I heard great things about Chun Yang, so I was excited to stop by when I was passing through the area. This particular segment of LIC had a lot of boba shops, and I had actually visited one earlier in the day. The kiosk ordering system makes a lot of sense for me, but I do wish the menu was more clearly displayed in the store. The family behind me looked confused and had to wait to get to the kiosk to decide they do not want anything offered here.
The tea came out very quickly after I ordered it, though it was not a terribly busy time when I went, so I did not expect any delays. The tea was really delicious, with bits of lychee floating around an icy oolong tea with crushed ice chips, which made it feel almost like a slush. You could not control the sugar level or the ice level-- I suppose with the lychee flavor syrup and the crushed nature of the ice, this is unavoidable.
The store was a little small, with one table for two and a couple of bar seats by the window. It's really a takeout kind of place, not a comfy cafe. I'm excited to see if Chun Yang Tea will expand into the suburb-y areas like many of its counterparts have been trying to! It was worth a little detour, but I wouldn't trek out to LIC for it.
