Tea sensation

A craze that started in Taichung, Taiwan, in the 1980's and has now taken Saarbrücken by storm: bubble tea. This is the biggest hit with the teenagers in town. I have never seen a queue less than 20 long at the shop in the photo. All the teas there are from the Zenique brand and come from the Nantou highlands of Taiwan. The green tea espresso with osmanthus flowers tasted especially fine - sans bubbles.

    Avec ces jours d'automne un peu plus frais, vous nous donnez envie d'un bon thé bien chaud.
    Belle photo
    Bonne fin de semaine

    as a decaf Earl Grey man myself I find the idea of these revolting - but each to their own I suppose.

    @maia C'est vrai. Et alors en Allemagne on vend du vin chaud pour la même raison.

    @Gerald (Hyde DP) I must say I have not tried the bubble tea yet. But the espresso green tea was great

    @Martina: I hope the craze reaches Mainz soon. Until then, you can always drop by Saarbrücken. This place is in the passage underneath Karstadt.

    @arabesque: They serve hot teas too. I am not sure you can get bubbles in them. Has this craze hit Manila yet?
