"The guys behind Asha are unabashedly obsessed with all varieties and types of tea. In fact, they're so into tea that they actually MacGyver-ed their own pour-over device that steeps their blends for the perfect amount of time; plus, you'll drink it out of a mug or cup specifically designed for your tea. The roomy space, with its tall ceilings and long linen lanterns, is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. The Berkeley flagship is a classic, though they just opened a second location Downtown."

"Asha Tea House, probably my favorite local shop, does a standard boba milk tea as well as anyone, but for a particularly refreshing option this weekend, try one of their fruit teas, served with housemade fruit purees." - Eater Staff

"Asha takes its tea seriously, whether it’s Hong Kong-style milk tea, oolong from Taiwan, or boba tea. The matcha drinks are particularly popular, with options like matcha lattes, matcha affogato, and pure ceremonial matcha." - Janelle Bitker

Always a lot of people here, but never too crowded that I can’t find a seat. The selection of drinks seems very curated and well made. Matcha is always great here! Love stopping by to get a drink before going on with my day. The decor here is very cozy.

Asha has always been and will continue to be my favorite matcha shop in the Bay Area. I’m so glad we have this place and the quality / selection here never disappoints. I first started coming here while a student and now that I’m still in the Bay, make sure to stop by whenever I’m in Berkeley as this is truly the best. The drinks use high quality matcha and taste delicious. They also have a hojicha option which is a bit more hard to find and tastes equally as amazing. The interior of this spot is very cozy with minimalist Japanese vibes and large ceilings. Can’t recommend this place enough!

I am not here to disgust anyone who have seen this review. But I would have to say if you have seen this review, congrats on not drinking a milk tea with a FLY. YES, THERE IS A FLY INSIDE THE DRINK. And I only found it after I had already drink it. I bought from this store for AT LEAST 30 times, and I CANNOT believe how were all the drinks I ordered from here before. I HAVE DEFINITELY reported this food safety issue to Alameda County Department of Health.

One of my favorite milk tea places in the Bay Area! They serve high-quality teas and accept reusable boba containers! However, their straws and containers can be industrially-composted as well. They have a set menu but also have seasonal flavors. You can order at the counter or at the tablet. It is often filled with college students as the campus is nearby.

My go-to for traditional non-milk teas; I favor hojicha & matcha. The seasonal flavors such as yuzu & asian pear add another level of variety & complexity & you can get it unsweetened as well. There are local baked goods but they disappear quickly, but I was able to snag a black sesame cookie. The matcha sparkler hits the spot on a warm day too.

I love the architecture and atmosphere of this place. Green tea is excellent! We didn't think this is the best place for Boba. (My husband and my daughter are the Boba freak!) I LOVE the menu. Very different and well done. I thought this place could be more cleaner. Flies are just everywhere and floor are very messy. But overall, come and try their many choices of hot tea.

This spot is aesthetically unique with it’s minimalistic modern architecture! The drinks hit the spot just as equally (pictured iced chai latte and matcha latte). While super flavorful and aromatic, the infused spices in the chai latte are quite strong and would suggest getting a hot version of the drink without boba.

It's a small, cute place in Downtown Berkeley. Totally fits in with the area and the people. I had some great tea and was very comfortable. I would go again, even though I don't drink tea.
