First off, walking into an HTea0 is like walking into tea heaven. You open the door and ā boom ā the smell hits you. Fresh tea brewing, sweet fruitiness in the air, and that cold blast of AC that feels like a hug on a Texas summer day. You look over and thereās this giant wall of taps. Not two or three flavors. Not even ten. Weāre talking a ridiculous lineup ā sweet teas, unsweet teas, fruity mixes, crazy combos ā all just sitting there waiting for you to create your perfect drink.
The best part? You can sample before you choose. Thatās right, theyāll actually let you try flavors first so you donāt end up committing to a gallon of something you might not like. (Which, letās be honest, is dangerous because now you want all of them.)
And donāt even get me started on the ice. HTea0 has the perfect nugget ice ā soft enough to chew without breaking your teeth, but solid enough to keep your drink cold forever. Iāve legit finished my tea and just sat there munching on the ice like itās a snack. Iām convinced itās the same kind they use in heaven.
The flavors? Unmatched. Sweet Georgia Peach, Mango Fresco, Mint Green, Almond Green⦠itās like they bottled up happiness and put it in a cup. You can go healthy with unsweet teas, or you can go all-in with sweet tea so sugary itāll make you see sounds. And theyāre all brewed fresh. No weird syrups, no sad watered-down taste ā just real tea done right.
On top of all that, the people there are actually nice. Like, genuinely nice. Theyāll remember your face, chat with you while theyāre filling your cup, and make you feel like youāre more than just another customer. Thatās rare these days.
HTea0 isnāt just a drink stop ā itās an experience. Itās your summer afternoon lifesaver, your road trip essential, your āI deserve a treatā moment. Iāve tried other tea places and⦠nope. They donāt even come close. Once youāve had HTea0, itās game over. Nothing else...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreSo many tea flavors of green and black teas!! The ice is great, it's small pieces but their ice machines don't always work. I've been in there a few times now and have had to wait on the ice machines to either be filled or the ice to be broken up so it'll come out. Besides that, I haven't had any other issues there. They also have snacks like chips and jerky and some other items. They sell ice chests and insulated cups also. You can get your own by going in or you can go through the drive thru. I haven't been through the drive thru yet, I like to go inside so I can mix my tea just the way I like it. Which is 60 percent unsweetened coconut and 40 percent sweet Texas Chia :) They do a happy hour from 2-4, which is awesome because it's half off drinks but I think that only applies to the cups of tea. They also have a tea rewards program you can sign up for, which I haven't really gotten to know yet. Along with the cups, ranging from medium to giant, you can also get smaller jugs (not sure on the size) or gallon jugs filled with any mix of tea to take home with you and it stays...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePoor Service - Good Product
I live near downtown Houston. I have a choice of where to drive to purchase their tea. In each case, itās a 30 minute drive to get to an HTea9. Iāve gone to this shop in Sugarland and the one in Katy. I buy 4-6 gallons of tea at a time - about once a month. Iām in my mid 70s - so multiple gallons of tea in this quantity is heavyā¦youāll understand when you get to this age bracket.
So whatās the difference in locations?
In KATY, they immediately box up the separate containers to make it easier to carry. They carry the tea out to my car and load it for me
In Sugarland, I have to ask for a box and carry and load the tea in my car myself. There is never a hint of offering help. The counter help was too busy talking with each other.
So hereās the bottom lineā¦.given the total lack of help in the Sugarland store and a quick to help no questions asked help in Katy - and - each a 30 minute drive from my house -
Sugarland...
