Gong Cha Allston, Boston

"Gong Cha", which translates to the act of offering high-quality, flavorful teas to an Emperor in ancient China, now lends its name to the international beverage company specializing in tea, coffee, and juice. Founded in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2006, Gong Cha has since expanded rapidly, with the principle of treating every customer like a royal existing emperor. Every location brews new tea leaves every four hours to ensure freshness and optimal flavor and creates each drink to customers' preferred level of sweetness. Icy cups of Wintermelon Oolong, Coffee Milk Tea, and Earl Grey Milk Tea can be topped with coconut jelly or creamy milk foam for a refreshing and healthy treat.
