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

"Shake 17 times. Seventeen is the magic number that Sunright claims patrons should shake its drinks for the perfect blend. Sunright has some of the most unique drinks in the SGV. The shop imports its ingredients from Taiwan, with the exception of matcha powder from Japan. The signature Sunright Fruit Tea is made using high-quality oolong tea that is mixed with fresh-squeezed orange juice, passionfruit, and orange and lemon slices. The milk tea is sweetened with house-made brown sugar, just like in Taiwan. The slightly larger-than-average boba is cooked for 90 minutes in brown sugar to ensure that the boba fully absorbs the flavor. Every month or so, Sunright releases exclusive seasonal flavors that are only available for a limited time. Past favorites have included the seasonal grapefruit Yakult with its citrusy blend of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and Yakult yogurt served with grapefruit slices. Another fan favorite special, the Summer Frostie, is a smoothie made with passionfruit and pineapple jam from Taiwan, served with cheese foam and jasmine tea jelly." - Kristie Hang
