Sunright Tea Studio, Southern California's newest Bubble Tea Shop, opens in Little Tokyo in Downtown Los Angeles and on Sawtelle Boulevard in West L.A. 

Sunright Tea Studio was established in Southern California in 2019. Steeped in culture, Sunright unites traditional Taiwanese flavors and current SoCal trends to bring truly delicious beverages packed with flavor. Working with fresh quintessential flavors of boba, taro and matcha alongside American classic flavors, like Oreos, Sunright guests get the best of both worlds.

The sunny theme of Sunright Tea Studio isn't limited to the atmosphere in their stores. Sunright's tea leaves are cultivated on mountaintop farms, where they soak up the essence of the sun and absorb nourishing misty evening rains. Sunright's master farmers pick the freshest leaves and carefully roll, roast, or ferment them to perfection. The tea is then blended with other natural tea varietals based on origin, weather, and season, resulting in beautifully balanced and consistent flavor. Sunright also takes great pride in bringing intention to their processing and sourcing the highest quality ingredients, whether they are prepared in-house or procured from first-class purveyors in Asia and California. This includes using locally sourced barista-grade nondairy milks from LA's Califia Farms and Yakult Probiotic Drink, produced in Orange County.

Sunright was designed to be much more than just a tea shop – it is a tea studio created to bring joy into the routine of the daily caffeine fix while introducing Southern Californians to Sunright's creative, high-quality teas and specialty beverage collections - featuring Sunright Boba Milk, Cheese Foam, Frosties, Coffee, The Right Milk Tea, Sunny Fruit Tea, Original Tea, and Brûlée Lattes with Oat Milk. Sunright's original flavor pairings combine traditional teas (Ceylon black tea, jasmine green tea, roasted oolong, and special oolong varietal called Four Seasons) with unique ingredients, bringing a new understanding of how each tea's individual qualities perfectly complement the additional flavors. The four tea varietals in Sunright beverages are selected for carefully defined attributes that deliver unmatched experiences.
