Xinyi District, Taipei City｜Teaman SongShan

Quite possibly the best milk tea I've had so far in Taipei. They use a good ratio of milk to tea so it's creamy and not too watery, but they brew the tea strongly so you don't lose the nice tea flavor as well. Although no one wants a watery milk tea, I'm not a fan of the bubble milk and sugar drink that's become so popular, I like to be able to taste the tea in there as well and feel it's an important part of the flavor combination. The bubbles or pearls are well prepared. I've been to some places that cook them sightly softer and with more of a brown sugar taste and I think I might prefer that better, but this place has pearls that have a nice chew to them and are all very consistent, none were over cooked or undercooked. To compare to pasta, these pearls were just slightly al dente, and that prevents that slimy feeling that overcooking creates. All in all a perfect milk tea and it's so good that not only will I come back for more, but I'll probably even travel the distance to come back here next time rather than just order what's close to me.

Lovely staff. Great tea and awesome sandwiches. Despite so many places that seek tea around this area I kept going back to Tea Man. Highly recommend trying their toasts.

Nice place
