Came back again to try out some different combos of their Red Apple Jasmine Teas. Firstly, I am not a huge fan of cheese foam but this green apple cheese foam is really good! It is not salty at all and has a very nice tarty flavor to it. The Red Apple Jasmine Milk Green Tea was very nice as well. I would definitely get it again but it is hard to say that I this is better than the version without milk. Although both are super delicious, the one without the milk does have a cleaner and more refreshing flavor and because of that, I think it will continue to be my favorite. read more

I stopped by a while ago for their BOGO deal on the green apple cloud jasmine coconut and violet blossom jasmine latte after seeing a post about it. The drink prices were similar to other tea shops in the area. They had samples by the register to try. I think next time I'll give the apple jasmine iced tea drinks a try too. I added the cheese foam layer to my green apple drink and it made the drink slightly salty? I think I'm just not a fan of cheese foam topping. It tasted like apple milk tea. The violet blossom jasmine latte I went with the recommended less sugar but I think I would go with slightly higher sugar level for my drinks in the future as it wasn't quite as sweet as I preferred. Good for thsoe who like their drinks on the less sweet (almost no sugar?) side. The violet blossom flavor is much stronger than the jasmine tea and the floral flavor wasn't my cup of tea. I liked that the menu states which drinks are caffeine free and that they automatically pack the drinks in a cooler bag for take out orders. read more

One of a couple of tea places in 99 Ranch food court. They focused too much on apple flavor when they first opened, but now they are offering other fresh fruit flavors, which is way better. I tried the melon milk tea, which was surprisingly tasty. There are samples of the tea for you to try. They use no artificial flavors, syrups or concentrates. Cane sugar is used for sweetness. This place is for cold drinks. They do have a few hot drinks, but my friend tried them and didn't like it. I suggest for hot drinks, go elsewhere. Plenty of seating in the food court. Decor is better than some other food courts in the neighborhood. Server was helpful in recommendations. read more

Next time I'm here, I am definitely trying their regular fruit based green teas. The business is so kind and always has free samples. I took one and loved it. I came back the other day and got an Apple jasmine milk tea. This was not my cup of tea, both literally and metaphorically. I think it was too light on the tea base/ fruit essence and was too milky. I still finished it though. I think that this place has a great ambiance with excellent customer service. It is located in a food court so there are many businesses surrounding it. read more

It was a hot summer day so my friends and I were looking for a cold, refreshing drink. We decided to check this place out since they had a deal, BOGO (buy one get one free) for their watermelon drinks. I ordered the watermelon tea with less sugar, less ice, and crystal boba. The service was friendly but you could only get the discount at the cashier, not the iPad kiosk so that took longer. The watermelon tea drink was very refreshing and I could tell they used real watermelon, not powder. It was also not too sweet which is the ultimate Asian compliment. I would come back, their apple drinks looked good too. read more

Herb Nook Lab is a small, modern fruit tea focused shop in Flushing's 99 Ranch Food Hall that leans into a very fresh ingredients first idea rather than the usual syrup heavy bubble tea setup. I found the space compact and intentional, more of a quick stop tea lab than a lingering café, with a calm, slightly minimalist vibe that still felt welcoming for a short break in the neighborhood. What stood out most to me was how fruit forward the menu is, especially the green apple and red apple based drinks that lean on freshly juiced fruit rather than concentrates. I tried the green apple jasmine tea, one of the most talked about drinks on the menu, and it balanced crisp fruit brightness with floral tea notes perfectly. I also sampled the red apple milk tea and an apple foam combination, both of which pushed that same apple flavor into something creamier. There were also more experimental drinks like coconut based blends and lighter cucumber jelly style add ins that kept everything feeling refreshing rather than heavy. The service experience came across as attentive and friendly. I was offered a sample to help me decide, and the staff guided me through some of the more unusual combinations. My drink was made fresh, so there was a short wait during a busier moment, but the overall flow still felt straightforward and organized for a small counter style setup. The focus was clearly on freshness and customization, especially with sugar levels and drink adjustments. read more

Not sure why the name since I didn't see any herbs on the menu and the server I asked didn't know either. Anyway, just another new tea shop in the ling line of tea shops in Flushing. We wanted warm beverages on a cold day, but they currently can only heat up two of the options, so we got both. Red Apple Snow Bud Jasmine Green Milk Tea was quite refreshing with apple cheese foam (extra) and at half sugar, though I would go even less next time. Probably a 7/10. Did not really like the boring Bamboo & Jasmine with pecan whipped cream and half sugar. Score it 5/10. They are still working out their kinks, but service was quick and friendly. I would come back. read more

They were giving out samples at the 99 ranch market food court for their best selling green apple juice. If I remember correctly they said they don't use syrup for their flavoring and it is all from real apple juice. It tasted very fresh and clean so I decided to give it a try. I got the large red apple milk juice with the green apple cream foam on top (extra +$1). It was delicious and creamy. The large drink itself was almost $10. I don't think I would crave apple juice milk enough to pay this much again but it was good to try. But I think the premium would be worth it if you are willing to pay for a healthier option for drinks. If I'm back around the area would love to try their other drinks! read more

I found this place located in the 99 Ranch Eat Up food court off of Instagram. Herb Hook Lab has lots of interesting choices for their drinks. They had a sample of their Green Apple Jasmine drink which was what I wanted to try. It was sweet and you get both the jasmine and apple flavors. You can fully customize your drink when you order on the kiosk or by mobile. I chose to get the popping water chestnut boba. There is also an option to get an apple cold foam on top too that I didn't do. The cups come in small and large for sizes. Service was quick and you can watch on the screen when your order is ready. If you put your phone number in your order, you will also get a text message when it is ready. I would definitely come back to try more drinks in the future. read more

Came to 99 Ranch food court and as my friend and I were walking around, we were given samples from Herb Nook Lab. We were hooked at first taste. The green apple snow bud jasmine green tea was a winner. It was so refreshing that we needed more. I would order with less sugar like 30%. Only thing was the drink size is pretty small for the price. The lady was very nice and she explained how their teas were made. I would definitely return to try their other teas. read more

Green apple Jasmine green tea $6- really good, both flavors came thru pretty equally I'd say. The water chestnut popping boba always adds a nice juicy crunch. read more

My friend and I were trying the drink samples in the 99 ranch food court and preferred the ones at Herb Nook Lab, so we decided to order from here. I heard that they use real apple juice and no additional syrups. I ordered the small Green Apple Jasmine Green Tea ($5.99) , and my friend ordered the Kyoto Roasted Green Tea Latte. My drink was refreshing with a good balance of apple and green tea. My friend said her drink had a strong roasted taste and she enjoyed it. read more

Tried this place for the first time, happy to see a tea place that does apple tea. I liked the 雪芽青蘋果冰茶七分糖+奶蓋 green apple jasmine green tea with less ice and less sugar 70% with foam (can do without foam as well, doesn't really add to it, the tea is good enough). Also tried紅蘋果奶茶 red apple jasmine green milk tea less ice and 70% but that felt a bit sweeter, I recommend the green one over the red. Would come back to try other teas next time. read more

This place is a very clean-looking, modern tea shop in the New World Mall food court. I was intrigued by the new black sesame cream so I got the da hing pao milk tea. Service was great; they let me try the tea before buying! It was good, but I do wish it was stronger overall. The sweetness and milkyness level was perfect though. The black sesame cream was good, but needed more black sesame in my opinion! read more

Got the bamboo and jasmine and thought it was just average. Taste like jasmine tea and unsure where the bamboo is suppose to be. The staffs were super nice and proactive but the drink just average. They were giving out green apple jasmine tea sampler and I thought that was slightly better but not by much. read more

Herb nook lab is a bit of a misleading name, but a total win on taste. They have some of the most fragrant jasmine tea I've had lately. The Green Apple Jasmine (30% sugar) was perfectly balanced--crisp apple paired with floral notes. The portion size is a bit smaller than usual, but the drinks are so refreshing and tasty! read more

I was intrigued by the unique drinks being offered here and decided to try it. Got a super unique drink- Bamboo Coconut Tide with cucumber jelly. It sounded so refreshing and it was. Very light, even the cucumber jelly is soft. The base is oolong and I definitely got cucumber and grass which I found refreshing because I was looking for something light. I enjoyed it but it's definitely an acquired taste. When you order on the self service pad, you get a text with your number. The screen in the shop shows if your number is ready or in the works. Once it's ready, their PA system announces it quite loudly so you don't miss it and you also get a text. read more

I got the green apple jasmine, and as a non fruit tea lover, this was really good! It's really refreshing and the jasmine is subtle. The drink wasn't too tart or too sweet. The green apple cheese foam did taste more artificial than the drink itself, but not too bad. Apparently they only use real green apples and will remake your drinks if it's not sour/sweet enough since they can't ever be sure of the taste of the apples. I didn't confirm whether this is true or not since our friend who took us there said that's what was told to her by the owner. Could be that they only do it for that one time, but that still gives me confidence that they're using real apples. read more

I had low expectations for the Apple jasmine tea since the last time I ordered an apple tea from a bubble tea spot, it made me nauseous. However I really enjoyed this one and it was pretty too. It was sweet and refreshing, perfect for summer. It kind of reminded me of Vita's version of Apple jasmine tea but this one was fruitier. The portion is quite small though and I kind of wanted another read more

Love this place. The shop is clean, modern, and very welcoming. They focus more on fresh juice-based drinks, fruit tea, and fruit milk tea -- no boba, but honestly you won't miss it. The fruit is very fresh, and you can tell the juice is freshly made, not from syrups or concentrates. Everything tastes clean, balanced, and refreshing. The flavors are spot on. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Definitely a great spot if you're into real fruit drinks and fresh milk tea. Will be back for sure! read more
