The Best Boba in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley | Eater LA

"Chapresso, a mom-and-pop shop, specializes in artisan boba tea drinks crafted with a coveted teapresso machine. This device mimics the traditional Chinese tea-brewing process, reducing brewing time to just a few minutes while preserving maximum tea flavor. Popular drinks include the jasmine pekoe milk tea, made with young tea leaves and jasmine flowers; Iron Goddess oolong milk tea, which offers a toasty, robust tea flavor with a floral aftertaste; and barley black milk tea, featuring roasted barley with a malt-like flavor combined with roasted black tea. The tea leaves are sourced from local farms in China, while the matcha comes directly from Japan. Chapresso also offers an iced hand-whisked tea series using ceremonial-grade matcha." - Kristie Hang
