Do you remember the unofficial motto of this blog? It's this: "We review the low-rent teas so you don't have to!" And so it was that even though I knew "bubble tea" from the Ollie's discount store shelf probably wasn't going to be a high-quality drink, curiosity won out, so I plopped down my ninety-nine cents and went home with this single-sipper drink. Strawberry Lemonade Green Tea sounded appealing, so why not?
The instructions said to use the pointy end of the straw to pierce the lid, so I did.
And while I've had worse drinks, I suppose, this one somehow managed to be both sugary and weak, and the "bubbles" were clear bits of gummy something-or-other larger than a pea but smaller than a tapioca pearl. After swallowing a few of the bubbles, I was all bubbled out and didn't care to finish the drink. I like real bubble tea every now and then, but this was a pale imitation that I doubt will make anyone happy. So there you go! Check it out if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you.
Thank you for the warning!
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you for trying that bubble tea so we don't have to! I see that that serving has 28 grams of sugar, which is way too much. If I were going to splurge on something with that much sugar, I would instead want it to taste really good and be very high-quality.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review and for saving me 99cents.
