Beth please
Did you already try some of that
She really likes the strawberry one
Okay let's stop for a minute here
and let's judge and see which one
we think is the best out of all of them
They are very very different
but which one
would you go back and drink right now
if you can choose
This one
I would probably choose this one
It's really refreshing and creamy at the same time
This one right
I think I would choose this one
You and me would choose this one
You two would choose this one
And the bubble milk tea is always a classic
Yeah this one is classic too
and this one is new
I think after a while
the more I drink this one
I would like this one too
This is a classic
It's really hard to decide
So but as a family
let's say we can only choose
one store to go to and choose one
Which one do you think
everybody in our family could drink
This one
Strawberry
Probably the fruit one
So I think for a family with a lot of children
if they like fruit
I think this will be our number 1 pick
-Is that right -Yeah
We like fruit
Number 2
This one
You guys like this one here
This is nice because it's not too sweet
So 2
1 2
Now what's next
I like the energy
The energy one here is pretty good too
It's different I think
with the coconut and the black rice
We're not used to chewing on rice
Usually it's like
the traditional Chinese dessert where you have a bowl
Yes
Now it's in a drink
Yes rice in a drink okay
And girls what about these two here
They are both very good
Which one would you choose next for the whole family
This one
-Probably the bubble milk tea -Yeah
Bubble milk tea
Yeah I agree
I think this is classic
A lot of people
this is your fall-back-to
It's your default drink
-Comfort food -Comfort
It's safe right
This is new
I think it's so new
that it will take time for us to get used to it
but I like it as well I love it
These are all very very good
But as you see from our family we like fruit
refreshing
This is amazing here
This one is really really good too
But these ones here
I think this one is safe classic good
and this one is new
I actually really like it too
So if I'm feeling adventurous
this is something I would do
So as you can see
when you go to a Taiwanese tea shop
you have a lot to choose from including
fruit with foam
tea with cheese cream
bubble milk tea
milk tea with wheat germ
and fitness drinks with whey protein
This one is already empty
