#1

BASIC HISTORY AND TEA STORY

our instructor told us simple history about bubble tea and also about black tea that they use for their products. They said they infused tea for long time so you can really taste strong flavor tea compared to other brand tea.

 

 

#2

MAKING BLACK TEA

We used 70ml black tea, 20cc self produce sugar ( they used pandan leaf inside it so you can really can smell different fragrance inside it), and ice. shake it and DONE original ice black tea, even it super standard but it definitely the best I've ever had!

 

 #3

GET INTO BUBBLE

compared to other brand, their bubble is super soft and chewy. They make it freshly every 2 hours DAMN. and also when you touch the raw bubble it totally not hard as the other it easily get broke because it contain more water compared to other.

 

 

#4

MAKING PEARL MILKTEA

and for 2nd drink, we made pearl milktea, 70ml black tea ( but it is different with before because it is thicker and stronger since it will be mix with cream powder), 20cc sugar, 1 fullspoon of cream milk powder, and shake it! Pour the milk tea inside the glass lil by little and mix the bubble so it doesn't stuck on the bottom of the glass. and again THE BEST PEARL MILKTEA I'VE EVER TRIED DAMN!!!!

 And in the end of the class, the instructor gave us certificate and mini shaker for us OMG everything just overwhelmed me! love love as this the best experience I've ever had in a trip HAHA I even bought their bubble tea again in Taipei and last one at Taoyuan airport terminal 2 foodcourt before leaving Taiwan, even their milktea price is 3 times more expensive than regular milktea but trust me price has quality!
