what's up y'all hey everyone i think i have a confession to make what is your
confession i think i'm addicted to bubble tea that's your confession i already knew that oh
today we're at the established chanyang tea nyc bubble tea shop
and we'll be showing you all the behind the counter action of how
the magic happens are you ready for your bubble fix i am ready let's go
and we're lucky enough to be touring a bubble tea shop before it's grand opening today
even before it's soft opening let's get this tour started hold on what is bubble tea bubble c is a
taiwanese drink that combines milk tea and tapioca okay wait wait what is tapioca tapioca ensure
our cassava starch ball which is a fruit from south america okay let's go can we go yeah yeah
what is that did you forget already i already told you these are the tapioca balls
these are made from cassava starch which is a root vegetable from south america also referred to as
so yucca been having my vegetable intake by drinking boba sure so these uncooked tapioca balls
they start off hard small about pea size right here just like this and then they are boiled in
water and it becomes black and chewy and bouncy so these are called bubble tea there's actually a lot
of names people refer to this taiwanese drink as bubble tea bubble milk tea pearl milk tea junju
laita which is a mandarin version and just simply boba so we're lucky enough to be witnessing this
new winter drink menu here we have pudding on the bottom and brown sugar syrup on top and here
we have three standard soaps to make the tea and tapioca and they let it cook for a long time and
the tapioca bowls that you were showing earlier they actually have to be cooked for 90 minutes in
the morning and if it's brown sugar boba has to be cooked for two hours so the staff have to come in
two hours before it's opening every morning just to prep that and this is actually the timer they
use everything is very delicate very precise this is the boiler mainly for tea cooking we save more
times if you use hot water here otherwise you need to take a long time to heat up the teeth but the
two sealers and customers actually can choose from using the seal or we can actually give the lid oh
yeah there's two options here so if you go to a bubble tea store always ask for sugar level
right thirty percent fifty percent seventy percent so all drinks a customized trigger level it will
show up from here oh wow so the number actually goes you just press the button yeah one of the
rules for health department each of the stores especially the restaurants will need to have two
food refrigerators that's my law so one is here at the lowboy the other one will be the regular
future okay and this one's for all the fruits yeah this one we put all the foods down there separate
refrigerator yep very cool i always wonder why there's so many we try to have different ships
like early shifts and night shifts to make sure that our staff is energetic happy not too tired
how many bubble tea do you expect to sell a day for chilean probably around 500 to 600 cups per
day wow yeah and then it depends on the weather condition so sometimes it's during the wintertime
snowy day or rainy day it's slow down a little bit but it's good for slowing down to be honest with
you because i i want the people they actually can enjoy the environment in the store right so
we want them to stay longer instead of you know rushing every customers to put all the drinks
that will affect the quality as well so we make sure that our teas and our drinks are
in the best quality sometimes we have the holiday drinks special edition our customer they came here
for just the cup chenin likes to cooperate with some other brands we do collaborations past summer
we actually collaborate with one of the ice cream stores with smooth we have the honey osmandus ice
cream and the ho chi chi ice cream they are pretty those are delicious very delicious there are still
customers coming in as for it even the winter time maybe hopefully next year we come up with
more flavors and work with them what's the process of creativity how did you come up with these drink
ideas oh and actually we have to follow the main company in taiwan also the recipes and everything
we need to follow them authentic taiwanese yes and then all the ingredients actually from taiwan too
there is some delay in the hawaiian city stores because of the shipment yeah we have to really
be careful on our all the ingredients has to be sufficient yeah before we start it up spicy
that's actually a problem with all the drinks or even in starbucks as well what's the best thing
about working in a bubble tea shop fridge race every day wow good response they want to work here
one very important procedure for our staff is every single morning we have to drink our
tea to make sure it's in good quality before we selling the first cup i like that cheers oh cheers
i love passion fruit that's why i like them real fruit flavors
thank you very much thank you thank you ben you asked me so many questions today it's
my turn to ask you a question why do you love bubble tea so much there's a lot of reasons you
know but today i learned another reason is that some of these places actually use real
fresh healthy ingredients so i don't feel about drinking at all at least we're here
hope you guys enjoyed that i actually learned a lot more than i expected to today
yeah it was freaking great it was great meeting all the wonderful staff and just cool seeing
all how they operate day to day we're coming back during this grand opening till next time
