Lynn Beauty Station - Temple City

So many 'boba shops ' don 't care about the tea they serve...and this place is SO not one of them. On the left they have a wonderful assortment of loose leaf teas, properly graded in the way I haven 't seen outside of SF and NYC 's Chinatowns. On the right was seating for the restaurant side of the business. And in the middle was the line of folk ordering iced teas to go. I had the Taro Milk Tea, 0% Sugar, with Boba. My wife had the Jasmine Tea, 25% Sugar, with Crystal Jelly. Both were extraordinary...if not the best we 've ever had, tied with one or two others for the top spot. You don 't come here for the atmosphere (though many were quite happily munching on lunch) and the service was quick and to the point. But do, do, do come here for the tea.

Drinks are huge and well worth the price. I got the lychee fruit tea and hot mango green tea, size large.

Only two girls at the counter, and they were about 30 minutes to closing. Girl took my friend 's order, then went back, to her partner on shift for a couple minutes, before taking my order. She could 've just taken both our orders, before going back to them, and then dealing with the next batch of folks, but at the end of the day, we both got our drinks at the same time. So I can 't complain. This place is nicely lit. Not too dark, but not ultra bright to where your eyes are blinded. n nIn response to someone complaining about this location being more of a tea shop instead of a boba place, the chain started exactly that way. Does that mean they 're reducing the crazy variety of sugar-laden drinks, and friend street foods? Probably, but when I came to this location, I never saw it in its previous incarnations, so I didn 't have that expectation.

You're probably going to have to find parking in the underground lot. In fact, for this Tea Station the stairs to the underground parking lot are conveniently located right there.

Ordered a Red Bean dessert soup, 99% flavored water, 1% beans. Place looks like they are transitioning the shop to a tea market. Don't come here for red bean dessert soup, or anything else, they seem to be not focused on being a Boba shop anymore.
