This place is money when it comes to fruit teas offering from orange to mulberry which are right in my wheelhouse. ICED MULBERRY GOLDEN FRUIT TEA: -- quality tea -- light on ice requested -- fruit prevails over the tea which is nice -- not artificial tasting, authentic tasting mulberry -- basil seeds addition work perfectly here and add health benefits -- not too sour, nor too sweet at 75%...I could gamble on 100% sweet but probably would not as it may impact the punch of mulberry flavor -- clear mulberry flavor...if you find mulberries at the store snag them up as they are hard to find out here RATING = A+ ICED SOMA ESSENTIAL MILK TEA: -- like the 3 tea blend -- light on ice requested -- good creaminess but the tea is bold enough to stand up -- good balance with neither creamy nor bold tea winning RATING = A There store interior has total retro art deco flair and comfortable seating that even Hercule Poirot would appreciate.

It wasn't busy when I went around 3pm on a Thursday. I got the Mushu Dragon Oolong Tea, no sugar, no ice, with complimentary basil seeds. The tea was too strong and concentrated in my opinion. I would have diluted it a bit or try it as a milk tea instead. Personally, I wouldn't get it with the basil seeds if I go again next time. Nothing wrong with it per se, just not the texture I prefer with my drink. The inside was very spacious, but not a lot of seats available. However, the service was pretty fast considering I went and ordered as a group with more than five drinks. If I'm in the area, I might give this another try and order a milk tea.

Got to try out their new drink called Mushu Dragon Oolong milk tea and also tried out just the tea version, one with lychee, and their signature milk tea. I had tried their matcha milk tea another time but never reviewed it, so thought this would be a good opportunity to review everything. Matcha milk tea: 3.5/5 I got it at 50% sweet with boba. Matcha is strong enough to taste it which is a good plus! But I still felt it was a bit too milk for me. It's a good solid matcha drink for a boba shop which I find rare. Mushu Dragon Oolong milk tea: 5/5! This is my favorite drink I've had so far. I read the sign saying it's an osmanthus oolong tea base, which is one of my favorites. I also got it at 50% sweet and I think 50% is their recommended sweetness which is perfect to me. The osmanthus oolong was strong and you can really taste to tea. 50% sweet was just the right amount of sugar where it's not overly sweet and taking the tea taste away. I was pleasantly surprised with this drink. My boyfriend tried it too and he agreed that this was our favorite of the bunch. Mushu Dragon Oolong tea: 4.5/5 A good solid sweetened tea! Tea was strong and sugar amount was just right. It's basically just the milk tea..with out the creamer haha. I usually prefer milk teas over just tea so I didn't like this as much, but it was still very refreshing. Mushu Dragon Oolong tea with lychee: 4/5 At 50% sweet the lychee taste was a little interesting! It tasted more tarte than sweet to me, which was new for me since I assume it's just lychee syrup. It had the sweetness you'd expect but also not as week as other lychee syrups. This was probably my least favorite out of the bunch but if you're a lychee fan you may enjoy this. Recommend probably at 100% sweet if you want it sweeter. Signature milk tea: 4/5 The tea base is like 3 different tea leaves - I think it's all black teas? When I tasted it, it reminded me of a Hong Kong style milk tea..or maybe like an Assam milk tea taste. I generally prefer green tea over black so I didn't enjoy it as much. My boyfriend did like this, but didn't feel it was as wow factor compared to the Mushu Dragon Oolong milk tea. Overall this place has some solid drinks. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They offered samples when I went of their signture milk tea and the mush dragon milk tea. I'd highly recommend giving the mushu dragon oolong milk tea a try if you don't want just a basic green or black tea base. Osmanthus oolong does have a slight floraly taste but not too bad. I'd come here again for that drink alone!

I've been on a hunting trip search around all of OC for a boba spot that strong in tea taste and SOMA is my new hidden gem! I really wanted to gate-keep this place but it would be such a bummer if you guys missed this boba spot since their drinks are super spectacular! If you into tea like me, SOMA just launched a new series called Wushu Dragon Oolong. We got 2 drinks from that series and their Golden Milk Tea with Signature Milk tea to compare the different tastes. The Wushu Oolong tea tastes very fresh! Since we also ordered a tea, we added lychee jelly as a topping to balance the flavor out, just in case the tea would taste too strong. The combination turned out amazing! Such a refreshing drink for a hot summer day! The wushu oolong milk tea tastes very unique with a light tea after taste. I like how every sip I took kept a tea aura inside my mouth that makes me have to continue drinking more to get that aftertaste feeling! Golden milk tea is stronger in aftertaste a little sip! The signature milk tea is also a must! Not too sweet but strong in a tea flavor! Remember to keep 50% sugar as their recommendation! The staff is super nice and helpful! They were so patient with me since it was my first time at SOMA, so they let me tried the sample before ordered to make sure I got what I wanted! The whole store is very clean and aesthetically appealing for every girl (or guys) like to take photos like me!
