    They have popcorn milk tea. It was a little on the sweeter side and missing the tappiochi from another store but it was still very good. Worth the price too since the drink sizes are big. It also looks like they sell uji matcha. Service was fast. We also came 30 minutes before they were closing so it wasnt busy.

    Toasted Brown Sugar Boba oat milk, Yuzu matcha with sparkling water

    I'v ordered tea deliveries from this place a few times. Most of my teas tasted very good especially the yuzu matcha with sparking water. Boba oat milk tea was a bit sweet but the boba was very tasty. I don't usually drink boba milk tea so it was a rare treat. The earl grey latte was yummy as well. The only drink wasn't good was the coconut milk matcha latte. Don't know why there were chunks of coconut milk in the tea drink! So I had to dump the whole thing. Overall it's a solid tea shop that I will order deliveries from time to time!

    My daughter and I were shopping in the area and stopped by to get our refreshing drinks. This is my second visit. Ordered: Coco Mango Green Thai Milk Tea with no ice Ambiance is nice and clean. This is grab and go boba shop. Friendly staff and service. I will definitely be back.

    PARKING: Free in the plaza it is located. My husband and I came to get our boba fix. No one was there so service was quick. JASMINE GREEN MILK TEA: I got this with brown sugar boba and less ice. Tasted exactly how I expected and enjoyed it!

    If you're a coconut person, taro person or both, I would recommend Coconut Taro Blend. This was a rather thicker drink especially with the coconut jelly, but the flavor is perfect. You get a great earthy blend of both the coconut and taro flavors. I ordered mine at half sweet which is 60% and I would say it's perfect! Anything more, I would say would make it too sweet. This drink was creamy and refreshing!

    Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea and Mango Pomelo Sago

    Great tea spot very aromatic. We got the oolong and mango sago. Ordered off a kiosk and waited about 10 minutes

    I ordered the Strawberry Fruit Snowy ($6.95). It's thick, sour, creamy, and sugary. I appreciated its freshly diced strawberries, but this drink is an acquired taste. Personally, I did not enjoy its playful & sour aftertaste; rather, this gloopy drink made me crave water. I arrived at The Tea (Hacienda Heights) on Monday (around 12:10PM). Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Staff held a bright smile, and staff spoke softly & kindly. The drink took one minute and nine seconds. Extremely fast! As mentioned, I disliked my Strawberry Fruit Snowy ($6.95). Although its ingredients tasted fresh, it had an off-putting texture and aftertaste. It's a potent, sour beverage. Strangely enough, I felt more thirsty after drinking it. Regarding ambiance, The Tea (Hacienda Heights) is minimal. It feels like an order-and-leave location. The music is extremely loud; the one counter had backwards chairs; and the location had no restroom. It's a fairly small place with its door left wide open. I had to swat my hand around as a fly buzzed near my face. Strangely enough, despite the lack of seating & space, there's customer wifi with password. It's also pleasant how parking is very plentiful and simple. Overall, The Tea (Hacienda Heights) offers affordable and generously-sized beverages with delightful & welcoming service. Although I vehemently disliked the Strawberry Fruit Snowy ($6.95), I can appreciate its existence. 4 out of 5

    Located in a big place by Azusa amd Colima. Plenty of parking spaces. The shop is small without a restroom and tables. To go orders only. The order was placed with the cashier up front, touchless payment system was accepting using my mobile phone. The wait time was a bit long and seemed to be served randomly. I only ordered 1 drink, but my order came 2 customers after. And it was a simple order; #18 milk tea. The milk tea itself was tasty but the milk was not smooth. More like powdered milk Its alright, if you want to get your milk tea fix. Dont expect to much. It gets a 3.1 out of 5.

    Uji Matcha Latte: 5/5. Highly recommended! Quality matcha, pairs well with brown sugar boba. Locates in a big plaza with plenty of parking, you can order at the cashier or self order. Service was fast.

    Found this spot after a football tournament in the area and it hits so good. The coco mango is a refreshing slush with fresh coconut bits. The mango pomelo sago was dessert in a drink. Peach momo is a yummy tea with cream and jelly. Service is friendly and this will definitely will be our tea spot when we are in the area.

    I stopped by because I needed some tea on the way home and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this place was. We ordered through the kiosk and waited about five minutes for our drinks. I had the Uji Matcha Latte, while my wife had the Golden Mellow Milk Tea. Both were nicely made, perfectly sweetened at 25%, and tasted like quality ingredients. We left very satisfied.

    Osmanthus Oolong Pure tea and Dragonfruit Aiyu...no cream
    Stephanie M.

    Got the osmanthus oolong and dragonfruit aiyu with no cream. My pure tea was with no sugar, nice brewed flavor, it was a little strong for me but others may like it still. For me if I could adjust, I'd add a little more osmanthus. My mom's dragonfruit 50% sugar had a very nice floral aroma and perfect sweetness for her. There was soft clear jello inside as well. Pretty good drink I'd get next time...or later after dinner if we come back lol. Limited seating inside as it's more of a take out tea but the AC was strong and worth it to get away from the sudden heat wave in end of February. Nice and friendly staff.

    Lychee Aiyu

    First off that I noticed. They have a wide variety off options of drinks. The location looks fresh . I guess that goes along with their fresh drinks. They have very limited seating. Not a location for groups more than 2. I had ordered the lime smash drink at 30%. . Wow. It is definitely for people that like tarty drinks. Serenity, one of the girl was sweet enough to make me another drink full sweetness. Still a bit sour me. She did recommend a lychee drink which I end up changing it to. She was super sweet and helpful. If you happen to run across. She will help you with any of your needs or give the best commendations.

    Matcha lovers, this one is worth the stop…read more I visited Chayan not too long after they opened, and this was such a good find in Rowland Heights. First of all, the space itself is beautiful. The traditional Chinese-inspired aesthetic gives the shop such an elegant, calm atmosphere. It isn't overly flashy or trying too hard to be trendy--it just feels peaceful and thoughtfully put together. Definitely the kind of place where you can slow down and actually enjoy your tea. But let's talk about the reason I came here: the Matcha Green Tea Frappe. SO. GOOD. What immediately stood out to me was that this didn't taste like one of those drinks where the actual matcha gets completely buried underneath sugar. You can genuinely taste the matcha and the quality of the tea. It has that distinct matcha flavor while still being creamy and enjoyable. And the topping?! Instead of just throwing regular whipped cream on it, they top it with whipped matcha and roasted peanuts, which gives it this really interesting combination of creamy, earthy, nutty flavors. The peanuts add a little texture and complement the matcha surprisingly well. It tasted intentional rather than just sweet for the sake of being sweet. That's probably my biggest recommendation before coming here: if you're looking for an extremely sugary, dessert-style matcha, this may not be what you're looking for. This is much more about actually tasting the tea. If you want something loaded with sugar where the matcha disappears somewhere in the background... Starbucks is right there. But if you appreciate a more balanced drink where you can actually taste good-quality matcha, I absolutely recommend giving Chayan a try. Beautiful atmosphere, quality tea, unique flavors, and an overall really relaxing experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

    4/5 For some of you…read morewho might not know, CHAYAN is: * Chayan -- a UK / London-born tea brand * Origin: London, United Kingdom, originally known as Tastetea * Specialty: Modern-style Chinese tea, frappes, and "chappuccinos" topped with cream and nuts * The brand has also expanded internationally, including locations in Canada such as British Columbia. LOCATION & PARKING This CHAYAN is located inside Pacific Plaza on Colima Rd. The parking lot is shared with the other businesses in the plaza, and it's not very big, so parking can sometimes be a little limited. The shop is on the ground level, right next to the stairs that lead up to the second floor. ORDERING & ATMOSPHERE Once you walk into the store, there are two self-order kiosks on the left where you can place your own order. You can also walk straight to the counter and have one of the staff members help you. The staff members I interacted with were nice and friendly. Usually, there aren't too many customers inside, so the atmosphere tends to be pretty quiet and relaxing. PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA I've visited this place twice. The first time, I ordered the Peach Oolong Milk Tea with their chestnut boba--or whatever their specialty topping is called. Sorry, I forgot the exact name, but it's definitely not the regular black boba. The drink was pretty good. It wasn't overly sweet, and I liked how the peach flavor blended nicely with the tea. You could still taste the tea instead of the peach flavor completely overpowering it. DA HONG PAO MILK TEA The second time, I ordered the Da Hong Pao Milk Tea with the same chestnut topping. This one was decent as well. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing, but still an enjoyable milk tea. OVERALL Both times I came here, I had a good experience. I'm giving CHAYAN 4 stars because while none of the drinks really "wowed" me, they were still good enough for me to consider this place above average overall. Friendly staff Nice and quiet atmosphere Drinks aren't overly sweet Good tea flavor Easy ordering with kiosks or at the counter The drinks just need a little more of that "wow factor" for me to give this place a full 5 stars. Will definitely come back again and try some of their other drinks!

    They have a kiosk and a rewards system. I came here right before closing time but was craving some…read moreboba. Drinks here are a bit cheaper than the other 4 boba shops in the same plaza. I got their kumquat lemonade with lychee ($4.49) and a pearl milk tea ($4.99). The boba was not too overcooked and had a good chew. I like that they can adjust the sweetness since I usually get 30% less sugar. The staff is nice and the place is clean and bright. Parking lot can get packed.

    Wow, I haven't seen boba prices like this in years. With drinks starting at just $3.99 and free…read moretoppings like boba, mini boba, pudding, coffee jelly, and tea jelly (other toppings are extra), it's one of the better values around. They also use Häagen-Dazs ice cream as a topping! A friend recommended this spot, and even on a Wednesday night it was packed. It's located in the same plaza as Chubby Skewers with a large shared parking lot, though the plaza itself can get busy. Ordering is easy through the self-service kiosks, and they also have a rewards program. The staff was incredibly friendly. My partner decided at the last minute that he wanted to add their mini pearls, and they happily accommodated the change without any hassle. I got the large macchiato (around $6). I would've liked a stronger tea flavor, but considering the price point, not bad. The mini boba wasn't my favorite, but if you plan on adding it, I'd recommend asking for light boba unless you're a serious boba lover. My partner's drink was probably close to 40% boba, which was a little much for our taste. Just know this is strictly a grab-and-go kind of place. There aren't any indoor tables, although plenty of people were hanging out with their drinks outside. Likely would come back to try their other drinks!

    This place was solid in all the drinks from refresher to matcha latte!!…read more We got their lemon cha @ regular 100% sweet which was very refreshing and flavorful with a good balance of sweet and sour and it tasted like real fruits, not artificial! The matcha matcha was heavy in the sense that you taste alot of matcha while still being sweet. I love sweet einspanners but have GERD so sometimes it's too sweet for me but because it's matcha foam instead of cream on top of the latte, it was the perfect amount of "not TOO too sweet" just perfect. and this was at 100% sweet btw!

I usually stick with lychee green tea, so I wasn't sure how I would feel about the rice wine flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. You can taste a subtle hint of the rice wine along with the lychee, and the flavors actually blend really well together without being overpowering. The Strawberry Slush was also really good! We got it at 125% sweetness, and it ended up being the perfect level of sweetness for us. I was hoping to try the matcha as well, but unfortunately they were sold out when we came. I'll definitely be coming back, and hopefully I'll finally get to try the matcha next time!
