Tea Hill
318 W Franklin St, Chapel Hill, NC
Crema's Take
“Tea Hill has carved out a refreshing niche in Chapel Hill by prioritizing genuine craft over trendy aesthetics—their oolong milk teas are carefully balanced so the sweetness never overwhelms, and their boba is consistently soft and chewy in a way that suggests real attention to detail. Beyond the tea, they've built a genuinely cool atmosphere that feels equally welcoming for a solo study session or a lingering meal with friends, supported by a team that treats hospitality like an art form. It's the kind of place that doesn't announce itself loudly but earns its loyal following through the simple act of doing things right: thoughtful drinks, solid food, and a space that makes you want to stay.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

The oolong milk tea was really good compared to some I’ve had at other places. The boba was soft and chewy. They get your sugar level right do you don’t have to worry about it being too sweet or too bland. They have a lot of drinks and food choices to choose from. Makes a great…
