There is a cup of tea out there for everyone, whether it's a simple cup of straight tea, or a crafted glass of flavored tea. At Asha, we strive to feed (or cultivate) this love for tea by serving you high-quality tea drinks made with fresh, pure and real ingredients. But we also know that drinking tea isn't just about the drink--it's also about where you drink it and who you drink it with. Which i

s why we designed every element of our Berkeley tea house, from the open communal table and cozy booth seating to the loyalty program and friendly customer service, to maximize your tea-drinking enjoyment. "Asha", after all, is Taiwanese for "someone that enjoys life", and our hope is that drinking Asha Tea will remind you of the things you enjoy about life.

Our next anniversary collaboration is with Eric of SOS Bakeshop—a 🍵 matcha macaron ice Cream Sando!

Eric’s seasonal macaron boxes have been best-sellers at Asha for 5+ years now, and he and David pulled all the stops to offer this decadent treat for our celebration. Made with Shades of Sugar Bakeshop’s fragrant LAFAZA Madagascar vanilla bean shell and our rich ceremonial matcha soft serve.

These are truly a labor of love, and available in limited quantities at both stores (especially Berkeley, where customers got early access yesterday when it still felt like summer here in the Bay Area!). Make sure to snag one before we sell out! 💚
