Today, I compared my small card which I use to cross out the drinks I already had at 50 Lan with the menu card lying out at the store and came to the conclusion that they differ from each other. However, I did not really figure out in which way exactly. So, I was quite confused today and just ordered something of which I didn't know the characters. I know it was milk tea, but I couldn't figure out the topping. That was until I got it. It turned out to be Boba Milk tea. On that way, I learnt that pearl tea has small tapioca starch pearls whereas boba tea has big tapioca starch pearls. But when I ordered bubble tea the last time they put big bubbles in my drinks after asking whether I'd like small or big bubbles. It was kind of upsetting having stepped back a bit on my project due to my language problems. So, I had the amazing motivation of translating the whole menu in the evening. For 3 hours! However, I now understood the structure of it and know that basicaly, there are three ways to get a black milk tea. First, milk tea, second black tea latte und third, black tea macchiato. They all end up being tea with milk, but milk tea usually uses powder while latte uses real milk and macchiato is simply foamed milk. And I found out why some of the drinks I pointed on were not possible to get sugar free. These are honey green tea and caramel milk tea. Of course, there is sugar in them. It is really fascinating how a whole new world opens up after investing so much effort.
Regarding the tea, I can only repeat, what I wrote for my first bubble tea: I love sugar free milk tea with sweet big bubbles. That is the ultimate original.
