Flower tea is actually flower but come with the tea fragance.
Normally, it is using clay teapot for the tea, but there is one type of flower tea should use glass teapot. It has special features that when it is boiling .... there is a flower blooming in the water.
Compliments
by Pavlik_NL
My compliments to the airport-personel that guided us quickly and safely from our arrival-place to our leaving-place. It seemed that we would miss our connection to Hong Kong as for the delay on the flight from Narita-airport - Tokyo. We however managed to get on the next airplane, so thanks to the guys that made it happen.
Bubble tea cafe
by yukisanto
A second level cafe in Ximending, opposite California fitness. Nice ambience. Set dinner includes a bubble tea drink, a soup, dessert with main course. There are 4 main courses for you to choose from. But, it's either spagetti or oven baked rice. I took Oven-baked rice with beef. Costs us around NT400-500 each since we upgraded our drink to large.
If you forgive the lack of choices, it's quite a good deal actually. It's a large portion and I didn't even touch the dessert because I was so full.
