(San Francisco/Berkeley)
Asha has one of the best matcha lattes in the city! They hand whisk every matcha latte to order and use Uji matcha. They also offer a lot of ceremonial teas since they are a tea house, but they do get quite pricey. Asha also has another location, their first one, near the UC Berkeley campus.
- Matcha Latte (Hot/Iced): Whether it’s hot or iced, the matcha taste is very apparent. If you haven’t tried their seasonal fruit purees, I suggest adding it to the iced version for some flavor 🙂
- Hojicha Latte (Hot/Iced): The hojicha taste isn’t very strong, so I don’t recommend it. I feel like there’s more milk than there is tea, so I could barely taste the hojicha.
- Seasonal Drinks I’ve Tried:
- Blood Orange Oolong Tea (Iced) Jan-April: This was interesting, but I prefer the citrus taste to be stronger.
- Yuzu Green Tea (Iced) Jan-April: Although the yuzu isn’t bad, they don’t give you much 🙁 I remember adding this to my iced matcha latte too and you could barely see the yuzu at the bottom.
- Strawberry Black Tea (Iced) May-Aug: There is a good amount of strawberry bits in there!
- Asian Pear Oolong (Iced) Sept-Dec: This was very refreshing when paired with the green tea.
- Grape Oolong (Iced) Sept-Dec: I couldn’t really taste the grape for this one 🙁
- Boba (only available noon and after): pretty chewy but not my favorite
