COMEBUYTEA - Bella Terra — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Very cool storefront and good service...until the paper cup kept leaking! It leaked once in the plastic bag just as I placed it into the car cup holder, so I brought it back inside the store immediately, the worker simply replaced the remaining content into a new cup (other stores would have remade the drink even if a customer simply did not like the taste not to mention a cup issue), resealed, thought it'll be ok only for it to leak again! It even got on my car seat, thankfully it's leather so it didn't soak through. By the time I got home we ended up with only half a cup left and sticky hands and car seat. The seal was perfectly fine for the plastic cups but definitely unacceptable for the paper ones. For the price and being a global brand this is upsetting. I've been a customer in multiple countries and so far this has only happened at...

i initially had really high hopes for this place, but unfortunately both drinks left much to be desired

peach oolong tea, 30% sugar, light ice: not an uncommon order of mine, but I would have preferred a green tea that wasn't jasmine; unfortunately, they didn't offer one. no problem! however, the drink itself had a strange taste that was like the tea was only half steeped and the peach flavor was.. interesting.

black tea with fresh milk, 50% sugar, light ice: a very basic order, hard to go wrong. however, the boba pearls themselves were hard and tough, as well as varying in size. they had no flavor themselves and were just mildly sweet. the milk tea was bland and, again, the tea felt only half steeped

i really wish i could say something better about this shop, but unfortunately i will not...

Boba with authentic tea instead of the other boba places that use powder or seep a ton of tea in big vats. This place makes the tea one cup at a time for each boba drink.

The drinks do not rely on fancy toppings or heavy syrups or sugar. The taste is pure and flavorfull. I ordered three different boba teas to try and each had its distinct flavor. Matcha was sweet but not over powering. Pineapple was tart and fruity with the coconut jelly enhancing the balance. Finally the three tea blend reminded me of the first time that I had boba where the tea is the star of the drink and not the weird concoctions that other places have (Oreo boba I’m talking about you).

I would recommend ordering hot tea here or boba with zero sugar to enjoy the true flavour...
