"Wanpo Tea Shop was founded by Peter Chang, whose family sold a variety of drinks at their grocery store in Taichung, Taiwan, in the 1950s. It was a popular hangout spot where aunties and uncles from the neighborhood would spend their afternoons over cups of aiyu lemonade and winter melon tea. Inspired by his family’s grocery store, Chang opened the first Wanpo Tea Shop in 1992, and it has since become a global Taiwanese bubble tea chain with locations in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom. At the Greenwich Village location, the vintage-style decor is reminiscent of tea shops in the 1940s. The most popular orders here include the red bean jelly drink, Wanpo milk tea, and aiyu jelly lemon tea." - Anna Huang, Chloe Chan
