TP Tea is operated by Ten Ren Tea Company, a Taiwanese tea company founded in 1953 with 70 years of tea sourcing expertise. The Green Milk Tea is the essential order: fresh-brewed green tea base with a natural astringency that powder-based shops cannot replicate.

The Sea Salt Cheese Tea adds a savory cream foam that is lighter and more tea-focused than Machi Machi or Happy Lemon. Take Diamond Bar Blvd north to Colima Rd west for the Rowland Heights location. Prices run $6.50 to $8.50.
