UG Tea
About
UG Tea, on Valley Blvd in San Gabriel, has something rare: its own standalone building with its own parking lot, plus a photo booth inside. It uses whole-leaf tea, with signatures like the camellia milk tea series, osmanthus oolong milk tea and Uji matcha drinks (best at 30% sugar), plus seasonal specials.
Jasmine says
A rising star on Valley Boulevard: the osmanthus oolong fresh milk tea smells unfairly good, and matcha fans fall for it too; they say a tree gets planted for every thousand cups (not drinking one would be letting the planet down).
