This place is sooo good and super refreshing--perfect for hot weather when you need something to quench your thirst. The spot itself is really cute. It's a small boba tea shop with a simple, clean interior (which I actually love--it's not overly decorated or cluttered). It's a great little place to meet up with friends and just hang out. Service is quick and easy. You can order online for pickup or use their kiosk in-store. The staff is friendly and always greets you when you walk in, which makes the experience even better. Now the drinks... SO good. I got the passion fruit peach green tea, and my husband got the pineapple green tea. Both were super light, refreshing, and not overly sweet at all--which we really appreciated. Honestly, we finished them wishing we had ordered more. Safe to say I'll definitely be a regular here. Highly recommend giving this place a try--it's 100% worth it!! read more

This yummy tea spot is definitely worth a try for people who appreciate tea quality and care more about it than toppings. Highly recommended over The Alley at Spectrum. Really appreciate their fruit tea selection since that's my go-to drink. They even put the quantity of fruit they use in each drink (e.g., 1 peach, 40 blackberries) Passion Peach tea is so good! It's excellent quality and made with real fruit. I recommend starting at 50% sugar if you like drinks to be less sweet, then work your way down from there. Blackberry Rock is also delicious and would be a hit for oolong lovers. Keep in mind they put around 40 blackberries inside so you'll be crunching lots of seeds (I wish they would remove about half the seeds). 50% is a little bitter to start with, so I recommend starting a step above. Also hope they'll use bigger ice cubes - the small aerated cubes melt too fast. Was really disappointed by their topping selection, It's really bold to only have 4 options, but as I mentioned, for those who don't care for toppings or get the classic boba each time you're fine. Service is fine. They're quick and focus more on making drinks than taking orders (plenty of iPads to order on, can flag them down if you need help/have questions and they're nice about it) and there's a fair amount of seating inside. Maybe not the best for studying due to lack of space, but okay for short and small social gatherings. Lack of topping options would be the reason HN Tea won't make it into my OC favorites, but I will return when I'm around Spectrum and craving tea without toppings. read more

HNTea Organic Tea House - Passion Peach Green (left) and Mountain Rock Oolong (right) - Tea Rooms Near Me - Irvine, California

We came in on a Tuesday evening. There was no line inside and ordering was quick and easy on the screen. I ordered the Mountain Rock Oolong Tea Latte at 0% sugar with boba. Usually getting a tea at a boba shop at 0% sweetness means you can really taste the tea. However, the oolong flavor is barely present. I'm not sure if the drink is watered down from melted ice or too much soy milk was added, but I do wish the tea stood out more. The boba was the biggest disappointment. The center of the boba was hard, as if we had received boba that was sitting out for hours. Unfortunately probably some of the worst boba I've had. read more

HNTea Organic Tea House - Mountain Rock Oolong Tea Latte - Tea Rooms Near Me - Irvine, California

Came here and ordered through the self-service kiosk, which made the process super easy. The space itself is very clean and aesthetic, and service was impressively quick. I also appreciated the portion sizes. The drinks come in big cups and feel worth the price. We ordered the Sesame Latte and the Mountain Rock Oolong Tea Latte. Plus, there's plenty of parking in the lot, which is always a bonus. That said, the drinks were a bit of a letdown. For the Sesame Latte, the green tea and black sesame combo didn't work well for me, though I could still distinctly taste the black sesame. The oolong tea was very light and ended up tasting watered down. Unfortunately, the boba was also disappointing. Too hard and not the chewy texture you'd expect. Great setup and efficiency, but the drinks didn't quite hit. read more

If you're looking for tea/boba that is all natural with no dyes or flavored syrups, then this is the one lace for you! I was very impressed that this tea house offers healthy teas, versus the typical types with tons of fake flavoring! I love the decor, and was shocked to see it was completely empty! It is super aesthetically pleasing and looks like a great place to bring your laptop and work or study. I highly recommend HNTea!! read more

Stopped by to get a drink when we were getting food from another store in the same plaza. Got pineapple green tea with boba. The boba was tasty and chewy. I was able to customize the sweetness and ice level. The order was taken on the kiosk as the barista makes my order. The interior space was nicely decorated, but felt a bit stuffy because the airflow was not so good when we visited. read more

I got one of their popular drinks - jasmine green tea latte with boba 50% sweet. Pros: Easy parking. I went on a weekday afternoon, and the parking lot in this plaza was hassle-free. I loved the ambiance, and there was a good amount of seating inside (probably not a place I would study/ work at tho). The tea itself was light and floral, and it was just the right sweetness for me. Service was also great. Everyone was friendly and welcoming right when I walked in. Cons: This might have been my mistake of ordering boba, but I found the boba a bit too tough just as others have said. While the tea itself was good, the boba was just a huge miss for me. I'll still be back to try their other drinks (maybe without boba this time)! read more

Got the triple blend mountain tea. Great flavor and tea forward. Tried water chestnut popping boba. Never been a fan of popping boba but wanted to try it. Texture of chestnut was there but tastes more like sweet potato to me read more

Ordered the Mountain Oolong Milk Tea and the drink didn't quite land for me. The tea itself was on the lighter side, so I didn't get much of that strong tea flavor I enjoy. The boba was also a bit overcooked, which made the texture a bit mushier. I'm hoping it was just an off day, because the shop seems promising, but overall this visit fell a little short. Overall quick service and nice interior as well. read more

This spot popped up in my reviews while I was in the area so I decided to stop in and grab a quick drink and honestly I was pretty disappointed. I ordered their coconut cloud matcha boba and it just was not good. The coconut water mixed with the matcha and cold foam was a really weird combo and the flavors just did not work together. It was trying to be sweet and bitter at the same time and the balance was completely off which made it hard to enjoy. Definitely not something I would ever order again and probably not a place I would return to. There was also no one there which already felt like a bit of a red flag especially during what should have been a busier time. To make it worse this drink was actually recommended to me as one of their favorites and I just did not see it at all. Not for me. read more

A boba chain that definitely needs more recognition and love! If you prefer stronger tea this is definitely the place for you. The Mountain Rock Tea Latte is my personal standout and one of their most popular drinks. Service is quick and efficient. The self-ordering tablet is a plus. There are a few tables and outlets, optimal for a study session or a hanging with friends. Highly recommend. read more

I recently dropped by HNTea in Irvine, and overall it left a very positive impression. It was my first time here and it was a great experience. The shop has a clean, modern look with a calm, welcoming vibe. I was able to enjoy my drink and take a moment to relax here. I chatted with the staff and they were able to tell me that the H stands for healthy, N stands for Natural and T for tea. Interesting store name for sure. I opted for something new so ordered the Organic Golden Black and Organic White Peony cheese cap drinks. Absolutely delicious! Sweet slightly salty and thick cheese foam. YUM! Balance and sweetness level was good. I love how you can customize the sweetness level. Overall good experience and will be back here soon! read more

Drinks: 3/5 Ordered the mango coco treasure drink and the white peony tea. Mango coco drink was small for $6.50 and tasted just alright. The white peony tea was lacking in tea flavor. Service: 4/5 Self serve/ order on the kiosk and they would bring it out. Ambiance: 4/5 Nice and clean with a few chairs to sit and lounge in. read more

Went to pick up a sweet drink Was walked through the caffeine-free options nicely and told what toppings were out but what what were good substitutes AC was kind of cold inside, but must be nice on a hot summer's day Ordered a nice Black Sesame Treasure drink with a Cheese Cap while getting some work done outside. The drink tasted nice. Had it at 75% sweetness, but even that was too sweet for me With tip, the drink was around $7 and on the shorter side, so that might be something to note for others but was just enough for me. Will be back! read more

Of all the boba places I've tried so far, I love that you can really taste the tea flavor in their drinks, because it tells me I'm not just drinking straight sugar. I got the Mountain Rock Tea Latte at 25% with no add-on's and it was still the right level of sweetness. Prices for the organic tea look on par with the other places, around $4-6 The employees behind the counter were very nice and greeted me when I came in. I ordered from a kiosk and my drink came out relatively quickly. The store is nice and clean and there's tables and stools to sit at inside. Overall, I was pretty impressed and will be back again to try all their other organic tea flavors. read more

Boba- 6/10 bobas were half good half ass. Half were super soft and the other half were hard asf in the middle. Which means there were probably two separate batches mixed into one. Not coming here again b/c of the boba. Drink- 10/10 mountain rock tea latte at 75% sweetness. I really liked this drink! Thankfully the girl recommended 75% sweetness not 100% bc that would've been too sweet. Service- 10/10 the girl who helped me had phenomenal customer service! Cost- 6/10 $6.94 in total with boba. Pretty avg price. read more

It was a small and AC store! Definitely great shop to be in during these hot summer days! I ordered through a kiosk and got the strawberry jasmine tea!

TIP: There's ample parking and a restroom at this store! read more

While waiting for my lunch to be prepared at a location next-door, I popped into HNTea. It was my first time here and the order taker/cashier at the front was so nice and friendly. She gave me some good suggestions and then ultimately I ordered the pineapple jasmine tea. I like it a little less sweet and she was able to accommodate that. Very cute and relaxing interior with some seating.The drink was perfectly made with the right amount of ice, sweetness and crushed pineapple along with the jasmine tea blend. I think the cups are also very cute and aesthetic. I would definitely come back and try some other drinks. There's a parking lot out front, although it can get very busy, especially during the high peak time like early in the morning and lunchtime with all the tech and business office buildings. read more

First time trying HNTea. The girl working was a total sweetheart. Ordered the milk tea. The flavor of the tea is good and the boba has a nice chew. Could have used a little more sweetness as the sweetness level was a bit bland and even after asking for some additional syrup on the side it didn't really help. Would like to give it another try but order something different read more

HNTea Organic Tea House is a modern tea spot in a plaza with other stores. The parking lot is a good size and it is easy to find parking. Came here on a weeknight with some friends to hang out. We were greeted upon entering and it was not busy. There are a few tables I side and it is very quiet, making it a good place to work or have conversations with friends. I ordered the ManCoco Yellow Treasure with 50% sugar and whipped cream. The drink came out quickly. It was well-balanced and not too sweet. Really enjoyed the mango and coconut flavors. It also came with crystal boba which was good. Overall, giving HNTea Organic Tea House a 4/5. Service is good. The place is clean and quiet which is good for hanging out. It is on the pricier side for the size of the drinks, but the ingredients seem to be high quality. Recommend to anyone looking for a good tea and boba spot. read more

I believe I have been to a different HNTea before and this is a newer location. There's a little bit of a seating area but this place is more dedicated for take away drinks instead of being seated inside. They have a good selection of organic teas and variety as well. I'm always a fan of milk teas or lattes in this case so I had ordered a Golden Black Tea Latte and a Premium Matcha Soy Latte. I had also added the agar boba for the black tea latte for texture. The teas were both very good. Just make sure to shake well before popping the straw in so you really get to enjoy all the flavors. read more

Love the clean and pretty interiors and large menu offerings at HNTea! Tried the Passion Peach Green Tea and it was very refreshing and a great afternoon pick me up.

Came here from a friend's recommendation and was very impressed! HNTea is located in a small plaza with a couple of stores. There is plenty of parking here. The shop itself is very simple. You can order at the kiosk or with the barista. There are a couple of chairs and tables along the side. Teas: HNTea Latte - Their signature drink. Ordered with 50% sugar. I was surprised at how floral this tea was. I thought 50% sugar was perfect and I would definitely get this again. Mountain Rock Tea Latte - I didn't know what Mountain Rock Tea was but later found out that it was a type of oolong. This one had a nice oolong taste that wasn't too strong on the mouth. I personally prefer other oolongs but this was good! Overall, a great place for some tea. There are many to choose from but HNTea is definitely one to try! read more

Cute little place, little seating area inside and kiosks are available for ordering. The matcha was good however, ordering 100% sweeter was a mistake on my part, I'd recommend 75% and it would be the perfect drink. The HN Tea was good as well, but not too keen on the agar boba. Clean facility and service was quick. read more

HNTea Organic Tea House is serving up some Healthy and Natural teas! They have two locations in Irvine and are well known for their organic loose leaf teas. This location is located in a smaller plaza with other food businesses. The parking lot is on the smaller side but there are a good amount of spots. Inside, they have a gorgeous modern interior that's very minimalistic and earthy. They have two machines for ordering and a couple of long tables for seating. For their menu, they have a variety of options of seasonal fruit teas, lattes, coffees, and cheese cap drinks. Wifey and I got the mountain rock tea latte and the berries mountain rock tea. Both drinks were very refreshing and we could taste the quality of the teas. Overall, we enjoyed the drinks we got and could taste the healthy and natural flavors. The staff here are very friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items! read more

Found this place through Yelp and saw that it was very close to my house so I had to check it out. The inside is small but very cute. Order through kiosk which was very quick and efficient. The guys working there made some special changes for us which was quite nice. I ordered the passionfruit tea without sugar and it was actually really good. My mom had the boba brown sugar which was essentially similar to brown sugar milk tea. Really really good. My brother had some mango drink with oat milk and was really impressed. We also ordered the mountain tea and that was by far my favorite. Will definitely try this place again. read more

The drinks have Natural flavor attention is for nice people and the environment is special . Thank you read more

Pro therapy and pro boba. I bribe myself to attend therapy each week by visiting a new boba shop post-appointment. Call it a comfort boba. HNTea happens to be one of my favorite stops on this journey. This tea shop is on the traditional side, crafting organic, fruit, and milk teas. I've been hooked on cheese topped drinks lately and HNTea does this well. I ordered the Matcha Cheese Cap with boba. I absolutely loved the texture/density of their boba, which is often what falls short. The matcha was earthy, but balanced so well with their salty toppings. Very interested in returning to try their 'Treasure drinks' which include a number of fan-favorite bevies with a whipped cream twist. Think brown sugar, matcha, strawberry, mango, etc. Self love includes buying yourself a little treat and HNTea is a great place to start. read more

the roasted oolong was delicious! some drinks can be a little more watery, but this one was not! it was finished within 5 min & good spot to study, but only a few tables. overall nice spot, lots of parking & bright and cute inside! read more

I ordered a warm matcha tea with boba and aloe via GrubHub a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it at work. I knew to avoid the cold version because I don't trust the water most establishments use for ice and the photo for the cold version looked like it was filled to the brim with ice. I decided to visit the Irvine location today and see what the store is like. Well, it didn't last long at all. As soon as I opened the door and walked in, the incredibly overwhelming odors of cleaning agents was the only thing I could comprehend and I stood in shock for a few seconds, looked at the two customers sitting at a bench inside presumably waiting for their order, and went right back outside to my car and started thinking how lucky I was to have survived the warm matcha I'd gotten from them two days prior that was presumably prepared with such unprofessional standards of food service. The ambiance was nothing short of asking for food safety inspection violations and I wrote this review to let others know about this experience I didn't even think to expect. read more

Decent tea, very good service, probably won't come back since there are plenty of good options in the area. Mountain rock tea with cheese cap: very sweet even when I got 50% sugar. I could have definitely gone down to 25%. I typically get 50% at most boba places. Boba was fine. Because you have to drink with a straw you don't get the full cheese cap (foam) taste. Service: friendly, self-older Ambience: plenty of space to sit and hangout. Doesn't feel cozy, and it could be slightly cleaner. Parking: plenty for the area read more

This is probably some of the best tea I've had, and I have been to a lot of milk tea places. It's fresh, and the aroma is amazing. I got the jade green milk tea and the coffee drink. I went on a Sunday so it was not busy at all. The environment was great if you want to hang out, nice open space. The people are nice too. read more

HNTea has the best milk tea in OC HANDS DOWN!!!! tbh I think it's better than Omomo and Orobae. I wanted to gatekeep this place bc their service has always been super fast and I don't want to wait in line if people find out about this place but I also love them so much I want them to get more customers and stay in business. LOVE their mountain rock tea latte and strawberry jasmine tea the boba is always soft and chewy. The ingredients are all organic and fresh. It's always a guaranteed good time!!!! read more

This was my first time trying this boba place, and I really enjoyed the drinks here. There's a self-service kiosk at the front where you can order your drinks and customize the sweetness and ice levels. It's very spacious inside, and there are a lot of tables with outlets nearby, making it a very cozy study spot. I ordered the premium matcha soy latte with 75% sweetness. They use high quality matcha and you can definitely taste it in the drink. The matcha flavor wasn't too strong like at other places I've been to. There also wasn't any unmixed matcha powder at the bottom which is a common problem I have with matcha-based drinks. The strawberry jasmine green tea tasted very fresh. It was obvious that real strawberries were used instead of strawberry syrup since there was no artificial taste. The boba texture was also perfectly chewy, and the honey added some extra sweetness to the drink. Overall, I would try this place again. The drinks tasted great and I really liked the interior. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient. It's located right next to a busy road so it's difficult to get in and out of the parking lot. Other than that, I think this is a great boba spot to try if you're looking for drinks with fresh ingredients! read more

Please bring back the Longjin cheese cap tea! I discovered it just last week and really loved it. It is delicious and is the low caffeine tea option I need. I was planning come back long term just for this drink. But when I was ordering again today I had the shocking discovery that it's no longer on the menu. This would have been a five star review for the Longjin tea alone. I would highly recommend others to try the Longjin tea if/when it is back for it strikes a perfect balance of tea flavor, bouquet and caffeine. read more

A solid boba tea shop. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars, but alas. Service is quick, employees have good recommendations. I had the mountain tea latte with 25% sugar. The tea wasn't as strong as I would have liked, but I love that they had soymilk as a possible option. They also have very cool combos; I tried a jasmine coffee latte and it was really interesting! Their boba is on the firmer side, but still pleasant and not too sweet. read more

I was grabbing lunch next door and noticed HNTea so I popped in for a drink. I decided on the Cheese Cap Black Sesame with green tea at 50% sweetness. I ordered it on the little kiosk screen and paid. My order was made and handed to me a few minutes later. They only offer one size here and the drinks are steep in price. However, if this is a once in a while treat, then by all means check it out. I shook up my drink to incorporate the cheese foam into it. I grabbed a straw to try it. A little savory from the sesame paste but otherwise pretty good. Service was fairly quick and I was happy to be out to make it to my next appointment. I love having more tea options around OC. Cheers! read more
