Best Bubble Tea!

The best bubble tea i've found in Hong Kong comes from the Taiwanese cafe at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island. The first time i went there i had the tea hot, and this time cold. Both temperatures were a joyful experience.

This is a small tea plantation near the Po Lin monastery. This is not where the tea i drank comes from, but thought i'd put in the photo anyway, for confusion if nothing else.


Here is the cafe man making bubble tea. The difference with this bubble tea compared to others is that they shake it up, like you do with a cocktail, instead of just adding all the ingredients together like at other places. Also, the quality of the pearls is really good, you can see them in the front of the photo.


Hooray!


As you can see a bit from this photo, the shaking method gives the tea a frothy top. Delicious.
