Jasmine Tea (茉莉綠茶) – 50嵐

Today’s our Shifen and Jiufen day in Taiwan! We had to transfer from the train to a bus on the way from Shifen to Jiufen, and in the meantime, we were parched and made a pit stop for a drink. 50Lan was nearby, so we just chose it on the way to the bus stop.

I’m usually a milk tea girl through and through, but it was hot and I was thirsty, so I wanted something not heavy and refreshing. The Jasmine was the first thing on the menu, and it sounded good, so I just went for that for the nice flavor. I added boba, because I need boba.

It was very nice! Very refreshing, and the tea and jasmine flavor were both very strong. Maybe a hit too strong, because I did less sugar, and the tea came out a bit bitter in most of the aftertaste. Boba was really good though, and I asked for “Pearl”, and the lady asked me if I wanted the small or big one. I’m assuming the small one are baby pearls, and I prefer the bigger boba, so I got the big one.
