Osmanthus Oolong Tea (水仙桂花) – Chi Cha San Chen

This was a yesterday drink, because I’m pretty behind on posting drinks when I’m drinking them. There’s no breaks on vacation…I actually didn’t have boba today, so here we are.

Anyway, we spent the day in Taichung yesterday, and one of my bucket list items was to go to the Taiwan store of Chi Cha San Chen, that one bougie place. Even though it’s from Taiwan, there’s only one actual store, and it’s in Taichung. Thus we went at 10am to go when they opened, and there were people earlier than us!

All of their teas have won an award, but I had already tried the green tea, so I went for the Osmanthus Oolong. I added cream to make it a milk tea (there was an option for milk, but the lady said cream is better for milk tea), and added boba!

The drink came hot on the bottom with fresh boba. The tea itself was pretty good, but the cream making it a milk tea might have ruined it, as the flavor was mellowed out a bit. I could still get the aroma, but taste was a bit on the weak side. Boba was very good.
