Mr. Sun, a Taiwanese boba tea shop, plans to open his store at 101 E Moreland Road in Willow Grove’s Moreland Plaza in late September or early October.

Carl Chung, the store’s franchisee, told us this will be the first location on the East Coast. The chain has more than 300 locations in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as six stores in California and four in Canada.

“We offer unique tea drinks with freshly hand-made fruit bobas and our store will be equipped with special boba machines,” said Chung. “Bobas will be made fresh in-house by trained chefs. We ensure that the entire boba-making process remains transparent and that only fresh ingredients are used and no preservatives are added.”

Chung noted that because boba is made on-site, the shop will offer daily flavors that other boba shops don’t have, such as strawberry and mango. Special weekend flavors include matcha, blueberry, peach, passion fruit, kiwi and more.

Mr Sun says that no chemical preservatives, tea powder, spices or artificial sweeteners are used and that only organic cane sugar imported from Taiwan is used.
