Los Angeles County has a new destination for Taiwanese tea lovers. Oolong Tea Project, a popular Taiwanese tea chain known for its oolong-based drinks, has opened its first U.S. location in Rowland Heights. They’re now bringing their signature tea creations to Southern California.
The store has attracted a lot of attention from tea enthusiasts, with reports of customers waiting more than an hour during the shop’s early weeks.
What is Oolong Tea Project?
Oolong Tea Project, known as 得正 (Dejeng) in Taiwan, is a Taiwanese beverage chain that puts tea at the center of its menu. Rather than focusing solely on sweet, dessert-style drinks, the brand offers several oolong tea varieties with different flavor profiles and roasting levels.
Its signature tea bases include light oolong, spring oolong, and roasted oolong. These provide the foundation for a range of drinks, from traditional brewed tea to milk tea and specialty beverages topped with cheese foam.
The menu also features fruit teas, fresh milk drinks, and classic bubble tea combinations, with toppings such as tapioca pearls and oolong tea jelly.
What to order at Oolong Tea Project
Whether you prefer a straightforward cup of tea or something creamier, the menu offers several ways to enjoy the brand’s signature flavors.
- Roasted Oolong Milk Tea: A tea-forward option with a deeper, toasted flavor profile.
- Light Oolong Tea: A lighter choice for those who prefer a more delicate tea flavor.
- Spring Oolong: A fragrant tea variety that can be enjoyed on its own or in a specialty drink.
- Cheese Foam Tea: A creamy, savory-sweet topping paired with tea for a richer drink.
- Fruit Tea: A refreshing alternative to milk-based beverages.
- Milk Tea With Boba: A classic bubble tea option with chewy tapioca pearls.
The shop’s menu and available toppings may vary, so check the ordering screen for current selections and prices.
For fans of Taiwanese tea, the new Rowland Heights shop offers a chance to explore a menu built around the flavor and character of oolong.
