    I love this place! I always get the pearl green milk tea, which is not too sweet and good. Their boba is the perfect texture and the workers are nice. You will have a pricey addiction to this place.

    The interior is absolutely adorable. Im not a fan of green tea, but matcha latte ($3.50) was quite enjoyable. Ask for a loyalty card when you pay! Buy 10 get 1 free

    Try the matcha latte (iced or hot Clover Stornetta milk) or matcha affogato (the same over Three Twins organic vanilla ice cream). Because this is heaven for Cal students, seating can be limited. Read more

    The matcha latte is so divine. It's so smooth and milky, it goes down quickly and you'd be left begging for more. And you won't dare to ever drink Starbuck's clumpy shitty green tea latte.

    Chrysanthemum tea is delicious, and I love looking at the flowers. Bring your own glass/ mug for a discount!

    Matcha Latte w soy milk. Unbelievable. Service sometimes are disorganized. The jazmin cupcakes is one of the best I've ever tried.

    Amazing Hong Kong style bubble tea. The Financiers are always so perfectly moist, it is a must-have.

    Asha Tea House has to be the best boba in Berkeley. I just hate that they nickel and dime you. More detailed review here.  http://www.thesnobbyfoodie.com/blog/2015/2/27/best-bay-area-boba

    Hojicha latte and boba milk tea are both winners- boba here is soft, chewy, and sweet with a molasses-y flavor

    So many types to choose from. The morrocan mint green tea is garnished with some black pepper. Great drink to start your day

    Quiet and relaxing spot to enjoy a range of teas. Love the texture of their boba. HK Milk Tea (hot) is highly recommended.

    They now have implemented a one-hour limit on wifi use, so be sure to bring your hotspot if you want to get work done.

    I sometimes crave their matcha latte with almond milk. Not the fastest place to get a cup of tea, but well worth it.

    Loyalty program is discontinued 😢. Tea selection is almost intimidating but I'll definitely come back to try more!

    Boba tea with fresh fruit! Make sure you're clear with exactly what you want in your order. Mine had been mixed up a couple times.

    Love this place but they always run out of boba! Matcha latte is the best I've had and nowhere else offers hojicha lattes.

    I had wished they served Mate, and the please was kinda dirty with split water everywhere. Other than that it was a nice place to hang out in.

    Don't get regular milk tea here. Quickly is much better. Instead go for HK milk tea+coffee. Boba is chewy and better quality than most Quickly's though.

    Asha is quite crowded with students and laptops, so expect noise and activity when not really early.
