KQTEA's Pearl Milk Tea was satisfying! My favorite part was the generous serving of boba.

The Pineapple Pouchang Tea from Presotea was the bomb! I was pleasantly surprised by the mouthful of pineapple bits that filled my mouth at every slurp.

At 11 PM, CoCo was the only milk tea joint left open to satiate my late night craving. Their giant Pearl Milk Tea was the perfect night cap.

Chun Shui Tang - where it all started. The humble tea house now has branches all over Taipei! I visited their (packed) restaurant in Xinyi District's Shin Kong Mitsokoshi to taste their famous original bubble tea.

Said to have inspired Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Spirited Away, A-Mei Teahouse grants you a marvelous view of the ocean over a pairing of milk tea and cheesecake.

To my surprise, one of my favorite milk tea drinks came from the 7-Eleven beside our hotel! The cashier places a pack of frozen boba into a cup of hot water, waits a few minutes, then crafts my drink just like the legitimate tea shops do! You can choose to have your bubble tea served hot, too.
