With the spring season coming soon, I decided to get boba at Yi Fang since they have many fruit drinks. Although I’ve been there many times, I wanted to try something new off their large menu. I walked into the small and cozy building and was amazed with the aesthetic design.
I looked over at the nicely organized menu with a wide variety of seasonal drinks that were mostly cold and fruity, fit for the spring season.
However, the drink that caught my eye was their mango pomelo sago. It showed the sago at the bottom, a small layer of pomelo pieces, and a mango smoothie filling the rest of the cup. I decided to order that with boba and their recommendation of 50 percent sweetness with the help of their very kind staff.

My drink quickly came out, being shaken to mix all the ingredients. In the pale yellow color, I could see the sago and boba throughout the cup. The cup was chilly to the touch and the perfect size for a nice after school treat.
As I took my first sip, the mango flavor was very refreshing and tasted like a regular mango milkshake. It was cool to feel the different sizes of the sago and boba.
The drink itself was not sour from the pomelo, but there were pieces of pulp that gave a nice balance to the drink once bitten into. It was a very flavorful cup of sweet and sour along with the sago and boba pearls.
I would definitely recommend this drink for those who enjoy fruit teas, but I would customize the sweetness to 75 percent rather than their recommended 50 to make the drink a little more sweet. I would visit Yi Fang more often to try more of the fruit teas they offer.
