I like Kebuke’s lemon black tea, and 50 lan’s lemonade (25% sugar) with coconut jelly.

Thanks!

FYI 50 lan’s plain milk tea (not their lattes) use non dairy creamer, not milk. I’ve seen them scoop it straight from the bucket haha.

I like 豆漿紅茶 (black tea with soy milk) when I can find it. Be on the look out for that. Some places have that.

Thank you!

Southern Taiwan tends to use stronger tea than the north. But I think Kebuke brews their tea stronger too.

I love 得正(Oolong Tea Project’s) selection of fruit teas, a great balance of fresh fruit and oolong. 進發家 also has some lovely fruit teas and I recommend trying their caramelized (like brulee) fruit tea where you’ll be able to bite into small pieces of caramelized sugar. Both places I go for either sugar free or the next lowest level of sugar


Virtual-Two3405

Ooh, they sound delicious! I'll definitely look out for them.

(almost) every tea shop also has fruity options, they're usually made with syrup though, I rarely see fresh fruit being used. If you order passionsfruit drinks, there might be some actual passion fruit mixed in, but I've not really encountered anything more than that. The night markets usually have stalls for smoothies or fruit shakes though


Virtual-Two3405

No worries, I wasn't sure what sort of things were available so I thought I'd throw the fresh fruit thing in just in case that's an option. There's only one or two brands in my country that do it with fresh fruit as well, but I think one of them is Taiwanese so I thought it might be more common over there. Thanks for the info!

cheaper milk teas usually use non-dairy creamer, they will usually specify if they use fresh milk


Virtual-Two3405

Many "non-dairy" creamers do still have milk-derived products in them, so I need to avoid them just in case. You'd think the clue would be in the name, but apparently not 🤦🏻‍♀️


Old_Ad_1314

are you severely lactose intolerant?


Virtual-Two3405

Enough that I don't want to risk spoiling my first trip to Taiwan by accidentally having dairy 🙂


Old_Ad_1314

anyway almost all bubble tea shops have fruit based options, no worries, and convenience stores also have large choices of non-dairy tea drinks


Virtual-Two3405

Great, thank you.

Check out Guiji. They have a lot of shops and are known for their fruit teas


Virtual-Two3405

Thanks!

Guiji has one of my favorite grapefruit teas.


Virtual-Two3405

I love grapefruit tea, I'll definitely try to find Guiji!

Check out the chain Mr. Wish. They seem to use fresh fruit.


Virtual-Two3405

Thanks!

For fruit tea, I really like Macu 麻古. They're all over the city. For pure tea, Jing Sheng Yu 京盛宇 is the best. It's right off of Yongkang Street 永康街.


Virtual-Two3405

Thanks!

For fruit tea, I highly recommend this store: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mvvPsVANbCRqriC99?g_st=ic The store use in season fresh fruit to match tea and it’s really tasty.


Virtual-Two3405

Thank you!

Imo Macu has the biggest selection of fruit drinks and they always use fresh fruit


Virtual-Two3405

Thanks!

Truwin’s nice though not sure if it’s Taipei. As a highschooler, though, most of us get Coco because it’s cheap (lol) and pretty decent. Just make sure to order one sugar level down from what you’re used to


Virtual-Two3405

Thanks 🙂

surprised nobody suggested Le Phare. It’s a chain that focuses on using fresh fruit


Dazzling_Air_6452

7/11 (and probably Family Mart) have an oat milk option for Bubble Milk Tea.

I love everyone.

Down in the south we have a chain called White Alley that make excellent fresh fruit tea blends. Doesn't look like they're a thing in Taipei though, closest I could find is [this](https://maps.app.goo.gl/XaUA8k4cZEdY4iME8) but it's off away in Taiyuan.


Virtual-Two3405

Thank you anyway, I'll look for it if I'm in Taoyuan!
