She was so… Continue reading Charcoal Roasted TieGuanYin Latte (炭焙鐵觀音鮮奶拿鐵) – Rose House / TaoTao Tea
My grandma and I went to Ding Tai Fung at Taipei 101 this morning. Aside from an amazing lunch, apparently the main reason she wanted to go to that location was because she wanted me to try a boba place over there. After eating and doing some snack shopping and waiting at the stop for… Continue reading Chilai Oolong Tea Latte (琥珀烏龍拿鐵) – Truedan

Ah, Dayung's. It was really more of a recent local find during my last year of college, but honestly it was a bit of a hidden gem (personally, anyway). The menu was pretty varied and large, the drinks were good quality, and the boba was quality too. It became one of my roomies' go-to spots,… Continue reading Taiwan Fruit Teas – Dayung’s Tea

Across the… Continue reading Wintermelon Tea Latte – Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea
