Low quality tea with artificial fruit flavors that was blended from powder form. And people are paying $4-5 bucks for these? Can't even taste the tea. Might as well just get a bottle of Calpico.

I think they can be made better into like gourmet quality drinks.

there are places that use real tea and milk, but yeah, since bubble tea popularity shot up there's been lots of shitty offerings. All of the added flavorings are garbage anyway, except for >>14161051

I like the original milk tea, sometimes mango slush. I recently tried any fruit combo with tiny pieces of jelly to be a lot more enjoyable than chewing on those tapioca balls

I went to a fancy bubble tea place once and I ordered it with these little rolled oat balls instead of the tapioca balls and it was fucking delicious
It was some place by Union Square in NYC that caters to all of the asian NYU students around there so I guess the quality was pretty decent

Too sweet for regular consumption but has a place in Thai restaurants as a safety valve for when you ask for something hotter than you can handle.

It's an oriental psyop. Think about it - you're slurping black balls from a large-diameter straw done up in fag pride colors. Nice try ching chong, I'm not falling for your tricks.

If you're a weeb just get sweet milk tea, there's a place near me that has a nice rosehip tea. I get it with only a little sugar and no (((bubbles))).

I used to get a flavor called "pineapple sushine". It was a white tea with pineapple chutney and boba pealrs at the bottom. It was pretty good, but then they replaced the pineapple chutney with just chunks of pineapple and the texture was off. But more classic milk tea flavors are also good.
People don't understand that it's a dessert, like a milkshake. And that you're supposed to chew the bubbles, like they're candy.

I used to get it frequently before lockdowns. I ended up craving it so much that I bout a 3 lb bag of taro mix and some coconut syrup and just make my own now every morning. I never liked the actual boba though so I skip that part.
