No. 67 Kiwi Green Tea + Perilla

Today, I went to a new place again. Actually, this place has been recommended to me several times already. However, since it is rather a juice place than a tea place I didn't go there until now. Today, I decided to give it a try. They had a large variety of fresh juices mixed with tea. But I created my own drink with asking them to mix the kiwi juice with green tea. Not only was I surprised that they actually made me that drink without any hesitations, but they added perilla to it as well. And it had real kiwi pieces in there. It was an amazing drink. I should go there more often. Not for creating new drinks, though. That might be quite annoying.

No. 66 Winter Melon Qing Tea (冬瓜清茶)

Winter melon is a fruit I got to know quite early being in Taiwan. This is because several restaurants offer winter melon tea as a free drink to meals. But it is usually really really really sweet. And it is a seasonal thing that Ching Shin offers tea drinks with winter melon. So, I chose one today. They used some kind of winter melon sirup, so it was rather sweet but luckily not as sweet as pure winter melon tea. Since I was really full from my dinner, I couldn't finish that drink and gave it to my dad.

No. 65 Banana Milk Tea (香蕉奶茶)


Today, I had another milk tea. But with banana. So, it is a fruit tea and a milk tea at one time! And it had real banana in it. I loved that drink. It is really filling and really yummy. Since the banana is sweet already no additional sugar is needed.

No. 64 Lover's Tea (情人茶)

Everytime I go to a tea shop I have been to many times before it's getting harder and harder to find a tea I haven't had anywhere else yet. And when I'm not prepared well enough my out of the blue decision might turn out to be nothing new at all. But, I think I was lucky today. I chose the lover's tea. Because of the name. It was one of the things that I could read without really knowing what it is. It turned out to be green tea with a shot of lemon and some dried plum swimming in it. I think I had some similar drink before, but not exactly the same. Since the lemon juice was freshly squeezed and I chose sugar free, it was rather sour, but still fine.
