    King Jasmine Guava
    Thomas V.

    HeyTea is a popular Chinese boba tea spot. And you can tell because it gets crowded easily with long lines despite having a lot of staff. I had to wait approx 40 minutes for my drink (they announce the wait time every now and then so ppl aren't caught off guard). My King Jasmine Guava drink was indeed of premium quality BUT... Customer service is horrendous. Maybe he was exhausted from the endless orders or something but the man who took my order offered no pleasantries. He seemed irritated and was rather rude. After I told him my first drink he immediately switched his tablet to the checkout screen. I said I wanted to order more but he said "no, order was already placed". But I didn't even pay yet?? Since when were we limited to one drink? There was no way I was going to the back of the line to order more. And I saw a few other frustrated customers after so this was not an isolated incident. Not impressed

    The shop has a clean, modern vibe that's perfect for grabbing a quick drink or hanging out for a bit. The menu is full of creative and refreshing tea options. From their signature cheese teas to fruity blends, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. I tried cloud crisp grape, tiramisu milk tea, and fluffy cloud mango. All were was perfectly balanced, flavorful but not overly sweet, with the right amount of ice and toppings. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The wait time is long (25-30 mins). I usually will order and walk around the mall for a bit and come back to pickup.

    The drinks at HeyTea are super fresh and they use real fruit unlike other places that use syrup. There are actually fruit pieces in the drink! There can be a bit of a wait, so I would recommend ordering on the app in advanced if you can.

    This isn't your typical Kung Fu Tea-style spot. The milk teas here lean more traditional--balanced, tea-forward, and not overly sweet. You can actually taste the tea, which I really appreciated. If you're looking for classic, well-made milk tea rather than trendy, overly sugary drinks, this place hits the spot. Just be warned there are long lines (order online from their QRcode posted on the window for quicker pickup)

    Just hanging out!

    I highly recommend HeyTea where you can get the best boba in Nova. Do not make the same mistake that I have made by going on the weekend and waiting in line. Download the HeyTea app on the App Store and order online. The hype hasn't died down here so expect a long wait especially on the weekends. My favorite drink to order is the Mango Grapefruit Boom with less sweetness. I also recommend trying any of their drinks in season as these rotate and tend to use the freshest ingredients. You can't go wrong with HeyTea due to their fresh fruit and high quality tea.

    Loved the Heytea x POPMART collab in December 2025! The tiramisu milk tea was so indulgent but retained the fragrant black tea flavor. The sticker pack was absolutely adorable! I hope the workers here get paid well--this boba shop is ultra busy and it's not unusual to see a sea of milk teas on the counter ready for pickup.

    Still going STRONG enjoying this spot just about every Thursday! You can say I'm a bit obsessed the prices are a bit high, but the drinks are soooooo goooood! My favorite is the triple supreme matcha and the supreme brown sugar boboa. The drinks are always consistent in taste. They sometimes have deals online where you can get discounts. However, sometimes the online ordering is temporarily out service. Overall, there's inside seating where you can wait for you drinks. The staff try to be as quick as possible, but sometimes there's a wait of 1hr!!! It's a super basic and sterile interior. I think they try and strive on simplicity. It's located inside the Tysons mall

    Cute little Asian tea spot. I wanted something different today so I stoped by Hey Tea. I got a milk tea which was really good. They have a variety of things to choose from. Service is good as well. It can get a bit crowded during lunch hours, but the wait isn't long.

    The lines here were astoundingly long. I was shocked walking in how busy this place is and you basically need to download the app to know your place in line and when to go pick up your order instead of rely on them shouting out your order. The amount of people inside sitting and waiting are just eye opening. It is definitely not a place to hold a conversation or relax. It is more of a war zone for you and the workers. Best approach is to come in with the app ready or order through the app and watch the order through the app. Go in, grab your order, and get out. Staying inside would probably bother you. As for the tea, I thought it was okay. I wanted to try it to know what the hype is all about. I am not entirely impressed by the quality to price compared to other teas I have had. I thought it was just okay, but great to have another choice than just Kung Fu Tea in the mall.

    I wish they had more milk tea options. They only have brown sugar milk tea so I got the jasmine tea and added brown sugar boba but I don't think there was much milk in it. I'm underwhelmed at the amount of boba I got and the size of the cup as well. The jasmine tea itself was pretty good o think! The boba was also good based off what I could taste of it. There wasn't much syrup though. I had the brown sugar boba at another location and I enjoyed it and the jasmine tea is good so I have this place 3 stars despite not loving this drink. I probably won't frequent here just because when I want boba I want milk tea with boba but they have other non boba yummy drinks too

    The cloud magnolia latte is so pretty and fragrant and flowery. Every time I enter this HeyTea and any other HeyTea location, I always get hit with a strong smell of flowers and fragrant tea. I can understand that it could be a little bit overwhelming because the smell is quite strong when you enter, but that is just a testament to how fragrant their drinks are. I've gotten their triple supreme matcha and supreme matcha but this time I got the cloud magnolia latte. Pretty much all of their drinks are very aesthetic, unique, and they taste great too. for what it's worth, it's pretty well priced compared to other milk tea places. The cloud magnolia latte has slightly salty sweet cream dollops in the middle with a sprinkle of matcha powder on top. Very lovely and mild roasted green tea flavor that lingers when you sip. Solid place and nice staff. They have an app and kiosks. Just beware when it is a (rare) BOGO because the line gets long.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, but the lines were always long. The line was still long when I went, but I decided to stick it out. The service was overall pretty good, but the drinks took a long time to come out. They did warn us that it would take 30-40 minutes, so we left and went shopping and came back. I don't get the hype! The drinks were nowhere near as good as Moge Tea. That is still my favorite place to get drinks without the long wait. I will continue to go there instead of this spot. The cloud blue coconut drink was probably my favorite of the three we ordered, but it still doesn't compare to Moge.

    I would recommend skipping this place during the weekend rush. I have been here a few times due to the convenience (during both weekend and weekday) and on the weekend, you may have to wait 30+ minutes for your drink. There is a screen on the left showing the wait and what order is being worked on. I made the mistake once of not seeing this screen before I ordered. I do think it is a bit over hyped. The drinks are fine. And honestly I still don't know what a "boom" is as you kinda get rushed through when you order at the counter and can't ask the cashier questions or you order at the kiosk.

    How do the drinks hold up overnight? Is there a lot of separation? Does it change the taste?? I wanted to grab one the night before to bring one to a friend in the morning,…

    Do they use real milk?

    Yes they do. In the app you can see the breakdown of each drink.

Pricing starts at $15 for small and medium piggy banks, and there are so many character options to choose from including Avengers, Disney Castle, Stitch, Labubu, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and more. Paint and paintbrushes are provided, so it's easy to just show up and get creative. We also loved the drinks we tried while painting: Passionfruit Green Tea with Rainbow Jelly and Kumquat Winter Melon Tea with White Pearls. We took a snack break and shared the Lotus Biscoff Croffle, which was crispy and buttery, topped with fresh cream, lotus biscoff butter, and cookie crumbs. It was the perfect treat during the experience. What we loved: -Cute, affordable activity -Great selection of characters -Easy setup with supplies included -A fun option for a girls' day, date night, or weekend outing. Something to consider: The paint comes out in pump dispensers, and some characters require much more white paint than others. At the moment, there doesn't seem to be an option to get additional paint if you run out, so plan your design accordingly or start with white first. Overall, Carla and I had a great time and would definitely come back. This is a really fun activity to add to your DMV plans, and I hope they add a refill option for paint in the future.

They did have the same 3-1/2 tables inside, each with a bunch of uncomfortable, tippy metal stools.
