Moo Tea — Restaurant in Alhambra

Moo Tea, at the time of this review, had its grand opening with a promotion of buy one get one 50% off. Deciding that this deal was enticing enough to try their drinks, I decided to go with my brother to try it. However, I wish I didn't.

Due to their promotion, I got two drinks: Jasmine Green Milk Tea and a classic Milk Tea. Both drinks were 25% sugar, no ice, and had boba. When I tried both drinks, they tasted heavily diluted as if they didn't have the ratio correct. I couldn't really taste the tea flavor for either the black tea or the jasmine which was disappointing since I usually get a lower sugar for the higher tea flavor. The boba itself was pretty decent. It was soft with a slight chewiness. The one thing that I did enjoy was that they fill the cup to the brim. However, at the same time, their cup design isn't the greatest.

Their cup design is built for cheese foam as is evident from its rotating top lid. However, because it is a rotating top lid, it isn't very secure as it doesn't lock and will spill pretty easily. Even though Moo Tea tries to secure it with a piece of tape, the drink will still spill even if nothing has been pierced.

The biggest thing that bothered me is their questionable sanitation. When I was watching them work as I was waiting for my drink, I noticed that one of the workers dropped a cup with a sticker (which is used to tell the worker what type of drink it is) on the floor. They picked it up and then pulled a new cup and looked at the old cup. They put back the new cup and decided to rinse off the old cup with water and dry it with a paper towel. After that, they just resumed their regular workflow with the old cup still being used. This is a blatant health hazard and I am not happy with the way the worker decided to handle that situation.

Overall, I don't plan on coming back due to their quality, their questionable workflow, and the value for what I could get from other boba...

I came to try myself after looking at the boba shops on the area. I ordered the Purple Yam Fresh Milk w Boba & Pudding and the Caramel Milk Tea w Dalgona Coffee. The one I tried was the Purple Yam one and I say it’s pretty average but not gross or anything similar. Something that I dislike was the boba, it was quite hard but at the same time it sticks to the the teeth, I don’t know if it is usually like this. Also the amount of boba was a bit little and barely noticeable but I guess that’s it’s okay considering the price of the drinks that goes from 4-6$ and are tall cups. The place looked clean and calm. The service was good from the lady at the cashier, and she was the only one I saw there at the time. Maybe I would return if I’m really close to that area and on weekdays since they have the buy one get the second one 50%...

New boba spot in sgv. They appear to be known for purple yam with milk. Unfortunately, they don’t have non dairy milk alternatives.

Got the peach tea with yogurt foam. Very delicious, tangy, and refreshing. The tea had nice chunks of peaches in it. If you don’t have too much of a sweet tooth, consider 0-30% sugar as the drink is quite sweet.

I also got the jasmine green milk tea and surprisingly it was very good! It had a nice light floral taste and wasn’t overly creamy. I got it with 30% sugar. I am quite the jasmine milk tea fanatic and have tried many boba spots in sgv including wushiland, factory tea bar, tenren, etc and I can safely say that this is the best JMT. Unfortunately, it is non-dairy creamer,...
