Mango Green Tea Loose Leaf Tea Blend


I really enjoy this tea. It's mint flavor and you can slightly taste mango. It has caffeine in it because my hands were shaking when I was having a cup of this tea. I used to drink coffee a lot but I kinda stopped drinking and now, whenever I drink strong caffeinated drinks, my hands shakes.

Sweet citrus green tea blend balances real pieces of dried mango, dried mint leaves, and natural peach oils to bring a vibrant, refreshing taste to a premium sencha green tea base. Carefully crafted with the highest quality ingredients, this isn't your typical box store tea blend. We meticulously seek out quality ingredients to provide a natural, true tea experience with a great taste.​

Golden Pouch - Koreatown

About a month ago, New dimsum place opened in Koreatown.It's owned by the same owner of Quarter's BBQ and Klat. So I'm guessing they are using good quality meat. I was here during soft opening, and the business hours were 6pm-12am.The food wasn't bad. I liked shumai a lot and I'm willing to go back and try buns. But we ended up waiting for 40 minutes because someone else took our food by mistake. They need to provide number card or something. They put everything in a to go box and just leave the box with other customer's box.



This is how you order.

Boba green milk tea $3.99 
Boba wasn't soft enough


Bulgogi Xiao Long Bao (10pcs) $9.99

Chive shrimp pork Shao Mai (10pcs) $8.99 
They were my favorite of all. 

Sriracha bulgogi eggrolls (6pcs)$7.99

- Durathin Technology: Thin, comfortable, yet durable band allows multiple uses with proper care
- 100% Authentic Cruelty-Free North American Mink Fur: Stunning mink lashes resemble human hair
