I have been a big fan of this delicious drink for a long-long time, when I first sampled it in University (I'm not going to say exactly when that was, I don't want to date myself!) I will say, I didn't go to University here but in Kingston, so it had even come to smaller towns as of then. For me it was an acquired experience. Initially it's kind of odd to have tapioca balls (i.e. the bubbles) or anything else that can be added i.e. jelly chunks etc. to a drink! But once you get past that and discover how tasty it is, it opens up a whole new world of beverages to experience.
For me, there are some staples I always seem to get because you can never go wrong, and I've tried a lot of flavours, please note, I always opt for the bubbles to be added to any of these choices. Though if you are less daring and just want a drink without anything more solid in it, if the textures freaks you out, then you can get these sans bubbles. For those new to this, you are given a large, wide straw to drink up the tapioca (in case you were wondering how it all works!!!):
1. On a super hot day (like today) I will get the slush option, my favorite hands down is blueberry.
2. Milk black tea with almond or coconut flavouring.
3. Milk green tea with honeydew or green apple.
4. A milk slush in red bean or taro or coffee.
Apparently new flavours are often coming out too, like recently lavender and champagne, haven't tried these yet myself. Most of the time the fruit and flavourings taste very natural. Some places make them with more natural syrups versus powders and artifical flavouring-which of course, I'd opt for if you can.
I say try it if you haven't already...it will be well worth it, event just to say you have!!!!
