Ten Ren Tea

Old style Chinese tea shop. They sell loose leaf teas and pearl teas. Prices can range from $ to $$$. Whenever my husband wants good quality loose leaf tea for a reasonable price, he comes here. Great place to try different varieties! They are starting to sell different brewed drinks (you can add boba too!) but the lines can be long so haven't tried it yet.

My first time here, we have ordered white peach green tea and jasmine milk tea which were all pretty good. I usually go with zero sugar because this allows me to taste the true flavor of the tea. Minus one star because it was pretty slow and considering the fact that there are usually a pretty long line of people waiting, it could take much longer.

I had heard about Ten Ren Tea, but thought it was only a tea shop. My friend and I came to this plaza to eat and decided to get boba here after. We kept watching the line and the line honestly seemed to always be out the door. We waited in line for maybe 20 minutes. They also sell their own tea, as well as other tea related items. I ordered the honey lemon green tea with boba and 75% sweet. It was really refreshing! They even put a real slice of lemon in the drink. Even though I asked for less sweet, I think I will get normal sweetness next time. I assume they use a more authentic tea, so it's a little more bitter than usual. Definitely didn't take away from the drink though! The boba also tasted really fresh and had a nice texture. I think that the drinks are a little more expensive for south bay, but it was about the same as sf pricing. Boba was also only an extra 25 cents instead of 50. I would go here again, especially since they make the drinks pretty fast. For the length of the line, they were really fast. There was plenty of parking nearby. I would put this boba shop in one of my top favorites. Also note there is a card minimum of $7.

This is the top Ten Ren Tea place, newly remodeled, spanking clean. One of the better bubble tea places in the area that also sells premium tea leaves sometimes from very inaccessible mountains in China. Mango smoothie with large and mini pearls is the perfect refresher on any hot day. There's a lot of knowledge here, just ask the question.

Authentic tea, with many delicious options. You can try the tea by itself, or with bobba, lycee jelly etc. If you prefer the extra sweet cheaper teas from QQQ, Quickly or others, you might not like Ten Ren as much as Ten Ren has a lot more flavor. The staff is friendly enough. Ten Ren also sells lots of raw teas.

MY FAVORITE MILK TEA JOINT EVER. Why? Because they actually brew their tea from good tea leaves as it is also a TEA SHOP. Their boba is the perfect consistency. The prices for their milk tea is also reasonable. Since they renovated the place, the line goes faster meaning less wait. But, there is no seating area. Usually ordering something simpler is better. I usually get black milk tea with grass jelly (it’s very fresh).
