Tastea Berryessa — Restaurant in San Jose

This is a place for non-milk tea drinkers! They have some awesome fruit teas with fruit bits and flavorful bobas. 🥤

The newest promo is the Melon Series, which consists of watermelon, honey dew and cantaloupe with real bits of the fruit in the drink. It's almost like an agua fresca, but icee form! I highly recommend trying all three flavors because I have. They're really refreshing for the weather we've been having lately. 👍☀️

A personal favorite for me and my step son is the Peach Me Sweetea. My step daughter loves Strawberry Ecsteasy with honey boba. I also like the Salted Cream Jasmine. The kids also love the Karate Chicken with level 2: Medium Kick, which is not to such and has enough kick. My step son really loves Shrimp On It with level 1: Mild But Wild, which has the perfect kick for us. Level 2 was too much for the shrimp for us. I think it's prefer the basil sightly fried too! 😁

The other day, I ordered the Summer Series with Cantaloupe and it was delicious, until it melted a little on the way to work. I saw a tiny little black square of the unknown floating around. I managed to get it out to see what it was and I don't have a clue. Luckily, it was the only piece I found because I was watching every sip I took. I'll just have to let any slushy/icee drinks in the future melt a little before I ingest something I shouldn't.

All in all, service is great, fast and friendly! The store is...

I felt unwelcome today - had to figure out which door to go and then once I ordered the cashier informed me to wait outside, which is fine but I really do not like having to open your heavy door twice to go in and out and another time through another door to get the drinks, you could make it a smoother walk to the other side where customers can still wait 6 feet apart, or change your door to make it swing both sides. While waiting I went to check on my hotdog order next door and came back and saw 2 drinks ready that looks like mine, so I opened the heavy door and went inside half way and the staff yelled “I didn’t call your name yet!!” Oh wow! talk about being customer friendly. I think staff forget to be friendly and smile when they are now wearing mask and it shows in the tone of their voice. So I scurried our quickly being embarrassed by your staff (thank god I was the only customer there!! So there was really not need to shoo me away) and I had to open the door again to wait outside. Of course I hate having to open that door for the 3rd time when my drinks are ready. All in I have to get yelled at and sanitized my hands like 4 times just to get my drinks. I even forgot to pull out my credit card and at least the staff realized it 10 mins later when someone came to order and she came out with my credit card. Not going back again. I don’t like the...

This was my first time ordering food from Tastea, I usually only get the drinks. I am glad I picked the large order of"Shrimp on It!", which is juicy shrimp hand battered & seasoned with Tastea dust & cooked to crispy perfection served at 5 spice levels. I am a chicken and I picked the lowest spice level, "Mild, but wild." I hate the feeling of getting sweaty on my face from eating spicy food so I don't torture myself anymore. The shrimp was fried to a perfect crisp and very flavorful. They did a great job in cooking it because it was not soggy at all, even though though I did not eat it immediately. For my dipping sauce,, I choose the "Weak Sauce". It was a combination of sweet and sour with some pepper and fish sauce. My only disappointment was there was only eighteen pieces for $11, which is pretty expensive for that amount of Shrimp. They also included a pair of Tastea branded chop sticks for me to use. They also have a similar item with chicken,  called the "Karate Chicken". I might try that next time. Overall,  I did like the fried shrimp and would recommend. I also got the "Chamango" as a drink,  a perfect mixture of Mango and spice. It tastes exactly like the Mexican Mango candy lollipops....
