I've been visiting this shop for over a year and I can confidently say that this is the best boba I've had when it comes to just classic flavors. It tastes like it comes straight from Taiwan, which is where boba originates. You can trust me with that because I've been to Taiwan myself and am also Taiwanese. It's very traditional and if you're considering going to a fancy, Americanized, or unique boba place, I'd recommend this instead. The workers here are young but get their job done efficiently. I've never had a problem with the service or the quality. The shop itself has tables to sit at if you're not taking the drinks to go and has music playing in the background, so it's not silent or awkward. The wait time for receiving your drinks after you order is very short compared to other boba places. It's only around 5 minutes for 3-4 drinks. Overall, this is a traditional, fast, high quality boba place that I will proudly give 5 stars. read more

We just had lunch at Wonde Seafood Restaurant, we decided to have boba tea after lunch. Tea Champ was next door. Good selection of tea drinks. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

Extremely oversteeped oolong. Ordered osmanthus oolong with no osmanthus scent and an extremely bitter aftertaste. They mostly sell presteeped pre-made old tea. I've been coming here for 20 years and it's my fault for coming back and giving them additional tries. read more

Definitely another serviceable tea spot in the hacienda heights area. With so many boba shops around, it's tough to get a consistent crowd. I thought the thai tea was good and hit the spot. If you finished grabbing dinner in the same plaza, and not looking to travel a little further for boba, look no further! It's a small shop and not ideal for studying. read more

Extremely kind and great customer service. There was a misunderstanding with our order and they offered to replace it, although we didn't end up taking it. Great teas and boba- can get different type of ice (light, extra) and different types of sweetness. read more

Loved the kumquat tea here! The tea had a strong kumquat flavor even with low sugar and was the perfect amount of sweetness! Menu is pretty expansive as well and fairly priced. read more

Came on a Tuesday afternoon around 4pm and there were no customers. I ordered the large oolong milk tea with less ice and grass jelly. It was really good! Not too sweet and you can totally taste the tea! Total came out to be about $7 which I feel is pretty pricey. Other than that, I would come back again! They also sell Asian snacks on the side. Really reminds me of Taiwan :). read more

We were in the area and decided to try a new spot. First of all, this is one of the few places where I thought the large drinks were actually huge! We only ordered their regular cups. We tried their milk tea with boba and roasted milk tea with grass jelly. We got both drinks in regular sugar levels. I found the regular milk tea a tad too sweet, and it had a little added flavor of something else, but I couldn't pinpoint it. The roasted milk tea was really good! Less sweet than the regular milk tea. The grass jellies were giant chunks, so I finished all the tea before I actually got any jelly. Otherwise, the drinks here were pretty good! The guy working at the counter was friendly and helpful with answering questions and helping with suggestions. The parking lot was shared with several businesses, including a 99 ranch, but we had no issues finding a spot on a Friday afternoon. Closer to 4.5/5, but I rounded up. read more

This review is for boba milk tea only. It was not bad. The taste reminded me of Quickly, but less sad. The total of $5.80 price was inexpensive for such a large portion. I got the regular sized Jasmine Milk Tea ($4.98 + $0.82 for boba), which had very little tea flavor. At 70% sugar and regular ice, the drink still ended up being pretty sweet. I could maybe taste the tea as I got towards the bottom of my cup. The boba was soft, but not overcooked; still chewy, but I prefer boba less soft. The pearls were also smaller than the diameter of the boba straw, which is not my favorite size. My friend got the Champ Milk Tea (black tea with brown sugar). I tried a sip and it was alright. I also couldn't really taste the tea. read more

Tea Champ - Jasmine Milk Tea with boba - regular size - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

I ordered a large kumquat green tea per recommendation from a friend. The tea champ shop is part of Champion. It's clean, looks modern and yet retains some form of traditional look. The front desk is friendly. The tea however; I was expecting more flavor of tea and kumquat but I suspect because I ordered the large cup and it's more watered down. So large drink is 3.5 for me. You can choose level of sweetness and other adjustment when available during order and checkout. Will try other drinks if coming to this plaza again. read more

Cute boba decor alert! Outside of their store is a 4ft boba statue that you just can't pass by without taking your phone out! The owner was friendly and the cha spoke for itself. I ordered the Roasted Milk Tea with herbal jelly and you can definitely taste the roast in the tea. I love that. Hubby got the QQ which is their mix of boba and lychee jelly. The boba was chewy and nice! Inside they have a little market going on but it's all behind glass cases. They have an array of sauces and snacks. It's a little old-school looking but I'm assuming that's to cater to the wiser demographics. There's a line of chairs to sit and wait for your drink. Overall, great tasting beverages! read more

Custom teas and shakes to your liking. They also carry various unique teas, snack & chips to cater for each individual taste bud. Person taking the order was super friendly & nice.

After our lunch, we walked over and saw there was a tea and dried snacks place. Loved the roasted milk tea I got with 70% sweetened (recommended by the gentleman). It's rare to find a boba place that carries mini boba, but they did and it was just amazing! The employee there was super helpful and friendly. I prefer a place that has minimal selection because you know their focus would be on quality. It's fairly quiet here, but not much seating. I believe it's meant for a quick order and go, which I don't mind read more

Tea Champ - Roasted milk tea 70% sweetened with mini honey agar boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

Wanted today to get my honey boba ice milk drink from my favorite half & half but they were closed today so went on yelp to find nearest boba place which is in 99 ranch in city of industry Colima and Azusa. It's a small place hard to find. Their menu have fruit and milk teas along with brown sugar milk teas like tiger sugar which I am not too fond of. So I selected their large lychees milk tea cold with boba with 70% sugar which was still really sweet. Overall it was a good tasting drink to me boba is chewy not like soft melt in your mouth not chewy which I hate. With tax the drink is under $7 so price is decent will go again if in the area. read more

Tea Champ - Even my pup loves Tea Champ! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

Yes to Tea Champ it's one of my go-to spots to grab some tea and they got a variety of different drinks. I'm not a fan of boba but my friends love their boba from here. I'm more of a simple light sweet type of girl with usually some sort of tea. Inside the store, they not only sell tea but other Asian food items such as snacks to crunch on and enjoy. I've bought many different items here from things that are sweet to sour or meaty. All of the items are very different and remind me of Asia. It seems like all of the snacks in here are quite vintage and you can buy them as gifts for people that are our age or older! They will love it. The store is in the same plaza as 99 Ranch supermarket on Asuza. read more

This is one of my all time favorite boba places to go, a real hidden gem. I have been going here since about 2020. I wish it was closer to my house.. but that might dangerous. I can't explain it but their teas just taste exceptionally good. My favorite is their roasted oolong milk tea. My husband loves their jasmine iced tea with lychee jelly and boba. Everything is always fresh and we always order it unsweetened since we are trying to cut calories. It is always light and delicious, never artificial or fake. My kids love the slushies. The staff and owners are super helpful and always friendly. This review is long overdue and we will be back whenever we are close by. Parking is plentiful and there all many places to go nearby to shop and eat. read more

It was tricky to find but once we entered the store it was quite spacious. There's another mini snack shop inside this boba store too. The service was great. Prices reasonable. The tea quality is incredibly fresh. I can actually taste the flavor of tea in my drink. Their signature drink is the roasted milk tea. I got mine at 70% sugar with light ice. It's fantastic. It's definitely worth the drive to this area. read more

I visited this place after eating at Tokyo Lobby that was nearby and was so happy to see a place that had lemon yakult ($5). I also got jasmine milk tea ($4.50) and roasted milk tea ($4.50). You can adjust the sweetness and ice levels here which is nice. I usually get 50% sugar sweetness and less ice and all tasted pretty good; the boba was not over cooked or too sweet. The staff is nice. Located inside Champion Gourmet after Tenju moved their location. read more

Not sure why I haven't given this place a review yet. Every time I come to the plaza this is in, I have to grab a drink from here! When you walk in, it's such a spacious place. A few spots to sit while you wait for your drinks. They're pretty quick with the turn around with drinks though so you won't have to wait too long. Their teas are really good, you can taste the tea. They allow you to adjust the sweetness and ice. I've tried a few drinks from here but my favorite has to be their champ milk tea and then the roasted milk tea. Definitely a go to spot! read more

I got their brown sugar milk tea which was delicious but also concerning tasty. I asked whether they had non-dairy alternatives which is just non-dairy creamer for most of their teas. However, when I was ordering I thought they said it would be made of oat-milk but realistically I think I heard wrong and I got whole milk instead. I enjoyed my drink but I probably won't come back because my stomach wasn't happy with the dairy switcheroo. read more

Indians love a good hot Chai after a delectable meal, and the Mrs. is no exception. We stopped by at this establishment after our lunch at Northern cafe. There were a personable lady and gentleman at the counter. They had very good customer service skills. (+1) Option to add varying level of sugar was also something new. It actually worked. (+1) Price point is high. ~ $5 for tea. This would make us infrequent patrons. (-1) It was lovely tea according to the Mrs. She savored it for the remainder of her day. We will return. read more

Tea Champ - Strawberry Milk Tea, Apple Milk Tea, Peach Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

Located in a store that sells various dried fruits, meats, snacks and some seasonings. Teas have a good flavor and good price. They offer a huge 34oz which is bigger than other tea shops including Tastea (which is think is 32 oz). Peach green tea- 30% sugar, no ice, huge 34 oz size. Delicious w added Mini agar boba (=crystal boba) and Aloe vera. Friend thought the agar boba was good but preferred aloe vera in general. Grass jelly roasted milk tea- 30% sweet, no ice. Loved the roasted flavor of the tea. Grass jelly had a good texture. Would come back again. read more

One of my go-to spots for when i'm craving boba. The workers are so nice and attentive when taking my order. Their kumquat green tea is my favorite drink there and for such a large portion, the price is surprising cheap. 10/10 would recommend coming here! read more

The drinks are a pretty good value here, considering how enormous they are. The milk tea is pretty good, but unfortunately the fruit tea was way too floral for my liking. I personally prefer fruit teas with a neutral green tea base, so I honestly felt nauseous after just two sips. When I asked if they would be willing to remake my drink or at least modify it somehow by adding a different type of tea, they refused. For that alone, I would give this place one star, as they aren't concerned with customer satisfaction in the least. In fact, they had the audacity to tell me to buy another drink if I wasn't happy with the fruit tea. Who does that?! read more

I have been wanting to check out Tea Champ since it's opened. Finally I made my way here today and I must say that I am extremely impressed. I like to dedicate my review exclusively on their authentic Taiwanese milk tea. To start, I must say the good authentic milk tea is hard to find. I have tried tons of different milk tea at many different drink spots yet found most unsatisfying. By far, Tea Champ has the best milk tea around the area if I must pick the "champion" among all. There are 3 different types of milk tea, which are roasted milk tea, jasmine green milk tea and original milk tea. I have tried all of them. Roasted milk tea is rated to be the number 1 seller. Roasted milk tea tastes similar to the original milk tea except with the special roasted flavored to it. With jasmine green milk tea, you can taste right away the jasmine flavor within the milk tea. Apparently they use very high quality tea leaf to brew the tea with no artificial flavor and sweetness added to the tea itself. I mostly order milk tea with half sugar else where but there is no need for me to adjust the sweetness of the tea here at Tea Champ. Let me make a few recommendations on the toppings along with the milk tea. It is highly recommended to add the grass jelly with the roasted milk tea. I love the combination and it is delicious. Tea Champ makes very high quality grass jelly unlike other places. You can taste it the difference immediately that it is not ready to go grass jelly from the can but authentic, rich and flavored grass jelly with very chewing texture. I would recommend mini agar boba with the original milk tea. This is the only place that I know which sells mini agar boba. Agar boba can be a great substitution for boab since it contains more fiber and less calories. For jasmine green milk tea, I would recommend QQ or boba to go with it. I am Taiwanese and I am a big fan of the Chun Shui Tang milk tea. This is the closest I can find here to the milk tea flavor I tasted in Chun Shui Tang. In conclusion, I like to add the world milk to Tea Champ as Milk Tea Champ in my opinion. read more

I don't like boba at all but I am always trying to look for a new drink place with refreshing drinks because I don't like starbucks or any other drive through drink places. This tea spot is amazing.

I really like that they let you choose the sugar amount because I don't like it too sweet, I will be here all summer. read more

As always, the kumquat green tea does NOT fail to disappoint!! It tastes so fresh, and we all know just how hard it is to find a place that makes drinks without an artificial, overly-sweet taste. Their jasmine milk tea is also an amazing option for the dairy lovers out there. On top of their amazing drinks, the exceptional service and friendly staff simply put the cherry on top. This place is heavily underrated, and I suggest everyone to give Tea Champ a shot read more

Tea Champ - a large kumquat green tea-- the best drink on the menu. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

This place honestly surprised me. We found it on yelp one day and wanted to try out new boba places so we chose this, and it turned out to be one of my favorite places in the area! The shop is shared with another little store so you might be a little confused once you enter. But you'll know which are is specifically for boba. My favorites are the roasted milk tea and jasmine green milk tea - both at 70% and 30% sweetness. I don't prefer too much sweetness but for this place I'd recommend 70% sweetness. Sadly 30% sweetness tasted a bit more watered down for my liking, but at 70% sweet the tea flavor is stronger. I love this place because the tea they use is on the stronger side so you can actually taste the tea rather than just the sugar + creamer used. Their boba is good too - nice and chewy. The drink sizing is also kinda crazy. Their typical regular size is an equivalent to a large size at most places (24 oz), and they have a bigger size too! (32 oz) Staff is always very friendly and open to answering questions if you have any. Would recommend this place if you're in the plaza (this plaza has a 99 ranch) or in the area looking for a more ''hole in the wall'' type of boba shop! read more
