The team was invited by the store to try a drink.

The main reviewer of this time was "Drinking a hand-selected sugar ice-cream milk tea for more than ten years in China, disregarding the American sweet dead and tea tea milk"Little pigJun, and taste all kinds of milk tea in the streets of Los AngelesJianghu spicy little woman(Hereinafter referred to as "Spicy Little Girl").

Taro Red Bean Milk Tea
The color of milk tea is pure taro purple, and it has the sticky taro juice feeling, and it is made by mixing fresh taro. You can choose to drink red beans after drinking the upper taro milk tea, or stir the taro milk tea with red beans-the taste of red beans may overpower the taro taste.

Spicy little girl: Come with a cup of taro red bean milk tea in the afternoon tea time.
Shenzhu Xiaodou: Taro and red bean milk tea are super solid. A large amount of taro and red beans are whipped. The two materials are fused but they can be tasted independently. The flavor is rich and full.

Signature Jelly Roasted Milk Tea
The charcoal roasted tea has a unique aroma, and several people have a special fondness for this tea.

Spicy little girl: It's a special drink in the tea area. Let ’s talk about tea first, although milk tea is served on ice, it still cannot cover the fragrance of tea, much like the taste of Japanese charcoal-fired black tea, with a little roasted, warm aroma, plus fresh milk and frozen grass Not sweet at all and worth a try.
Shenzhu Xiaodou: After brewing with roasted tea and adding celery jelly, the milk taste is lighter, and because the sweetness of celery is reduced, the special aroma of roasted tea is different to give a refreshing taste.

Black Tea Latte

Spicy little girl: Because the density of black tea latte is divided into three layers, if you drink in order, the bottom layer is milk, the middle is black tea, the top layer is milk foam, a mouthful, a mouthful, and a mouthful. Or you can mix them all to drink.
Shenzhu Xiaodou: It is another favorite. Fresh milk is frothed with sugar and placed on the bottom of the cup. Pour unseasoned black tea. Pour a layer of milk froth. There will be obvious layering effect before stirring . The more pleasant surprise is that the sweet taste of fresh milk after frothing with sugar is very mild, and the milk aroma becomes more obvious.

The store's suggestion: you can feel and drink one by one, then stir well before drinking, and taste the three flavors of a cup of tea.

Pearl Milk Tea

Spicy little girl: Speaking of tea, it is brewed with Sun Moon Lake Alpine Tea. Smell it carefully. It is indeed tea leaves with good quality. Pearls are the more chewy type.
Shenzhu Xiaodou: But it does n’t work, the tea and milk taste are more balanced after shaking, and the pearl is a bit more Microsoft (of course, this is a matter of personal preference)

Jasmine Green Tea
A very classic jasmine green tea drink.

Spicy little girl: It tastes very close to the jasmine green tea at 85 degrees c, and there is some fresh tea in the upper layer. Moderate sweetness.
Shenzhu Xiaodou: Jasmine aroma in green tea is slightly faint.

Taiwan Mango QQ
It is made from native mango juice that is really imported from Taiwan, and it can be regarded as an authentic Taiwan drink.

Spicy little girl: The combination of black popa, white coconut fruit, and golden mango juice makes the vision very delicious, recommended in summer!
Shenzhu Xiaodou: The mango taste is not obvious with the concentrated mango solution, but there is still a fellow friend who loves to drink.

Honey Pomelo Juice
A cup of hot grapefruit tea is very suitable in winter. This can be DIY at home. The Korean grapefruit honey sauce is soaked in hot water and added with a spoon of honey. The amount of honey can be adjusted according to your taste.

Shenzhu Xiaodou: honey is too sweet, too hot, sour taste is still better, it is recommended that the amount of honey can be halved.
