Lemontea

Worst tea I have ever had. It was the Arnold Palmer. I think the lemonade was spoiled or something. Horrible. Waste of $ 5

I like coming here. Very convenient when working in the mall. Great tasting. But sometimes they run out of Pearl really fast. I usually go here in the morning around 11 – 12 and they are already out of Pearl. Other than they I would recommend!

Gave this place another try after a bad experience when they first opened up.
Tried the Jasmine Milk tea with 70% sweet and boba and to my surprise, it was delightfully pleasing. The sweetness did not overwhelm the Jasmine tea that I was craving.
The worker was really sweet and didn’t give me a hard time with my situation.
Will come again when I am in the area :)

Girl at the kiosk was super friendly and helpful! I asked her a bunch of questions as I couldn’t decide what drink to get and she was very patient with me. I settled for the almond milk tea as she told me it was one of the popular milk teas. Service was quick and I got my drink immediately.
As for my milk tea, it had the right amount of almond flavor and tasted good. The boba could have been a bit softer imo but it was bearable. Also a bit pricey compared to some places. Other than that, great cute little boba stop in pearlridge!

So sorry Bee’s Boba Express, Lemon Tea definitely is the «it» place to spend your money!!!
Lemon Tea vs Bees Boba Express
I had a milk tea today flavored with honey dew and extra boba at Bee’s Boba Express at the NEX. It was ok but Lemon Tea’s boutique kiosk at the Pearl Ridge Mall blows Bee’s Boba Express out of the water.
Customized and personalized!
The owner of Lemon Tea has personally developed his own proprietary tea blend of highly refined teas that are so smooth and flavorful. There is NO hint of a bitterness after taste.
What’s crazy is that the price is the same at Bee’s Boba and Lemon Tea. Bees is cookie cutter and uses regular tea, where Lemon Tea is personally mixed and refined to provide you a customized experience. With the right amount of sweetness that will tantalize your taste buds to keep you coming back for more! You get to choose how sweet you want your drink.
In conclusion: if they both cost the same then there’s no question on which one choose. Lemon Tea of course!
tip: A new boutique kiosk OPENING SOON at SALON BLANC located in the Kokua building at Ward. A super yummy bonus for me since I already get my hair done there.

Pretty good! Since Lemontea is known for their refreshing lemonades and milk teas, I wanted to try the Captain Crunch and it was alright. Just wanted to try something different though, I think next time the strawberry milk tea would taste much better! The add ons are 50 cents if you want pearls or jelly. The service is really friendly and they make it pretty fast too. Definitely coming back!

Boba drinks at Pearlridge.
Tried milk tea boba for the first time in Hawaii today. I don’t ever buy boba drinks in Hawaii because I live in So Cal and it’s everywhere. I was actually over the boba phase ions ago but it’s famous and popping up everywhere, and I’m growing to like it again! Green Milk Tea Boba is my usual drink if I’m in the mood for boba.
I had the Jasmine Green Milk Tea boba today. Pretty good for powdered drink. It wasn’t overly sweet. Just over-​priced. My mom wouldn’t pay more then $ 5 and because they charge extra for boba, I had to get the 16oz $ 4.54. $ 1 more for 4oz more. Crazy. Maybe because it’s the mall? Usually a larger size would not be much more.
Anyway, I’m may not be giving a fair review. They are known for lemon teas not milk tea, hence the name of the store. They do have good boba. It’s soft and chewy. I’m only writing a review because I’m in the back seat doing nothing, going home lol. Okay, I’m home now.
Thanks for reading!
If I come back to this mall, I will try out the fruity teas.

While walking around Pearlridge Center, we came across Lemontea.
Service was friendly and very helpful. The cashier was super sweet! There is some seating around this kiosk. They offer plenty of different teas and other refreshing drinks. We tried the Arnold Palmer, which was refreshing but the flavor was slightly off. Not sure what is was. I’m glad we tried Lemontea.

Pricey but consistent– I feel like these drinks should be a buck or two… slurrrrrpeer pricing. Oh well!!! I either have the Thai iced tea boba or coconut milk tea. The boba is fresh and nommy, and I feel like no matter what size I get I want more! Enjoy!

My boyfriend and I came to Lemontea in Pearlridge Shopping Center this past Saturday after a long day of shopping. We hardly ever come out to Pearlridge, so we decided to try something new. I’ve noticed a lot of small tea shops opening within the past year or so, but this was the first with drinks such as «White Gummy Bear» and «Pink Starburst». It sounded too good to be true.
I ended up ordering a small Red Gummy Bear with lemonade. I originally wanted boba, but they were all out for the day. Bummers. The two young men that were working at the time were very helpful and friendly, which was a huge plus.
The drink itself was very sweet, but it did taste like a red gummy bear. However, it was actually a very unpleasant combination, since the lemonade was very sour and the red gummy bear syrup was almost sickly sweet. I ended up having to let the ice melt and add even more water to dilute the drink when I got home. I did notice that they have different levels of sweetness for their drinks, and will probably try 50% next time.
Overall, I agree with the overall rating of Lemontea at 3 ½ stars. However, I really want to see small businesses like these do well, so I bumped it up to 4 stars. Hopefully the next time I come out to Pearlridge, I will come back and try some of their other delicious sounding drinks!

Went here again to get my favorite tea, I must say I always look forward to it.
I will say I was a little bummed when I stuck my straw in to drink it. Tasted super watered down and not right. When my sister took it back and told the girls that it didn’t taste right, they were just kinda like. «Huh what do you mean it don’t taste right» it was just horrible, didn’t taste good to me. Anyway girl made another one and it tasted a little better but not exactly how it usually taste when I get it. Oh well, I’ll try again another time. Hopefully its to my liking.

I came to this place two different times hoping to like one of their drinks… I was disappointed both times. They did not taste good, it tasted as if I drank perfume =(At least the staff was nice and friendly.

Boba Shops and Tea Cafes are not a novelty here in Hawaii, but the convenience of Pearlridge’s new Lemontea kiosk is an updated take on the trend!
The best part of Lemontea’s location in Pearlridge (in front of Gomatei in Pearlridge Uptown) is the amount of available parking! Why squeeze your way into a too-​tight stall or idle for the next available parking space when you can just park in one of Pearlridge’s spacious lots? Why run back to your illegally parked car before that cop pulls up, when you can casually stroll through the mall at your own pace! Aside from the obvious upgrade in parking options, Lemontea’s limited menu and lack of boba-​like add-​ons may not sit well with most boba enthusiasts, but for a West Sider with little to no parallel parking experience, I am an instant fan of Lemontea!
If the name didn’t already give it away, Lemontea is known for both its lemonade AND tea beverages. I was craving something light and refreshing, so I went ahead and ordered the Mango Green Tea with Boba. Unfortunately, my first visit happened to be on a day that Lemontea was promoting some of their other add-​on options (Popping Jelly, Mixed Jelly, Lychee Jelly, etc.) instead of boba. Noticing my disappointment, the friendly Lemontea employees suggested I try the Popping Jelly and gave me a few samples to try out. I loved the Mango Popping Jelly and decided to have an extra mango-​y Mango Tea! Before they finished my drink, they let me sample the tea to make sure it was the right sweetness level, similar to how Taste Tea operates. While the Popping Jelly was a fun twist on my usual boba, I made sure to return again to get the real thing. On my next visit, I ordered the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Mini Boba. The milk tea, which I ordered at 50% sweetness, was great! And the mini boba was a perfect texture!
Lemontea may not have all the makings for Hawaii’s Favorite Boba Spot, but they do have excellent customer service (at least when I went…)!

After having lunch at the Pearl Ridge Uptown food court, we decided to have a cool drink at this new tea place.
I ordered the Almond Milk Tea. The person making the drink asked what level of sweetness I wanted. I ask to have it regular and it wasn’t bad.
The price points were average but on the more expensive end. I didn’t get a chance to ask my girlfriends about their drinks, because they had to go… but I’m sure we’ll order from them again!

This is a mercy 4 stars… What’s a mercy 4 star you ask?
IMHO this is a 3 star establishment, but I do not want to blame lemontea for my distaste of lemontea. I could just not be a fan. However, since this is my personal opinion (much too sour for my taste), I’m going to focus on the service.
Although there seemed to be 2 people with lemontea shirts around, only one sticked around to help when I walked up. However, one is all they needed since there was no line. I liked that there was no minimum amount to charge your card. The tablet apps these days are so handy for that! She quickly whipped up my tea without any delay. You cannot knock that at all.
I need to come back and try something else. Maybe a milk tea… at the lemontea place.

LOVE.
I saw a couple of friends posting about this place on instagram and had to try it out. I immediately bookmarked it on Unilocal to remind myself about this place later.
Although I live in Aiea, i rarely get around to going to Pearlridge. So when I found myself making a little trip to Ross, I made it my little mission to go and find this place.
Went downstairs and found the little kiosk in front of Gomatei. Based on the reviews, I ordered a White Gummy with Green tea and small boba.
It. was. DELICIOUS. Oh mah lawwwwwwdddddd, I couldnt get enough of it. It had a good balance between the sweet and sourness of lemon with the taste of tea.
I went back a few weeks later to get another White Gummy but I think I got it with lemonade instead and MAN was it sour. So if you get the white gummy, get it was Green tea!
Im gonna hafta go back and try the Skittles. Heard it was good.

I happened to stumble on this gem of a kiosk this past weekend while at Pearlridge. I hardly ever come to this mall, so I’m glad they have a kiosk that sells something other than e-​cigs or sunglasses, lol.
If you don’t already know, I l-​o-​v-​e iced teas. Plantation iced tea to be exact. So I was suuuuper excited to order a drink when I came across this place.
I ordered the large plantation iced tea and I ordered my cousin a medium li-​hing tea.
They have this really cool drink shaker machine where they shake the drinks to blend the ingredients. Very smart, as the flavor will be evenly distributed throughout the drink. My cousin got to sample a taste of the li-​hing mui tea and they asked if that was enough or too little li-​hing for her liking. I thought that was cool.
I let my son have the first sip of my drink and he would not let it go! I finally had a sip and it was tasty… i would say it would be in the top 5 of PIT’s that I’ve ever had. I hardly got to drink it though, because he drank it while on the car ride home!
I am looking forward to come back to try more flavors :)

Have only tried the mango black tea so far. Asked for 50% sweetener and it was too sweet so they added a little more tea to it. I would still go less next time but I just like it a little sweet and I think with the mango that’s enough without having to add anything else.
Like everyone else says, the drinks are expensive for what you get and there’s a lot of ice in it too.
I would like to give their original tea (or whatever it’s called) a try, since that’s supposedly their specialty.
The thing it has going for it is convenience… if you’re at the mall, it’s easier to get a drink here than drive to another milk tea/​bubble drink/​lemonade place.

Yummy White Gummie. Loving this new tea concept.
Visited *lemontea* for the first time today… I’m a fan. Worth the drive from town just to have lemontea and shopping.
Cute little kiosk at Pearlridge Uptown, right outside of TJ Maxx. There’s also bar stools to enjoy your tea, lemonade there.
Sasha and Dean gave excellent customer service and gave me samples of the Pink Lemonade and Passion Fruit Green Tea. Refreshing and delish!
I ordered the White Gummie Jasmine. the floral notes of the jasmine tea paired with the white gummie syrup were on point. Not too sweet, but just right.

Lemonade meets lychee. In theory, it sounds tasty, I guess. But in reality, think of a sour lemon that has a bite to it in liquid form mixed with a super sweet lychee drink. What you get is… Um. Interesting to say the least. You get smacked with the tartness from the lemonade and then slugged with the super sweetness of the lychee.
I’m not in to getting beat up by a drink that was close to 6 bucks for a large (they only had the large available when I went). I will give them some credit, however, as their lychee jelly that I added was the best part. Not enough to keep me drinking it, unfortunately.
The people working there are friendly, and the little cart spot in the middle of the mall is cute. But in my opinion, I’m too scarred from this recent trial of lychee lemonade to invest more money in to the garbage can.
