    Best oriental afternoon tea experience in SGV! The decor, service, and offerings are just top notch. They accommodated our party well even after our number went down. They even accommodated moving us to a different room so we can have a more intimate experience. Staff taught us proper oriental tea steeping etiquette and process. Certainly a must. The teas were really good quality and everyone in the party had nothing but good comments about them. The staff also explained each type of tea and recommended the notes/flavors. Overall superb experience. I highly recommend this place

    Chaffee is located on the second floor of the "Tea Pot" plaza in Temple City on the corner of Las Tunas and Rosemead Blvd. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing. Service was really good too. The presentation was nice. What I found lacking was the food. The food quality could have been better. I would have appreciated more savory dishes and less store-bought cookies and pastries. I wanted fresh baked goods.

    Background On Visit: Recently bought the mysgv passport and felt quite happy that Chaffee is a participating vendor. Restroom: Restroom is available to use. Credit Cards: They're accepted Location/Parking: Located on the second floor of the teapot plaza on the SE corner of Rosemead Blvd. and Las Tunas. Parking can be found on the ground floor, but it would be recommended to park in the underground parking structure. Ambiance/Decor: Nice ambiance with modern asian furnishings. Plenty of seating through out the shop. Service: Kim, staffer, was friendly, attentive, and informational about the shop. My tea didn't take long to be made. Drink Of Choice: I had the 913 King Oolongs Tea. Loved the floral tea flavor and felt refreshed after drinking it. Chaffee For Thought: Would love to come back to the shop and participating in a tea making class in the near future.

    #124 in my Teaholic Diaries. Located on the second floor of the plaza, Chaffee is an elegant tea house that incorporates traditional Chinese tea culture into a modern tea experience. Their tea rooms are exquisite, and are inspired by traditional Chinese tea houses. I felt like I was in a high end jade shop, and interestingly enough, they have a teapot museum in the middle of the large establishment. In addition to selling loose leaf teas and tea ceremony cupware, they also offer afternoon tea service as well as a few select individual teas/milk teas that are brewed-to-order. I opted for the 913 King's oolong tea and the Cassia milk tea from their iced tea collection. Both drinks were smooth and mellow. The 913 king oolong tea is a signature blend of oolong with ginseng. It was vibrant in color and had a lovely sweet floral taste. My favorite of the two was the cassia milk tea, which was a little on the richer side with a malty flavor profile. Overall, I enjoyed the two drinks and would be interested in trying their other iced teas. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

    Currently if you want to book reservation for tea group it would be $65 per person. Parking: Good luck finding parking on the top floor, cause this plaza gets busy. Most of the time you'll be able to find a parking spot on the underground parking structure. Tie Guan Yin soft serve: texture was nutty like black sesame. It had a slight roasted taste to it with tea underlining. Definitely, would recommend getting their soft serve here. SGV boba passport book: I got to try their 913 King Oolongs Tea with 50% sweetness. They really hit it right on the mark with the sweetness. It was still sweet but not too sweet. Tea mix was inbetween light. Not much seating inside if there are a lot of tea serving reservations booked on the day of. Very spacious, and very beautiful if you're a tea lover like looking at tea pots, tea cups, and different tea bags to buy this is your place to drop by.

    Came last week to hang out with a friend and finally try the tea experience at Chaffee | Ten Fu's & Ten Ren's Tea Boutique. It's located upstairs in Camellia Square Shopping Plaza, right by the iconic floating teapot fountain. Walking inside felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese tea house. The space is beautifully designed with elegant décor, display cases filled with various teapots, and an impressive wall of teas available for purchase. We were led to a quiet semi-private room featuring gorgeous mahogany and cherry elm wood tables and chairs, intricate carvings, abalone inlays, and beautifully crafted wooden partition panels separating the rooms. Our room also had views overlooking a portion of Rosemead Blvd. and a nearby side street. I did have to wait a little before being greeted, but it appeared the staff member was assisting other guests in the back, so it was understandable. The menu offered a wide variety of teas to choose from, and we each selected our own pot. Alongside the tea came a beautifully presented assortment of traditional Chinese tea snacks. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and the staff explained the proper steeping times for the first, second, and third infusions. An electric kettle maintained the perfect water temperature throughout our visit, allowing us to fully enjoy each subsequent brew. The entire experience felt relaxing, elegant, and unhurried--an excellent way to spend an afternoon catching up with a friend. The teas were enjoyable, the setting was stunning, and the service provided a nice introduction to traditional tea appreciation. My only downside was the price. At about $65 per person, I felt the tea snacks didn't quite match the premium cost of the experience. Overall, it was a fun and unique experience to try at least once, especially if you enjoy tea culture, beautiful surroundings, and a slower-paced afternoon with friends.

    Tieguanying soft serve
    Vicky H.

    Beautiful interior and service was very good! We went in just for the soft serve. Even though both types of oolong (913 and Tieguanying) were on the menu they only had matcha and Tieguanying. The oolong flavor in the soft serve was really good - fragrant and strong but not overly so to where it's bitter. My only note is that the day we went the ice cream was a bit crystallized and the whole dessert was full of tea sediments which I was told is not typical. Personally I wouldn't serve something if it was not the normal standard. I still give it a 4 due to flavor and because I could see the potential. I hope to go back to solidify the review.

    Chaffee tea house offers such a unique Chinese high tea experience. The set comes with 10-11 small bites with your choice of tea. The treats are quite small but cute. Their presentation is so adorable. One tip: try your tea before diving into the treats because the sweets will overpower your tea. Mine at least. I ordered Bai Hai Oolong. The interior of this tea house is also so beautifully designed. I visited on a Friday afternoon and peaceful and quiet which I love. Our server was wonderful and helped recommended options. At a $65 per person, is definitely a splurge, but for the presentation and overall experience. It's worth giving it a try!

    Hidden Gem located upstairs in temple city's teapot plaza. Teas from everywhere, tasting rooms, tea tasting programs. Great selection of hot and cold premium teas. Reserve your group tasting in the private rooms. Very nice decor super stylish. Soft serve match green tea and also affogato available. Espresso based drink menu too for coffee lovers.

    When we first came in we were given a sample of one of their teas. Once you order your drink, you go to the back and wait as that is where the drinks come out. there are chairs. The milk tea here taste so healthy. But i guess its a good thing. You can taste the 3 ingredients they add to the drink. The only bad thing was 1 of the teas ran out and it wouldve taken 30 minutes to brew up more. You can also buy from their tea selection and i suppose the many types of pots and cups then have for the tea. They have pretty cute ones. It looks like they also do afternoon tea which is a cute event with friends since you might get a private room.

    My friend saw this afternoon tea option and it was located in the Temple City and named Chaffee so we decided to check it out. It is located in the same plaza that has many tasty food options and also a beauty store on the bottom. This place is located on the second floor and it has a super cute interior. The place is quiet and also very Asian oriented. We sat down on these traditional Chinese chairs that are made with wood and look handcrafted. We were sitting in a nice spot and then our tea service started. Each person gets to decide which tea they would like to have and there is a list. I picked a black tea that was full of boldness. Then came the dessert and cakes. It was super cute and overall each one was a different taste and flavor! I like the setup of it and it was very nicely displayed. Overall we both had a fun time here and it was good to be able to catch up with your friends here! Perfect spot to do so.

    The afternoon tea service at Chaffee isn't bad, but for its price, it's very disappointing. This service is priced at $65 per person, and with tax and tip, will run you closer to $80. Although the snacks are plentiful and presented nicely, their quality seemed like the treats were taken from packaging and simply placed on the tray. I did like some items like the custard taiyaki, but some items such as the spicy peanuts and spicy bean curd were not very good at all. The bean curd in particular was hard and not palatable. The tea selection was good. Each member of your party gets to choose their own tea. I chose the pearl jasmine oolong for myself, but my favorite was the Bai Hao Oolong (Oriental Beauty). The seating area is pretty, and you'll get some nice pictures, but I believe this tea service is overpriced as none of the tea accompaniments felt freshly made.

    Loved the experience here! Tea was phenomenal. You get a selection of a large variety of tea with the paint and steep experience. Very good tea, cookies, and dessert after!

At 50% sweetness, I feel like there is the perfect balance of sugar, tea, and milk. Another solid drink is the Oops Cheese Matcha Smash, which is easily one of their best sellers. This drink is creamy, rich, and indulgent. The layer of cheese foam deepens the flavor of the matcha, making it extra creamy with an enjoyable contrast.
