    @exmousse Před 8 lety +1

    gong cha doesn't have good tea flavour, but you should try the grass jelly in place of bubbles. it's pretty addictive stuff! if you are ever in Toronto, go to pacific mall into the last aisle where other bbt places are, and in the middle of the aisle right by an emergency exit there is this tiny little shop that makes AMAZING hong kong style milk tea with great bubbles too. highly recommend!!

    @chibip6 Před 8 lety

    Ugh I have two bubble tea places in my city and I'm grateful for that. SO JEALOUS of all the variety you have in NY. It sucks living in the Midwest (Indianapolis). That potted milk tea was pretty (the sprout was cute ☺️). P.S. Dan you're looking extra handsome these days! The longer hair looks nice on you. Yi is a lucky lady 😌.

    • @chaba2o93
      @chaba2o93 Před 7 lety

      High fives, I used to live in Westminster! I've had boba all around the country and I can confidently say that SoCal has some of the best boba in the states. 7Leaves, Tastea, Class 302, and ShareTea are my absolute faves.
      Definitely try TBaar, they have some solid boba that can compete with the boba in SoCal.

    • @xrubyxlightx
      @xrubyxlightx Před 7 lety +1

      Cha duuuuudee i have been missing 7leaves and almondhaus recently and craving class 302 and cha for tea :

    • @chaba2o93
      @chaba2o93 Před 7 lety

      Same here, I'm living in Chicago now and I miss my fave boba so much 😢. I went to check out almond haus one time, the smaller one, but it was so small there was no space to really sit and hang out... lol, good almond milk tea though if I remember correctly. And it was the same for me with Tastea haha, I literally used to go every night after work 😂

  • @GraceLieu
    @GraceLieu Před 5 lety

    in california, my favorite tea house is HALF AND HALF!! It's only in Cali in the 626 area and it's amazinggg! The cup sizes are huge with high-quality ingredients (no powder, syrups, no artificial stuff. only real tea, actual milk, and fresh fruit)!! Some people might find it pricey (about $5 a cup, depending on what size and flavor you get) but I've been to other tea houses with same price but smaller cups and not as tasty as Half and Half. If you're around Cali in the 626 area, GO TRY IT RIGHT NOW!!

    I love how the verbal descriptive rating differs so much from the numbers I would expect based on the judgement :D
    When they say "These bubbles are way too hard for me, I don't like it" they are still giving a 5 or 6 when I would assume it is worth nothing more than a 3 ^^
    Very interesting :)

    @savfromsopn Před 7 lety

    Okay, I know this video is old and so I don't know if anyone will see this comment, but I HAVE to defend Gong Cha. I love Gong Cha because their tea flavor is so clean. BUT you have to order 50% sweet. 70% is their standard if you don't specify, 100% is extra-sweet, but 50% is actually the perfect level. Their earl grey and jasmine are also just amazing. Clean, clear tea flavors. Plus their fruity teas are FANTASTIC. I highly recommend the lemon aiyu.

  • @CSIperea
    @CSIperea Před 5 lety +2

    Bubbles aren't boba, guys.
    It's called bubble tea because of the bubbly froth it makes when being mixed/shaken.
    Bubble tea usually comes with boba, so it's a common mistake.

    @Chellojello Před 8 lety

    Funny thing about the bubbles is that originally it's not referring to the tapioca pearls. It's referring to the way it was originally made, which was shaken up, like a cocktail, where bubbles would form on the top.

    • @bruhbruh112
      @bruhbruh112 Před 8 lety

      I think foreigners called them it all bubble tea because boba was hard to pronounce or maybe bubble sounds more appetizing. That's why I was shocked they kept saying bubble

So as you can see in the video, most place sell, but not as good as in Taiwan of course. I search it up and i don't know if this place is good. But you can go and give it a try. Let me how is it.

    @Racheliw94 Před 8 lety

    Ten Ren's in College Park Maryland is good but the person making it could make or break your bubble tea. Sometimes there are powder chunks which is upsetting. But if you are in CP then Wasabi Bistro is the place to go. Their bubble tea is consistently smooth (probably because a machine does it), it has good bubbles and different flavor bubbles too, also the size is bigger than Ten Ren's for 0.55 more.

    I think you guys should have ordered each drink with no sugar. That way you can actually taste the tea itself and judge the drink on the actual flavor vs how sweet the drink is. As for my go to drink, I like the roasted oolong milk tea from Ten Ren.
