Blowing the Bubble Tea

Chatime, Sharetea, Gongcha, Ochado, Pasar malam!

Bubble tea shop are popping out like weeds feeding on crack !















In the past, it used to be let's go Starbucks !
Now it's more like let's go Cha Time !


Ever wonder what you are drinking?

Composition:

1) Liquid

- Tea, Artificial Flavoring, Artificial Coloring, Non Dairy Creamer

2) Filling

- Tapioca Pearl, Jelly, Etc

3) Sugar
- White Sugar, Brown Sugar, Honey

For now I would just Empasize on the Liquid part, The rest will come later on

1) Artificial Flavoring 

 

- Artificial Flavoring *Vanilla, Hazelnut, Fruit Based Flavoring

- Click here for more info

All flavors (like the apple you ate) are a combination of molecule.

Natural Vanilla consist of about 100 different molecules, a few of the molecule are the Alpha Male/Dominant Molecule *Just like Ip Man, 1 Vs 10, a key player/flavor

So to replicate the flavor of Vanilla , you would just need to duplicate mainly the Dominant Molecule and some of other less Dominant Molecule.

Orange Dominant Molecule = Octyl Acetate (CH3COOC8H17)*Cheat code for Godlike Mode

Banana Dominant Molecule =Isoamyl Acetate (CH3COOC5H11)*A more complex version of "Blacksheepwall"

Do you know there already is all sort of Artificial Flavoring? *Chicken Flavoring? They do exist!

I barely pass my Chemistry , so please refer to  The Science of Artificial Flavoring for more detail
*Warning, only read if you excel in Chemistry if not permanent brain damage could occur

2) Artificial Coloring

 
 

Here's a picture of a real Green Apple Juice & Green Apple Bubble Tea
- Which cup do you prefer?
- "We eat with our eyes first" So True

3) Non Dairy Creamer AKA CoffeeMate

Ingredient:
-Partially hydrogenated fat,
-Sodium Caseinate
-Mono-and Digycerides
-Dipotasssium Phosphate
All I know is, it contains Trans Fat which will lead to Heart Attack.

Go ask Mr.G for more info about what these ingredient are.

Try this Experiment:
1) Find a test rat
- Somebody with Lactose Intolerance
- The more sensitive to Lactose, the better the outcome will be

2) Hunt for a Bubble Tea shop
- Order the most common Pearl Milk Tea
- Drink, Enjoy

3) Patience is Virtue
- Wait for 1-6 hours

4) Result
a) Nothing Happen
- unless The Test Rat is sensitive towards Pearls or Tea

b) Stomach Discomfort
- due to Lactose Intolerance

- This would not occur unless you order from the FRESH MILK TEA category

This Experiment is a solid proof that they do not use Real Milk in your drink, they use Non Dairy Creamer 

Try Peeping into the secret room behind all of the Bubble Tea Shop

If you are lucky, you could see them mixing batches of Non Dairy Creamer with Water * I've seen it with my own eyes!

I hope you would be more aware of Artificial Coloring, Artificial Flavoring & Non Dairy Creamer now.

I personally would only order from THE FRESH MILK TEA category although I have Lactose Intolerance problem
