Making Bubble Tea Where It Started in Taiwan

[@EileenAldis]

Which bubble tea would YOU order: pearl milk tea or brown sugar pearl milk tea? 🧋🇹🇼 If you have another favourite flavour or go to order, let us know!

[@ginafriend1690]

The lesser of sweet for me!

[@EileenAldis]

@@ginafriend1690 And you can decide how sweet you want it or get no sugar at all :)

[@ginafriend1690]

​@@EileenAldis 😉 thanks for letting me know!

[@Carbuncle0168]

​@@EileenAldisoh I love China's Taiwan bubble tea 🇨🇳👍🏻

[@ewaannah9287]

OMG which one I need to choose… I want stereo bubble tea - explanation, pearl milk tea to right hand and brown sugar pearl milk tea to left hand - tada, stereo tea lol

[@lifeintaiwan]

Waaaaaaa bubble tea 🧋 ❤

[@EileenAldis]

It's the best! And now I appreciate very sip even more! 💕I'm curious what your go to bubble tea order is? Mine is a brown sugar pearl milk tea 😋

[@michelles9897]

Can't wait to watch. Best smiles ever! Thank you for sharing your travels.

[@EileenAldis]

aww thank you! 🥰 We had a lot of fun on this little pilgrimage to the place where bubble tea started. Hope you enjoy! Would love to know if you have a favourite kind of bubble tea :)

[@RottenRonnies]

Oh my goodness, what an amazing experience. That looked like so much fun. So happy you kids got to experience this and get a certificate to treasure. Loved the video. ❤

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! This was a lot of fun. As bubble tea lovers, it was really cool to be able to visit the place where it all started and learn more about the history and background. 💕

[@ginafriend1690]

I call that "shaker" a shot glass 😅 Bubble Tea is obviously your favorite, I know! ❤ No I've never had it. I'm sure is good, if not too sweet (for me). Marc looks all shook up 😂 I love all the tea kettles adorned on the wall! That's a nice place. Eileen, your Shake Shake Shake reminded me of a good song on the dance floor, in the 70's 😊!! I know you were in your height of glory. Congrats on your "degrees" 😂 Cheers!❤

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Gina! Glad you liked the shake shake shake 😆 If you give bubble tea I try let me know what you think. Or take a photo and tag me on Instagram so I can see! Getting a certificate was an unexpected bonus after doing this bubble tea-making class. It's so cute and makes for a delightful souvenir from Taiwan. ☺️

[@anlerden4851]

I love Bubble Tea so much Dear Eileen.🥰😍😍🤗

[@EileenAldis]

Me too! What's your favourite? My top pick is a brown sugar milk tea with pearls...but I just love it in general! 🥰

[@PollyIsADog]

I love the brown sugar pearl milk tea! I need to go get one after watching this. What a cool experience! Love the video

[@EileenAldis]

haha I have the same reaction to seeing bubble tea 😂

[@angelafoss3194]

Awesome as always! I'm so glad to see that you twoo are still having lots of fun! ❤ Angie

[@EileenAldis]

Good morning, Angie! 👋 We're always so happy to see your lovely comments! This bubble tea excursion was a very sweet curtain to look behind, especially as lovers of this Taiwanese beverage. Hope you have a wonderful weekend ❤️

[@warrenandyiching]

Great video. Thanks for sharing not only the process, but also the history of this wonderful drink!

[@EileenAldis]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun, as I'm sure you can tell. :)

[@Michael_Sheldon]

What beautiful tea shops! I learned so much from this, which is great since I too love bubble tea. However, I’m coveting your tiny whisk and must get one immediately. Thanks for the fun video. 🙌🇹🇼

[@EileenAldis]

I'm so glad to hear that! Yes, the shops really are lovely. The original shop is the one at the end and the one at the beginning (where we do the course) is a newer, multi-level space that also has a restaurant. And the Chun Shui Tang brand has expanded beyond Taiwan now as well. I hope you will also find the joy that is using a tiny whisk! 🤓

[@林佩珈-n9i]

i'm a Taiwanses, and i'm so happy you came to Taiwan shooting these amazing videos. loved the video~

[@EileenAldis]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We love Taiwan and we've made lots of videos about it (more to come!). Which part of Taiwan are you from?

[@林佩珈-n9i]

I'm from Yunlin, located in the middle of Taiwan.It's a quiet and few people countryside. So glad to hear that you love Taiwan. I can't wait to watch more videos you made. 😍😍

[@EileenAldis]

@@林佩珈-n9i Sounds lovely! We have not been there before. Here is the link to our other Taiwan videos - I really hope you'll enjoy them. I love reading comments and would love to hear what you think: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist :)

[@MarcelloRaphael]

Great video. I love bubble tea and it was amazing learning a bit more about its history. Thank you guys ♥️

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you, Marcello! ❤️ It was special to visit the first tea shop where it all began. It's pretty incredible how far bubble tea has spread around the world and how many people know and love it now. Taiwan's best export. 😉🧋

[@markmccurdy8001]

…Never realized that Taiwan was where BUBBLE TEA comes from….! It was interesting to see how intricate the process was when seen step by step….. My personal fave is Lychee Fruit Tea….Yummmm!

[@EileenAldis]

I think a lot of people don't realize it was invented in Taiwan! Interesting it had some Japanese influence as well. The process of how to make bubble tea is indeed very interesting and I know I'll appreciate it even more now. You have to be so precise with the measurements to get it right every time. Mmm lychee is a great flavour! Good pick 😋🧋

[@alejandrojesus4073]

Hola Eileen Aldis, muy interesante vídeo... La Preparación meticulosa del té de burbujas wow!!...saludos desde Villahermosa Tabasco México..

[@EileenAldis]

¡Hola a ti en el hermoso México! ¡Me alegra ver tu bonito comentario! Sí, es muy interesante ver detrás de escena la preparación precisa del té de burbujas. Aprecio más conocer la historia también. ¡Espero que estés disfrutando de nuestros nuevos vídeos! :)

[@nancyjohnson9247]

I'm a convert! You make everything so interesting and in this case deliicious.

[@EileenAldis]

haha well thank you 😉 It's easy when your subject is bubble tea ❤️

[@ewaannah9287]

O wow, I absolutny love bubble tea 🧋, any kind, especially when I can pop them in my mouth- heaven for teeth lol. This is great you made your own bubble 🫧 tea mmmm soooo good 💕💕💕

[@EileenAldis]

Me too! I love the tapioca pearls but not if they're too hard. Gotta be juuuuust right, like Goldilocks. ;)

[@toobydude41]

SO interesting!! Congrats on your certificate! Nope never had bubble tea ..I'd certainly give it a whirl. I might start with the brown sugar tea. Then for the other! lol You sure got a good workout too while shaking it up! hehe so awesome guys

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Scott! If you give bubble tea a try I'd love to hear what you think. They aren't all the same quality so hopefully you'd have good luck with your first experience! The brown sugar one is a good one to start with, I'd say. I usually get at least half sweet or less too as it can be quiiiite sweet otherwise. But, hey, sometimes that's ok too haha. And, yes, there's certainly a lot of shaking involved to get that foam on top. Definitely appreciate it more now :)

[@catherinemann3378]

My favorite tea is from Himalayas, imported by Davidson's Organics ....decaf English Breakfast loose leaf. Used to drink before Covid affected availability. So good for you ☕hot or room temp left in cast iron kettle 🐧 Love idea of bubble milk tea 🎂Fun video , love tea & food culture

[@EileenAldis]

Hi! Glad you liked this bubble tea video :) Your favourite tea sounds delightful! Sorry to hear Covid affected its availability though. I also like to brew tea and have it hot or cold. Lately I'm loving Throat Coat tea. Do you know that one? I like it hot and it's nice and soothing on the throat.

[@catherinemann3378]

Never heard of that use of slippery elm...just watched Garden Answer utube channel chop elms that were kind of sick to their high desert area. Neat to see maybe why tried there in first place. Read webmd and said best take other medicines an hour before slippery elm as bark helps coat throat. Increases mucus ...like what clownfish 🌅 use to live in sea anemone. Can see why nice against colds. 🍯🍵🐝

[@TheECSH]

thank you for often promoting the uniqueness of Taiwan over the years! How many times have you visited Taiwan?

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for your lovely comment! We've been to Taiwan three times and have indeed made a lot of videos there. ❤️ Here are all the videos we've made so far: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist :) We're actually working on new Taiwan videos we'll be releasing coming up so watch this space...! Are you from Taiwan?

[@TheECSH]

@@EileenAldis Looking forward to your future contents! I watched a lot of your videos when preparing for my trips or just pure enjoyment. I spent my childhood in Taiwan but have spent more years of my life living in the US and Germany now.

[@EileenAldis]

@@TheECSH That's wonderful to hear! 🥰 I lived in Germany for a time as well so we have that in common. We're looking forward to creating new Taiwan videos. Now I'm craving dumplings and bubble tea... 😊

LOOKS DELICIOUS -HOPE I GET A CHNCE TO TASTE IT SOME TIME.

[@EileenAldis]

That'd be fun! Hopefully you'd enjoy it! There are many different flavours and you can enjoy with or without the tapioca pearls. Thanks for commenting :)

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

❤love❤ When are you opening your own shop 😜 I need some now I think I have some to make at home somewhere in a cupboard 😊 … Tapioca pearls are so addictive ❤Taiwan ❤is really somewhere I want to visit 😘😘 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@EileenAldis]

Merci! 🥰 If you make some at home let me know how it turns out! The food and drink in Taiwan is outstanding. Opening our own bubble tea shop? Hmm....now that you mention it... 😉

[@chrissymason9370]

Yum! I've only tried bubble tea once or twice but its been yesrs! I now MUST try again as u both made them look so YUMMY! What would u recommend? Also ❤ the history of where n when it was made 😊 xo

[@EileenAldis]

Awesome! I'm glad you loved hearing about the background and history too! I loved learning about it, especially since it's now known around the world. I'd recommend trying a brown sugar milk tea with pearls (and avoid any cream or 'crema' if they offer to put it on top). That one is a classic treat. I usually get it half sweet. Let me know what you think! 😘

[@chrissymason9370]

@EileenAldis ok 👍 I'm jotting this down lol 😆 & thx 4 your recommendation & yes, I will definitely let u know my experience 😉 😘 🤞

[@EileenAldis]

@@chrissymason9370 yay! And I should've said you may want to go for the "normal" sugar version the first time and then adjust the sweetness to your taste after that. Hope you love it! 💕🧋
