Any good places in the Washington DC area?

Elizabeth — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:49:01 GMT

Hey! I was wondering whether anyone knows of any good places to get bubble tea in the Washington DC area and/or Arlington, VA. Ten Ren Tea in Rockville MD is great, but it's a little to far from where Iive and work. Thanks.

Tea at home and tea abroad

Hello :) I'm new to this tribe (and tribe.net altogether!) and I was wondering if there's anyone else here from the Kansas City, MO area.

Also, I was recently in San Francisco and completely struck out on finding good bubble tea (or any tea shops for that matter) while I was there. Granted, my travels were limited and I didn't look extremely hard, but I'll be in the area for Pride next June (July?) and again for Halloween, so perhaps some locals can point me in the right direction for fantastic tea abroad?

Buko Pandan is a Filipino flavour.
Have you tried it? It's one of my favorites...

Drink(eat) at your own risk!

I ordered bubble tea from my fav cafe in new orleans(which is closed now, even before the hurricane) and as I was walking home while sipping my bubble tea I swallowed a bubble. Went down too quick so I coughed. I couldnt even inhale to cough. It was stuck in my wind pipe. I kept trying and trying to cough (which the weirdest noises came out) it up. An idiot across the street was mocking me. I never did but the bubble did dissolve after a few seconds. Bubble tea alomst killed me.

You'd think I'd learn.

*Slurp*

Howdy!

Taiwan would like it's people to drink less bubble tea for national security.

Text of story...

TAIPEI, Taiwan - Taiwan people should drink less tea and use the money saved to help pay the United States for a big weapons package that will protect the island from arch-foe China, the defense ministry said on Tuesday.

Faced with criticism that an $18 billion arms offer from Washington is too expensive, the ministry is issuing pamphlets to rally support for the special budget, which has to be approved by lawmakers.

“A cup of pearl milk tea for national security,” the ministry said in a colorful cartoon, which pictured a boy holding a giant plastic cup of tea next to photographs of a submarine, Patriot anti-missiles and submarine-hunting aircraft.

“We can buy top-notch equipment to protect our country (if) everyone drinks one less pearl milk tea every week,” it said.

Pearl milk tea, also known as “bubble tea” is a popular drink containing small white balls of glutinous sago.

Opposition parties have vowed to block the budget, saying the money should be spent on education and welfare. The military says the weapons are vital to counter a build-up by China, which views Taiwan as a breakaway province to be brought back to the fold, by force if necessary.

“It’s very sad that we have to use the milk tea analogy to seek support for the arms purchase,” Defense Minister Lee Jye told parliament. “But we hope to use the simplest terms to tell people the arms budget is not too big.”
