Gong Cha
About
Gong Cha was founded in Kaohsiung in 2006 and is now worldwide; the name refers to tea once offered as tribute to the emperor. Its current LA shop is on 2nd St in Little Tokyo, where brown-sugar pearl milk and winter melon with milk foam are the classics.
Jasmine says
An old brand that tastes the same worldwide: you won't go wrong, but it won't make you post a story either.
