious, and the pearls are also chewy.Personally, I think 25% sugar is sweet enough

The drinks here are great, albeit expensive; the prices, however, are not much higher than what you would expect from boba nowadays but they’re a far cry from pre-pandemic level prices for drink and tea shops.Their most popular options are always a good bet, but I found even 25% sweetness level to be a bit too sweet for my liking. When I went, I didn’t see anyone at the counter, but there was a touchscreen display where I could order from and I didn’t have to wait too long for my order to come out.

It's about time I leave a review for this little gem. Literally every single time I'm in OC I have to stop here and buy the blackberry, strawberry, and peach tea home. The price is on the higher side but it is so worth it if you are a fan of strong fragrant tea with real fruits like me. I personally cannot stand those powdered, syrupy drinks. I also find it really cool that they tell you how much fruits they use in a cup. The service here is great every time. The place looks modern and spacious without annoying decorations. I would be back again!

I tried this out for the first time (got the mountain rock latte cold) and I am kicking myself for not trying it earlier. Their teas are so good, smooth, and strong, and it's the perfect place to catch up with a friend or just hang out/study. It's spacious, relatively quiet, and their drinks are bomb. I already can't wait to be back

I came on a weekday off hour like 1:30pm. My tea student friend shared that the distinct tea flavor was still present within the black tea latte. Their crushed ice a La Chick fil A in the drinks was refreshing. We liked all the customization choices regarding sweetness level and types of milk. Limited Parking is tough and it dumps you onto two high volume streets (El Camino Real and Newport Ave) so factor those in when making a pit stop. There's a sneaky "operating fee" charge tacked on that wasn't specified anywhere. Even though it is nominal, I can see it accumulating across hundreds/ thousands of receipts. Not cool. I'll be asking about that if I visit again.

STILL my favorite fruit tea spot in OC. Plus I love their atmosphere. It's my go to work spot because it's generally empty and quiet. The barista sometimes plays music but it's quiet and in the back. Today whoever was working played really nice soft ballads and it fit the vibe of the tea spot. Additionally the wifi is stable and reliable and there are tons of seats and outlets for charging. Love you HN Tea, the best alwaysSeats: indoor tables and working tablesParking: free lotWifi: yes freePayment: cashless preferred, tap to pay enabledVibe: quiet working tea shopDress code: casual
Great space for work and gathering with free WiFi and plenty of seatings. Love the strong tea taste

I got the passion peach green tea and it was pretty good. I asked for agar boba and lychee jelly, but they don't have lychee jelly. The cashier asked if I want aloe instead, and I said no, but she ended up charging me for it anyways, and extra $.75. I ended up paying over $10 for 1 drink, which I don't think is worth it at all. I'll stick to 7 leaves lol

Very nice and clean place. I love the fact that they have organic teas and organic milk. That's really good stuff. The teas are very strong and I love the taste. It's not watered down at all. Also get the boba with your drinks. The boba tasted great and had just enough sweetness without being overly sweet. Another great find in the area. I also really liked how they have a computer with self ordered. It's very convenient and let the people work on making the drinks instead trying to take people's orders.

Favorite quality organic tea shop with unique coffee and foam options by far. This place is worth the drive, wherever you are. This review is long overdue, but the first few times I've had their drinks, they've been incredibly delicious. Lately, my favorites have been the HNTea Latte with half sugar and the Jasmine Coffee Latte, and honestly, any of the cheese caps with tea are refreshingly perfect down to the consistency after you give it a good shake, and the small bits of ice that seem to dilute the drink more evenly than large chunks of ice. Lastly, organic ingredients are not cheap, but their prices are cheaper than places that saturate their drinks with cheap tea and artificial syrups.The drinks are also carefully packaged with a seal and a thick multifunctional lid for straws or sipping, and you can tell the workers take good care to hand craft every drink to your taste.

Most underrated boba spot in OC! Wide selection of freshly brewed teas that expand upon your typical selection. Highly recommend the cheese foam; HN Tea achieves that perfect savory/sweet balance! Drinks are not as sweet as other places, so don't be afraid to get normal sugar (75%). Interior is spacious & outlets are available. Great spot to hang out or study!Personal recommendation: Cheese Cap Mountain Rock Tea
