I wanted to try someplace new but broo did I get the short end of the stick? I got the Champ milk tea with boba and the boba was overcooked (too soft) and the milk tea had no pronounced tea flavor as I thought it would. Dare I say watered down. 5.75 wasnt worth it :( I don't want to be mean and want to provide an honest review Im glad to support always small businesses! read more

I work in the same plaza, so during my lunch break, I opted for boba over food and stumbled across this establishment. First off, they sell boba ice cream bars (they were sold out when I went, not that I could buy it anyway since I was on my lunch break). This is located inside a grocery store. So once you walk in, the counter to order is straight to the back. They have a limited menu, but I find most places like that serve the best tea. I opted for the roasted milk tea with boba and I loved it. When it's roasted, the milk tea has a more robust flavor to the tea and is enhanced within the flavors. Absolutely loved it. Probably my favorite milk tea I've had here. Will definitely make more stops when I work. High recommended! read more

Tea Champ - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

We were in the Hacienda Heights area and googled this boba shop. Their menu is limited, not a lot of options. I had brown sugar boba and kumquat green tea on a hot day. I thought it was ok. Their boba was fresh and soft. However the tea wasn't anything special. read more

I've heard about Tea Champ ever since it opened and finally got to try it last night. They took over the old Tenju location and changed the interior inside. Much more inviting and spacious. Their regular size is what you would consider a "Large" and their Large size is MASSIVE. You can tell they use quality ingredients for their teas. Highly recommended! read more

I have been to this tea place a total of three times. Not impressed. Way overpriced. $5+ for one drink and they're not even good. If you were to add any toppings be prepared to pay $6 after tax for it. This place is pretty empty and why am I not surprised read more

Talk about a hidden gem. Situated in what used to be the location of Tenju Tea House, Tea champ is definitely the champ of teas. This newly operated business prides itself on their fresh ingredients and impeccable service. I came here because it was a recommended spot from a friend. I originally did not have high expectations, because SoCal has been populated by numerous boba joints, that a new establishment popping up wasn't surprising. I was originally hesitant to grab a drink outside because being on the Ketogenic Diet meant that my sugar intake is limited. However the blistering heat of our beautiful California weather coerced me to go out of my way for some refreshments. Having forgotten the name of the tea bar my friend recommended, I struggled to pinpoint the location. After what seems to be an interminable trek up and down the 99 ranch plaza, I finally caved and contacted my friend again for the business information. After a quick and glib conversation with my friend, I was once again back on my journey for the magical elixir of a refreshment (as described by my friend). He informed me that it was situated inside Champion Gourmet, but isn't that where Tenju was before they moved? Is he talking about Tenju? Did I waste my time coming here for nothing? Upon entering Champion Gourmet, to my surprise, there stood a simple and quaint tea stand where the former Tenju used to be. I was greeted by a smile from their staff, and she proceeded to ask me how my day was and if I needed assistance on the menu. I told her I was on a low sugar diet, and immediately she threw out some recommendations to me. Talk about attentiveness. Upon listening to her recommendations, the Kumquat tea stood out to me, and she ameliorated my selection by informing me that was also her favorite. I ordered the Kumquat Iced Tea with 0% sugar. Eagerly awaiting for my drink, I decided to make this place a yelp page just to facilitate and make it easier for my fellow yelpers to discover this hidden gem whether it's good or not. But the service itself is definitely top notch. After a minute or two, my drink was ready to go through my taste test. Approximately 2 or 3 sips later, I reached my verdict. 1) I will give this place the amount of stars it deserves 2) I will give an in-depth review of my experience here 3) I will be coming back here throughout this season we call summer to alleviate my body from dehydration. Tip: 1) This place takes card only on purchases 10 dollar or above. 2) They offer restroom for customers only. read more

Stumbled upon this cute little spot after dim sum next door. To my surprise, the quality of their tea is really tasteful. The menu selections is quite small but it makes it easier to decide. I ended up getting the roasted milk tea & came back another day for the mango green tea. My boyfriend who is very picky approves as well. We will definitely come back! read more

"No Tea No Life." I couldnt agree more! When I first got introduced to Milk Tea, the Jasmine Milk Tea was my go-to beverage. As I started venturing off to different flavors and feeding my guilTEA addiction, I noticed the Jasmine Milk Tea in general was not the same flavor as it was compared to my first time trying it. Today, I relived that day-one moment when I tried their Jasmine Milk Tea at this location. The drink is tasty and FRESH! Not too bitter and not super high on sugar. The lady that took my order was kind with a lovely smile on her face and had a friendly customer service voice. Thanks to her for recommending the 70% sugar and regular ice. It was spot on! The only down part is I should have ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea as a large instead ( the large is 32oz lol). Next time though! If you're around the area, definitely check this new place out! read more

Tea Champ - Jasmine milk tea & grass jelly roasted milk tea (regular sized) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tea Champ to EVERYONE I know ! Why? Because this is the ONLY tea house so far that I will FINISH THE WHOLE CUP of drink ! The other places' tea are NOT as good as here and I will just drink 1/4 of the cup and give the rest to my husband Today I try the "limited Tea Champ speciality coffee with cheese form" (30% sugar ) and it tastes WONDERFUL ! 100/100! A perfect score ! My husband try the "Lemon Fantasia " and it's much BETTER than the "Monk Tea" in Tenju Tea House ! The tea flavor is STRONGER than Tenju so my husband said he will SWITCH to Tea Champ after this ! . 100/100 Perfect score Please come try their drinks and you will taste the difference...especially they use 100% Taiwanese tea!!! That proves the managment REALLY CARED for their quality over the profit and I'm SUPER PROUD of them ! We will be back again and again ! read more

Always enjoy coming here with my friend. The workers are always friendly and the tea is spot on. There is something nostalgic about their milk tea... reminds me of the first time I had it. Would I recommend this place? YES! One of my faves are: Green tea Light oolong tea And milk tea Lychee green tea is good also. read more

Seriously, all the drinks have very good taste because they make them with heart. And the best thing is that they have super large size! Try (roast) milk tea, cream top green tea, kumquat lemon tea... read more

Tea Champ - Taste good! Super large size - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

First time here and we ordered drinks based on their top list. Roasted milk tea with grass jelly - it was recommended with 100% sweetness and it was perfect! It wasn't overly sweet like most boba shops. Everything was great, from the tea, sweetness and topping. You can definitely taste the roasted tea in here. It's gives it a sorta nutty flavor or roasted rice profile. Kumquat green tea - this was also refreshing, recommended at 50% sugar level. It was a bit sour from the kumquat and leaves a tannin afterward. I liked it but didn't love it like the roasted milk tea. Service was great and parking plentiful. They had a largeeeeee size as well. It was like an extra large for 75 cents. Well worth the upgrade. read more

Good job for everything the work are very nice to me. I hope all u guys should have a chance to check it out

Bomb ass big ole boba. Check this new place out. Very nice owners. Definitely come get some

Best and most natural roasted oolong milk tea I ever had. Asked for no sugar and added mini boba. Wish I lived closer so I could have it everyday! read more

It's not your common boba atmosphere, but don't be too quick to judge their boba. The boba was perfect taste and texture. The teas here are very refreshing and very well prepared. Customer service was satisfactory. Me and my family will definitely be back and highly recommend. Fyi, I included this same review on Google. Tea Champ won my review read more

Just came to tea champ today for the first time for an iced lychee green tea and rib eye chips. The person working had 3 people waiting. He processed the next door workers order prior to ours although they were last in line. As a customer, I do not think it was fair. This worker kept his customers waiting for a friend who worked next door. Terrible customer service! As a fellow manager, management, please follow up on the gentlemen who was working at 5:45pm on 5/30 and not attending to the store's customers properly. I would rate the store 0 stars from this experience if I could. I feel disrespected as a customer and may never return. read more

We come here VERY often but never did a review. We love Tea Champ. There are plenty of tea places in this area but this is our favorite. The tea is much more flavorful compared to others. Our favorite is their champ milk tea. Not sure what's in it but we are addicted to it. They only have it on the weekends and we make best efforts to get it every weekend. The team there is very friendly. They even make recommendations on what to try and suggest sugar levels to ensure you are getting the best taste of the tea. The shop has no seating just wall up ordering. Besides tea they also sell a variety of treats and snacks...from chips, to dumplings to jerky. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves great tea! read more

I threw up 3 times after drinking it. The drink itself also tasted super watered down and the pearls had a weird texture

Third trip back to champion gourmet got the roasted milk tea with jelly it's delicious!!!! I recommend this place for boba always tastes fresh and they are very friendly! read more

Solid boba place! I came here based on the other good reviews and was not disappointed! I got the Roasted Milk Tea with boba at 70% sugar and less ice.

best brown sugar milk tea in hacienda heights boba its sooo fresh ans chewy. love it read more

Its so hard to find grass jelly made without sugar but thank you Tea Champ for offering it. You can taste the quality in the drink and another bonus is they have mini agar pearls. I incorporate keto to my diet and these toppings are perfect! I got roasted milk tea(milk isn't keto friendly but I saved my carb intake for this) and I literally finished the drink before we hit the road. You can adjust the sugar for all the drinks to 0% sugar so I will be back soon to try other drinks! read more

Tea Champ - Kumquat Green Tea 30% sugar - fantastic!!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

A good place to hang out during the blistering hot weather we call summer. Stumbled upon this joint as I was doing my morning errand run. As I walked through the front door, I felt a wave of cold air coursing through every strand of my hair. This place has AC!! I was pleasantly greeted by the employee working in the front taking order. I decided to order the Mango Bubble Pop to give it a shot. Upon taking the first sip, I was instantly transported to the first moment I ever had this type of drink. I awoke in Taiwan reliving my memories. Late night hangouts with friends and exploring the hidden crevices of Taiwan. I never thought I would live through this moment here in the States. The taste was very pleasant with intermittent taste bud punch of mango delight! I will be back read more

This is my favorite tea place, the kumquat green tea is the beast out of all the places around here.

Tea is so fresh and good quality. The grass jelly is goooooooood. They also have a lot of different Taiwanese dry goods on sale. They even have mullet roe, woooooah. read more

I came here twice. I think they actually use real tea instead of sugar powder like Quickly. I really wanted a Lychee milk tea but I was on a Non Dairy diet and I couldn't take too much caffine either. The Barista recommended Honey Aloe Green Tea. She said she could use water instead of tea to remove the caffeine factor. I decided to have her use half tea amount. She recommended 30% sweet. It came out great. I sat there for a while on their couch. It was nice and quite and comfortable. The girl apologized to me for the long wait (The lady in front me spent 10 minutes ordering and changed her order like 5 times. LOL). I didn't mind the wait since I was not in a rush. The barista was very nice. After my barista left and a new girl came in. She was really nice too. Last time, I didn't come in. My husband came and got 2 teas. Mine was Kumquat Green tea and his was roasted Oolong. They tasted great. I was so upset why the tea was HUGE though. He said the upgrade was only 50cent more. LOL. Bottom line is. Their regular is already pretty big (looks like 20oz +). The Large looks like 32 ounces. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ricky. Ricky was nice enough to give us multiple samples of drinks and made it to the specifications my friend and I wanted. This is as close as you can get to authentic Taiwanese tea/boba. The attention to detail here is spot on. In addition, all of the staff is very friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in, to the time you walk out. I really enjoy their Champ Milk Tea with agar boba. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I really like this place since there is not much boba place that have tea flavor for these recent years. This place also offer some of the best add-on such as grass jelly I personally think this place have the best one. And the price is very reasonable, 32oz drink for around $5.50? Please give this place a try if you haven't yet, highly recommend read more

Once again, Yelp reviews are not to be trusted. I came here because of the high Yelp rating, but was totally disappointed. Very average boba tea price. Expensive, considering the taste. Their regularl boba milk tea did not taste Taiwanese at all. It was not that good. The roasted milk tea was pretty good, however. read more

Went here after Tokyo Lobby and it was a great place for sweet drinks! The gentleman that was working was really polite and friendly.

the champ milk tea is very good but it only comes on weekends, after you tasted the drink in tea champ than you want to other tea shop the fruit tea will taste like chemical. read more

I came in one afternoon because my friend is a regular here and loves the size for the price. I got the roasted milk tea. On the menu, it did not say that the roasted milk tea automatically comes with grass jelly. I did not like the weird after taste of the grass jelly or the tea, and wouldn't come back here if it wasn't because I tried my friend's order. My friend got a passion green tea which I enjoyed. It has a strong tea flavor to it, which I like, and wasn't too sweet despite being 100% sugar. For now I'll give it a 3 star because of my own experience, but my friend's drink was at least a 4. read more

This is my favorite tea shop! I adore the jasmine milk tea with grass jelly, I highly recommend it!
