The Best Boba in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley | Eater LA
"Odd One Out Tea is a Taiwanese tea house that specializes in small-batch boba and award-winning teas. Inspired by the art of mixology, the drinks were developed by Taiwanese tea and mixology experts who replace alcohol with tea. The tea house uses high-quality leaves grown by local farmers in Taiwan, grinding them fresh and brewing each cup with a tea extractor. Uncommon ingredients, such as juniper jelly, white fungus, wild ginger flowers, and blue spirulina, are paired with fresh, handmade syrups. Flavors like longan honey, lemongrass, and lavender add depth to the specialty menu. Signature drinks, including the Champion Milk Tea and Golden Buddha Silk Boba—both winners at the Taiwan Milk Tea Festival—showcase the brand’s craftsmanship. The shop’s silk boba, made with a blend of tapioca and konjac, offers a uniquely silky texture." - Kristie Hang
