Tira Tea House 8942 Garden Grove Boulevard, Garden Grove, CA 92844

"Got their Lavender Milk Tea with Crystal boba, and it was good! This was my first time going there, and one of the workers was very sweet and welcoming. Introduced me with all drinks, and I guess I wanted to try something new. I'd say this is going to be my favorite spots to drink since everything they make is FRESH. I can definitely taste that lavender taste, and I asked to be 50% sweet. It's still sweet, although it's worth it. Would definitely come back here again!"

"I love coming here whenever I'm in town. In fact, I'll go out of my way to stop by for a large Jasmine Milk Tea, 25% sugar, with boba. Sooooo yummy and smooth."

"Small little mom & pop coffee/tea shop with friendly staff and good coffee drinks. Ordered the Spanish latte, which is a condensed milk latte drink, tasted slightly sweet and was warm when handed to me. It's conveniently next to Manmi bakery so that you can have your creampuffs or other baked goods with your coffee."

"Tira Tea House provides excellent service with a casual, yet carefully planned, ambiance. Tira Tea House stood out to me as a smaller tea shop that serves boba, tea, coffee, and sweets. What distinguishes this place from all of the other drink shops is that it creates has a cozy home-like vibe with employees who care about your drink. Immediately when you walk into the store, all of the decorations seem like it is purposely placed and everything matches well. When I entered, I was greeted by Regina, one of the employees at Tira Tea House. As I browsed the menu, she asked if I had any questions and was attentive to my presence. When I asked her about the difference between her Oolong Milk Tea versus other places, she explained how she brewed the tea and what goes into the milk tea. She then asked if I wanted to try a sample and also asked for the sweetness level -- which I replied 25%. When she came back, she mentioned that the sweetness would be around 25-30% since the drink was in a small container that it was hard to measure the exact 25% necessary. However, the gesture in and of itself was welcome and allowed me to gauge their tea quality. When I tasted the sample, Regina asked how it was and I stated that I enjoy a stronger oolong taste. In this case, she told me that she could make it stronger by reducing the milk and sugar levels and increasing the amount of unflavored tea as a compensatory mechanism. I decided to go for the stronger Oolong Milk Tea with boba. Overall, I thought that the drink was above average. The oolong flavor was more prevalent with her adjustment, but I still wanted more. The sweetness was good and the creaminess of the drink was as well. The boba is hard to rate since I know different people have certain expectations of how boba should be. The boba was decent, but it was on the harder side compared to other boba places that I have been to. I wouldn't mind ordering the drink again. Afterwards, I stayed and talked with Regina about her life and her decision to be a barista. She exuded friendliness and a drive to constantly improve her drinks -- which I could tell from the way she adjusted my drink and asked for my thoughts. Overall, I enjoyed the place and would definitely come back because of their excellent service, good drinks, and the desire to see how their drinks improve over time."

"This cozy, rustic tea house not only provides excellent service but very delicious, well-crafted drinks. The girl who helped my friends and I, Regina, was very enthusiastic about tea and coffee and you can tell that she strives to provide quality drinks. This place definitely stands out in comparison to the mass produced, boba chains that provides low quality drinks as Tira tea house emphasizes the taste of their teas or espresso drinks rather than trying to just mask low quality ingredients with sugar or syrups. Regina carefully told us the process of how they adjust the sugar levels of their drinks. I liked how they add unsweetened tea to the drink rather than just diluting drinks with milk of half and half they way other places do so. This was perfect for my group of friends as we prefer drinks to taste less sweet and have a stronger tea flavor. I would definitely love to come here and try lore of their drinks as the 3 drinks (Oolong milk tea, regular milk tea and Caffe Latte). we have tried has been so far so good."
