Tenju Tea House - Hacienda Heights

Meet her infamous Strawberry Basil Lemonade at my first visit. Tbh I prefer sweet mint instead of basil. This earthy basil fragrance makes the drink feels hard and savory, but not refeshing like what I would expect from a lemonade. Service is good and fast.

The creama on top of my black tea was superb. The way they had us drink it was very detailed. You're supposed to drink half of this drink without the straw to get the full creama flavor with the tea, then insert the straw and stir the remaining half. Definitely recommend this place for their fresh selection of tea.

One of the places where you can get quality tea with actual fresh ingredients in Los Angeles County. By fresh I mean they use fresh mint and basil leaves inside of their drinks. FYI I do not recommend any toppings with these special flavor drinks as they distract from the drinks themselves. The one I love most is the strawberry basil lemonade. It has perfect flavor and is perfectly balanced with strawberry lemonade and basil. The one I got today was the orange mint mojito with 50% sugar which I thought was perfect since the orange already makes the drink sweet. It has a fresh taste from the mint paired along with the orange flavor. My friend got the lavender lemonade and I would say it needs to be 100% sweetness to counter the bitterness of the lavender flavor. If you love lavender flavor then you will like this drink.

Their milk tea is always delicious, very flavorful and balanced. Their boba quality isn't as consistent, but still good. I have yet to try their tea leaves for sale, but the selection they have is intriguing. I'll have to try one when I get the chance. They have products which make nice gifts in that section.

My home away from home. I enjoy everything about this place. They're so friendly and everything make is freaking delicious. If you like tea I do recommend coming here. You won't regret!
