Tea Review: Peach Oolong Tea with Aloe Vera & Jelly Popping Boba

Tea Review
Name: Peach Oolong Tea with Aloe Vera & Jelly Popping Boba
Brand: O's Bubble
Type: prepared oolong tea with sugar, peach juice, aloe vera jelly, and popping boba
Canned

Notes:
Between this can and the one I had already reviewed, I had assumed I would prefer this one better because of the peach oolong flavor, but I was wrong. The flavor was just boring and not quite right. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I did immediately put it in a glass this time to get it mixed right away. The aloe jelly was more broken up, which made it feel pulpy. The popping boba was also different. I do not know if this was just luck of the draw or because this one was in the fridge longer, but the boba had a hard time popping and the boba didn't just kind of immediately dissolve like the last one. Before the popping boba was a fun, novel sensation. This time it took effort and felt like I had peeled pieces of skin in my mouth, a much less pleasant experience.

Eugh. :( I found out very quickly, with the one raspberry I've tried so far, that things plopping or popping in my tea are not for me. I hope you have better luck with your next one!

Thanks. As a general rule of thumb, I do not recommend prepared boba teas from the store. Getting them from an actual boba shop/tea shop is such a completely different experience. With it's current popularity though, the discount grocery has gotten a ton of them lately (instant, canned, & frozen), and my curiosity has won out, so I will be trying them all.

Popping boba is not for me, either. I shall stick to the flavored tapioca balls XD
