- I'm gonna feel the size of that boba ball in my mouth.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- People know me as the crazy boba girl,
so I was gifted this beautiful suck my balls boba shirt.
- I love boba, but I don't love boba,
if that makes sense? - What?
- People say like,
"Oh I have to go for my daily Starbucks run."
I'm like, "No, I need my daily boba run."
Right?
- I'm not someone who's super, super into chewing my drinks.
But maybe my mind will change today.
- I love boba.
My go to flavor though, is the classic.
I like the milk tea boba.
- I really love the fresh tastes of it,
mixed with the sweetness, the milkiness.
If you get the right consistency of balls,
then it's delicious.
- Bring on the first boba!
- [Lauren] It's a classic milk tea.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
(upbeat music)
- I feel like the flavors go together.
It's just a little bit more on the sweet side.
- You can taste the tea.
- The balls, they're like a bit gloopy
right on the outside, right?
They're not super firm.
The inside's a little bit firm,
but the outside's kind of gloopier maybe
than I would usually really enjoy.
- I would say this is pretty good.
It kind of tastes like BonCha a little bit?
- A little bit. - Right?
- I love the creaminess with the milk in there.
It's got a nice rounded flavor to it.
- They really got slimy with the outside.
- If I was really craving boba and this was by my house,
I would probably stop by and be like, "Okay, cool."
- Boba Time!
I mean, okay, already looking at it--
- Does it look a little rock harder?
- These, no they look softer.
- [Both] Cheers!
- Bam.
- The tea actually tastes a little bit
chocolatey and creamy.
- This is definitely more of a creamy, milkier tea for sure.
- It tastes a little like honey.
- Maybe it's sweeter than the other one as well.
- It's sweeter than the other one
in not a good way.
- I will agree with you in the sense
that the boba does have a nice texture,
but the tea is so off.
- The boba's also much smaller.
- The boba's smaller,
it's more subtle. - In the Boba Time.
- I think a little less chewy too.
(banging)
- What happens is that it gets stuck in the straw.
And then you have to suck really hard,
and then it all comes out at once.
- This boba and tea that would get divorced.
Oh it's Gong Cha!
- [Both] Yas!
- She's fancy.
- I know.
- Okay, she's also much lighter.
- Yes.
- This will be the most milky, I'm assuming.
- So Gong Cha is what I know as like
the best chain to be drinking from in Los Angeles right now.
(upbeat music)
- Of the three so far, this is definitely the strongest.
- Good quality tea leaves,
good quality milk, great boba.
Happy girl.
- It's such a subtle tea flavor.
How do you feel about the boba?
This boba is much more chewy, I think.
- They're not too big, and they have that chewiness,
almost like an al dente sort of pasta situation.
(dramatic music)
- Round one!
- Let's get it on.
Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
- I taste the tea.
- This is definitely Mr. Boba.
- Oh no, maybe I was wrong.
- I think that this is Boba Time.
- Boba Time.
- I'm gonna say that this is Mr. Boba.
- Yeah it is, it is.
- 'Cause the tea's there. - I can taste the tea.
- It's strong. - The tea aftertaste is there.
- That's why I'm thinking it's Mr. Boba.
- It's Boba Time.
You're wrong, I'm sorry my friend.
- I'm gonna feel the size of that boba ball in my mouth.
(laughing)
- I'm pretty sure, I know this is Boba Time.
- I think you might be right,
but I'm gonna have to go with Mr. Boba.
- This is Boba Time.
- I think this one is Boba Time.
- It can't be Gong Cha.
- No, no, no. - That would be crazy.
- I can tell that this tea doesn't have
that chocolatey taste that you were talking about earlier
about Boba Time, so this one has to be Mr. Boba.
- Boba Time had much smaller balls.
- These ones are bigger.
Okay, I'm gonna say this is Mr. Boba, I take it back.
I say the other one was Boba Time, okay.
- I think this is Mr. Boba.
- Mr. Boba?
- I think so, just because the boba,
I'm remember the boba being clumpier.
I'm gonna go with Mr. Boba.
- This is Boba Time.
First one we had was Mr. Boba.
- I based it on the balls.
- I'm gonna guess that this is the Gong Cha.
- Gong Cha.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna go with Gong Cha.
I'm gonna go Gong Cha.
- I'm gonna second that, yep.
I think so.
- Oh this is Gong Cha, it's definitely.
- Yep.
- I am the queen!
- Oh, dang girl!
- I thought I knew what I was talking about.
- It's a holistic experience
because I really do pay attention to the boba balls.
- Oh did I do it?
- [Woman] Yeah--
- Yeah! (groaning)
- I feel so validated.
- Still on the throne.
- I would like to thank my mom.
- Maybe I should have switched my game plan here,
and gone more the boba route than the tea route,
but that's just 'cause what I know is tea.
- It's so interesting to see how much harder it is
to tell the difference as soon as you're only relying
on your sense of taste.
- I would say it takes a few times
to get used to eating the tapioca ball.
A lot of people don't like it first time they try it,
but I would say it really grows on people.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- So good!
