Woodside Dad Launches Kung Fu Tea in Redwood City, Opens Soon!

URGENT UPDATE: A new Kung Fu Tea location is set to soft open in Redwood City on October 27, 2023, bringing a much-anticipated boba experience closer to local families. Drew Shih, a Woodside dad of four daughters aged 11 to 19, has taken matters into his own hands after countless trips across the city for their boba cravings.

Frustrated by the lack of nearby options, Shih and his family researched various boba franchises, ultimately choosing Kung Fu Tea for its authentic Taiwanese offerings. “It became sort of an obsession,” he said, as they aimed to satisfy both traditional tastes and mainstream preferences. This new location will feature a staggering menu of 70 drinks, catering to every member of the family.

The Kung Fu Tea menu includes unique choices like honey oolong and winter melon milk teas, refreshing fruit drinks such as rose hip lemonade and lychee punch, and delightful slushies in flavors like taro and apple pie. Shih’s daughters have personally taste-tested the offerings, ensuring they meet family standards.

The family plans an official grand opening for November 15, 2023, making this a prime time for boba enthusiasts to visit. Currently, the only nearby Kung Fu Tea is located in San Jose, with this new outlet at 593 D Woodside Road expected to draw significant crowds.

With this new location, Shih aims to eliminate the long drives and provide a local hub for boba lovers. The emotional connection of a father striving to meet his daughters’ needs resonates with many, making this debut not just a business venture, but a community-focused initiative.
