HTeaO gaining popularity from the public
HTeaO’s new location in Corpus Christi and is changing the game one ounce at a time across Texas. Texans take their tea very seriously and HTeaO offers the perfect spot to cool off from the Texas Heat while satisfying customers’ cravings.
I visited HTeaO in Corpus Christi on their opening day and the line was out the door; I debated if I should leave, but I decided to see what the “hype” was about. From the second I walked through the doors I was impressed; at HTeaO you can let your creativity flow into your cup.
The service was phenomenal, and the excitement from the customers reminded me of a trip to Bucee’s. While it may seem overwhelming, once you understand the process it’s as easy as “one- two- tea.” Customers begin by choosing their desired cup size and fill it with what locals refer to as “Sonic ice” (pellet ice).
Next up is sampling all flavors of teas;
once the customer finds their favorite, they can make their own combination or stick to one flavor.
The final step is customizing the tea with 70-cent fruit toppings such as strawberries, mint, and blueberries.
If their options are not your cup of tea, you can try the pink lemonade or their coffee starting June 16.
One of the main concerns when it comes to sweet tea is the amount of sugar, but at HTeaO they’ve got you covered with many sugar-free options.
As embarrassing as this may sound, I sampled every flavor they had to offer.
The sweet almond green tea took me by surprise. I would have never ordered that flavor on my own. It did not overwhelm me with sweetness like most sweet teas do and it also didn’t come with the weird green tea aftertaste.
My favorite flavor had to be the Texas Chai, with the perfect blend of spice and richness this flavor is a must try that pairs especially well with their Sweet Georgia Peach Tea.
Overall, I would rate HTeaO a nine out of 10 as the perfect spot to quench your thirst.
