- Quite sweet.
- I feel terrible for saying it, but-
- I feel like the person who ordered it
maybe forgot to tell you what they wanted.
- I want something kind of kooky.
(upbeat music)
- What up, what up, what up, what up?
- Today, we're here to taste the most delicious creation
that was ever brought to this planet.
- Bubble tea orders.
- Mmm.
- Let's go.
So here's how it works.
Basically, we'll all try each other's bubble teas,
give it a score out of 10,
and at the end, the highest score will be deemed the winner
of the best bubble tea order.
(crowd cheering)
- Bubble tea, for me, is like a little treat
that you go and get yourself maybe after dinner.
It's like the replacement of dessert in my opinion.
- So for my order, I go for premium pearl milky tea,
and then on top, it's got a creamy mousse.
The ice, I go for standard, and for sweetness,
I also go for standard 'cause it's gotta be sweet.
Mine is the best because it's like the OG bubble tea.
- Wow.
I can immediately tell this is a classic milk tea
with pearls.
- It looks weird.
- It's not one of those cheese ones, is it?
I don't know if I'm a fan.
- Can I have a straw so I can have the boba?
(tea bubbling)
- Definitely a classic.
Is that a good thing, though?
- It's got this really rich cream on top
that's dissolving into every sip, and it's really yummy.
- Quite sweet.
Oops.
Wow. It's like cheese.
- 'Cause it's so, so sweet,
and because I'm pretty sure this is full-cream milk,
which, like, grow up.
- So for deliciousness, this is obviously a 10.
Would I order it again?
Maybe a five.
So I think I'm going to rate it...
- I'm gonna have to give this one a seven out of 10.
- An 8 out of 10.
It's really good.
It's confusing my taste buds.
- I want something kind of kooky, you know?
- I don't know what's happening, but I like it.
If you weren't around,
I would just drink this whole thing. (laughs)
- I might give...
I think I'm gonna go nine.
I'm gonna go with nine. (crowd cheering)
- So my order specifically is a large matcha latte
with soy milk, no toppings, half ice, and no sugar.
My order's the best, because it's not sickeningly sweet,
so you can really enjoy it any any time of the day
and be satisfied.
- I can already tell what this is.
- Green, the green machine.
- Milky matcha green tea.
- Ooh, it's very dirty.
It is very mucky and soft at the bottom there.
- And you kind of shake it up before you actually dab it
because it's too late to do it after that.
(tea swishing)
- That's a really nice sound.
- There's one thing though I'm not seeing.
Where are the pearls?
Where's the boba?
We need to do a montage of that tick.
- Let's see.
I can't smell anything.
(tea bubbling)
- Yeah. That's a great matcha latte.
Am I right?
Ding! (bell chimes)
- Okay. I love matcha. I really do.
- I'm sorry I just don't like matcha.
- But I'm not rating this one.
Something that's gone wrong with this order.
- Shout-out to Hameda. (laughs)
I know this is your order.
We work together. Surely.
- If it had some toppings in there, like to suck on
or to chew, that could get rid of that taste of matcha.
- There's no pearls. There's no sweetness.
- If I'm going to chow time,
I need something
that's gonna wow my taste buds a little bit more,
but I really like it.
- Bubble tea is meant to be sweet.
- I'm not crazy about it.
I like things on the sweeter side,
so I think this is going to get like a-
- I'm gonna score this one a five out of 10.
- It's a six.
- It's gonna a one.
- So my bubble tea order is a passion fruit black tea,
no ice, no sugar, just plain and simple,
with mango popping pearls
that perfectly accompanies the passion fruit.
Yum. Get on it.
- All right. This is what I'm talking about.
This is obviously-
- A fruity tea.
I already know what flavor it is.
Guys, I'm the bubble tea psychic.
- This is made from actual passion fruit extract
'cause you can see the little seeds.
- Is it sparkling?
I can hear the bubbles popping.
- There's some kind of topping in here.
It looks like-
- Mango popping pearls?
- It looks like passion fruit.
- Let's get it in.
- So you can find out like that.
- Stab it.
Interesting. It's got a hint of a peachy flavor.
- It's a passion fruit black tea,
and it does have that really rich, earthy taste.
- I'm already skeptical because there's better flavors.
- This is really good.
- The popping pearls, delicious.
- Whatever the pearls are...
What are the pearls?
- [Producer] Mango.
- Mango.
This is the kind of topping you want with a fruity drink.
Take notes.
- And there's not much sweetness to this drink.
I'm not used to that at all, but maybe that's because
I'm such a serious bubble tea lover.
I just love the sugar in there.
- Look. This is good.
I rate it the mango and passion fruit flavors
from chow time.
- It's just so refreshing.
I can see myself drinking this on a hot summer day.
- Where's the lychee at?
Where's the strawberry at?
Where's the green apple at?
- You know, just sweating it out here in Sydney.
- See, this one, I think,
has to be one of the better ones that I've tried today.
- This is probably my favorite.
- It's good, but the flavors!
Come on.
And I know exactly whose this is.
Thomas Scott. Outrage.
I'm gonna have to give this-
- Eight out of 10. (bell chimes)
- Seven out of 10. (bell chimes)
- A nine out of 10. (bell chimes)
- Okay. Here's why my bubble tea is the best.
Strawberry green tea, no sugar,
'cause the syrup already sweetens it, with pearls.
It's just great.
It's refreshing. It's summer.
If you're down under, that's where it's at.
- Hey, what do we have here?
- Okay. This is a fruity one.
- So just looking at it,
this tea has such cute aesthetics.
- They have bits in here, which I'm kind of worried about.
- I think this might've been out for a while,
so they've actually all come together.
- So maybe it's like a raspberry or like a guava.
- This is the funnest part of getting bubble tea.
- Mmm.
- Lightly fruity. Not too sweet.
- Since I've been here,
I don't think I know anyone who gets tapioca pearls
in a fruity drink.
- Definitely a fruit.
- So to me, this is saying strawberry green tea with pearls.
(bell chimes)
- No. I don't think it works at all. (laughs)
- Yeah. Pretty good, pretty good.
You can't complain with this one.
It's good.
- It just tastes like a teabag, but with no sugar.
- I feel terrible for saying it.
I would definitely never ever do this.
- It's not offensive. It's actually enjoyable.
- Absolutely not. - I think you would order this
if you're being introduced to bubble tea, the concept,
because it's not too intense.
- This has gotta be someone with some wild taste buds.
- I'm gonna give this one a six out of 10.
- I'm gonna go with six. (bell chimes)
- Three out of 10. (laughs) (bell chimes)
I'm sorry.
- [Announcer] So the winner was...
(crowd cheering)
- Fair enough.
I wasn't expecting to win.
I was just here for the participation award.
- Do you think your orders
are better than what we got today?
- Let us know down below.
- [Producer] That rhymes.
- Oh, it smells really creamy?
- It's like eating a leaf.
Hmm. No, that's enough.
