"The milk tea at this restaurant is amazing - quick, tasty, and definitely worth trying. A Berkeley classic!"
I usually love Asha and my experience is usually wonderful! However, I haven't been back in a while and today when I went in the employee at the register smelled so strong of alcohol and was making me feel so uncomfortable I ended up taking my business elsewhere... I've never had any issues with any of the other staff at Asha until this employee. This is really disappointing as a long term customer of Asha as I would hope the people making my drinks wouldn't be clearly intoxicated, let alone be allowed to work.
I ordered 4 teas and they were all terrible. They were watery, tasteless, and had very little boba, matcha, strawberry, with just a splash of almond milk. The drinks came in generic plastic cups with lids that had what appeared to be a small square of painters tape covering the hole for the straw. Unfortunately, no straws were included. Although my past orders were fine, after this experience, Asha is no longer on my list. It was a waste of money and I am disappointed.
The Boba Milk Tea at Tapioca had delicious boba with a good texture. However, the milk tea at 50% sweetness was not sweet enough. The only options available were either full sweetness (100%) or half sweetness (50%), with no in-between option. Most other places offer a 75% sweetness level, which is considered the perfect balance. Despite this, the tea had a strong flavor which indicated that it was made from real tea and not just a powder mix.
Perfect level of sweetness that would not overwhelm the Matcha flavor. Great matcha quality! For those true lovers who can act tell the quality of good tea vs bad tea, youd love this place!

We had a very pleasant time in Asha Tea House and getting a variety of drinks, including my ceremonial matcha. I liked it, as I always do, though it wasn't really hot.Food: 4/5
I wish there were more of these tea houses around the Bay Area. It's hard to find loose leaf tea of this quality in a shop these days. Their boba is pretty good too.Food: 5/5

Asha always has the most amazing matcha lattes, and perfectly chewy boba. Its great to have the composable straws and cups, and I would 100% recommend!
