It looks like a new smoothie and tea purveyor is moving into the old Junbi location at 10967 Weyburn Ave. in Westwood Village. Specializing in ceremonial grade matcha, tea grown on their own plantation in Taiwan, and avocado and durian smoothies, Citeadrinks currently operates two other LA area locations, in Rowland Heights and San Gabriel. They are planning on an August grand opening.
About two years ago, Sip Matcha, Boba & Tea opened at 10967 Weyburn Ave. in Westwood. Recently, they closed for renovations. They have reopened as Junbi Matcha & Tea. The management, ownership, and menu haven’t changed, so why the new name? Apparently, because of Sip‘s popularity, they have been receiving “expansion requests” from international and domestic cities. They were unable to trademark Sip, and were therefore forced to rebrand as Junbi, which means “preparation” in Japanese.
