📝 Website vs. Menu: Two Different “Best Seller” Lists?

Interestingly, according to the official Gong Cha USA Best Sellers page
🌐 gong-cha-usa.com/menu/drinks/best-sellers
the listed top drinks are:

🧋 Website-Listed Best Sellers (USA/CA):

• Brown Sugar Milk Tea

• Mango Smoothie

• Pearl Milk Tea

• Thai Iced Tea

• QQ Passionfruit Green Tea

• Milk Foam Milk Coffee

💡 However: This list hasn’t changed in a while — likely reflecting legacy bestsellers. In contrast, menu board data from late 2025 shows newer drink trends gaining traction, like Strawberry Milk Tea and Oreo Coffee Milk Tea.

🧋 North America Tea Trends: What Stands Out?

• USA leans toward indulgent and fun drinks: Strawberry, Brown Sugar, and Slushes.

• Canada shows a strong trend in wintermelon, oolong milk teas, and texture-focused combos like 3J and 2J.

• Milk Foam Series continues to be a signature in both markets.

• Fruit tea options are more diverse in Canada (peach, QQ blends) while the U.S. sees more dessert-style drinks.

📝 Final Thoughts

Whether you're a classic Pearl Milk Tea loyalist or into texture-packed combos like the 3J Earl Grey, there’s no shortage of great options across both countries.

First time ordering? Start with the Milk Foam Green Tea or Brown Sugar Milk Tea — they’re favorites for a reason. And if you’re feeling adventurous, go full “3J” and get all the toppings in one cup.

Regular Customer? It's time to be a bit more adventurous and discover other flavors other than the one you are holding right now :)
