Why New Yorkers Are Swarming This International Boba Shop Chain | Line Around The Block
4 hours for a bubble tea? Like bruh.
kai - yep didn’t see her put tea inside
What a loser. Girl brings dishonor to her family.
Kinda different from Taiwan. They had a tea bag brewed for every cup. And a shaker to blend and remove excess ice. It also cost about USD 2.5 with a whole pudding in it.
Ilsunny Lo this is likely to be the milk one, not the milk tea, they offer 2 separate drinks with brown sugar
Its all hype, they just wanna jump on the instagram trend
"the company's secret"
it's literally brown sugar with water...
Wan Ayuni milk*
Lol yeah. Just a normal brown sugar syrup sprayed inside the cup, milk, ice, boba and that's it.
Yeah...4 HOURS FOR THAT?!??!?
yeah you can literally make it yourself
shhhhhh youre gonna ruin their selling pitch
She didn't really have to say "different types of balls in your mouth"
😂😑🤨
LOL
Pretty sure she said size, not types, which makes it even funnier!!😂😂
I give her 2 more
she laughed a bit after saying that
But theres no tea in the drink. That's just a milk with brown sugar drink.
Yeah it’s brown sugar boba milk not brown sugar boba milk tea
Because what she ordered is boba milk dumbass!
People in my country was used to milk tea boba but once boba milk came people prefer that more, different preferences I guess, I prefer mine without milk tea
@@0512-d2g imo, i prefer the taste of the milk tea. I'm indian and milk tea is what drink on a daily basis. Boba milk tea has a similar flavor profile for the most part but its iced as opposed to the hot drink.
Faisal Salam yessss I lovvveeee masala chai, however for boba I prefer just milk hehe
lmao we tried these when the hype died, no lines we got ours for like 4 mins. TBH there's nothing special abt it lol it just tastes like the brow sugar series of chatime with less pearls
Lol
Exactly they all taste the same lmao. You can easily make your own bobba tea balls and brew your own tea and it taste the same.
I have to disagree here. Chatime imo tastes so soapy and flowery and just overall weird in my palette. Tiger Sugar got it right for me in this brown sugar drink. Although, I agree that it’s an average drink. I still like it and prefer it over Chatime any day
chatime is better
Yeah when you come to think of it it's literally melted sugar + fresh milk + bubbles and so crazy expensive like that price for fresh milk you can buy in store + some brown sugar? I've made it at home without the bubbles and tastes exactly the same lol
Why do people pretend like there has never been Boba in the US?
Edstartist He yeah it’s super annoying
Better question would be, why do people pretend like there has never been Boba before in places like Flushing, NY or China Town?
Been Asian watching this REALLY *CRINGE*
It's more the non Asians discovering boba/bubble tea in recent years.
@@faisalsalam4161 because some people have not been there
I tried this. Pretty overrated: it’s pretty good but not worth the wait
Jolts nothing worth 4 hours waiting
Jolts they don’t make you wait on purpose lol people love it that’s why u wait
Maybe bcos its new.
You need to try boba tea smoothies. Like fruit versions like coconut and mango boba tea smoothie is amazing.
Jolts did it taste like regular bubble tea at all? Idk if they put tea in the Boba mixture since they said it's a secret
“If you’re really into milk and tea” girl you saw what went into that, there’s no tea in
Ok sechiu
Waiting 4 hours for a drink is not my cup of tea sorry
I c what you did there
I can see it is not your cup of tea based on your profile
(*﹏*;)
U every where wtffr stopp

nice pun ;)
The craze has now gone to New York
Finally a ray mak comment with less than 100 likes

That was the whole point of the video dummy
you are everywhere...
Youuuuu again
“And it’s very Instagramable” lol
Yeah bruh I had to stop watching the video when I heard that
Everything has to be instagrammable
What a dumb btch
This is what Instagram has done to people, lmfaoooooo
insta is the downfall of mankind
Nothing says "I'm white" like a 3 hour line for a novelty drink to post on insta.
Narcissist Margarine 💀💀
very accurate
bullshit, pretty sure Asians would do the same
@@dn9255 ya, my friend dragged me to line up Tiger sugar because the brown sugar was so called self-made not and not largely manufactured. And we got up to 100 ppl before us, many ordering 20cups, waited a hour and more. My friend: great right?, me: right, it tastes just like every other brown sugar drinks you get in other shops. (brown sugar as to the black syrup)
Not really, asian people do that even more than white people.
The one in Flushing is crowded, every single day, the line takes up the street and people confuse the line for the boba with the line for the metro bus.
Those poor metro riders.
haha this is so true. I was in visiting flushing a couple days ago and I thought I saw a line ass line for the bus. My friend told me, dude, that's the line for that boba tea shop. I felt so dumb.
Cchan2002 11037 they pay ppl to line up
I luckily didn't have to wait that long in line in Toronto, it was honestly the best brown sugar boba I've had. Very milky without being too rich, and I appreciated that it catered towards more Asian tastes; meaning that it was a perfect level of sweetness despite it being focused on brown sugar
“Different size of the balls” hahahahah
😂😂😂
4:29 "different sized balls in your mouth'
its not that secret in Malaysia, they make this publicly
Afiqah T yah that is true they show us how it is done
Afiqah T also in the Philippines
Happy 2 Trigger You everyone is stupid
Ikr, and all boba place taste the same
No Tearsrn youve probaly never tried boba
“U can see the flavor” they literally said it’s secret wow now u know the secret flavor u can make thousands of dollars just to sell the formula to the public.
Burnnnnn

Just saying.
in most countries in asia you can get it within two minutes who the hell is waiting four hours for milk tea

Ikr lol I live in Asia and nothing new here
In Taiwan not only do you get it in two minutes, you probably live two minute walk from a joint 😂
Getting it in two minutes with $1.5

I’m really that type who puts different kinds of balls in my mouth. Yep. 😂

It's expensive, the line is long, and there's basically nothing special about it in comparison to other boba... what's even the point
iT's VeRy !nStAgRamMaBLe
it's not that expensive, and it was really good
The original one isn't my cup of tea but luckily in Indonesia there's a milk tea version which is better
It’s because it’s new and ppl just want to tell their friends they tried it. Give it a few it’ll die down. It’s good but it’s not different.
Expensive? how much is it in your region? it’s around $2.xx in Philippines. Pretty average price like most branded milk tea shops. Even cheaper than some. Of course powder milk tea is cheaper.
Milk
Brown sugar
Boba pearls
That’s literally all you need for that drink....
Its milk tea duh so there is , ok you didint like asian 😒😒😒
@@kllv7359 you didn't like asian?
@@kllv7359 you can literally get the same stuff at any and every boba shop.
That’s literally not fuckin it

“You can see the flavor” 💀😂
I've been here, and let me tell you - I regret going because every time I've had boba ever since, I couldn't stop thinking about this place. Nothing compares to this.

you never tried it lmao... no taste
This isn’t tea and was never advertised as such? Although they have tea options, less known.
It’s taste good that’s why ppl like it...

M no he’s not stupid standing in a line for a drink
I saw someone selling the Popeyes chicken sandwich on ebay for $1000 the other week and people were bidding on it lmfao.
Who's Asian and have been drinking Boba for YEARS and cringed while watching the video?*its me*
Hey ur not alone
I am happy i have discovered it myself! Though, I don’t ever wait as long as this
IKR it’s not much better than any other boba joint
it’s completley uncessecary to wait that long for that. these people can just make it themselves, it’s 3 ingredients.
Yep
Lol in China there’s literally that same kind of boba tea in every single boba shop .
there is in new york too!! i'm sure this one is probably better than some others but you can get brown sugar flavor almost everywhere. why wait in line
Yea but no one wants to go to China so thats why it’s so popular here
@Adolf Dripler China's number 4 for the most visited destinations ranking.
Every World Is A Made-Up Word lol all the biggest Taiwanese companies are in China.
Every Word Is A Made-Up Word
Out of the 20 largest companies in China making goods exporting to USA, 15 of them are owned by Taiwanese. The data is from 2016.
"It's a secret way they put it on." has the cup's walls covered in the syrup
But most importantly guys it's "instagramable" lol 😂
I went to Korea last summer on a study abroad program. This one time in Gangnam, there were tons of people wait all around the block for this boba shop. Luckily, there was a time where it had a line that didn't round out the store and I got to try it with my friends. I am just going to say it is the best boba I have ever tried. I am not sure if it is worth hours of waiting, but when given a chance, I would say go for it! I only ever got to try this drink twice, and I still remember how it tastes like.
well then it's really strongly recommend that have a trip to Taiwan where the bubble tea originated. you don't have to wait that long, since there r bubble tea shops everywhere in Taiwan, sailing the most authentic boba tea over the world.
"It's instagramable" bruh
"If you're into milk, and tea..and different sizes of balls in your mouth.." - I bet that's why they waited for 4 hours
4 hours?! I can drive from LA to Vegas before that poor guy gets to the front of the line ☹
Americans are so late. I drink this bubble tea like since almost 20 years ago..
Well its just new and they just opened so what do you expect?
We have brown sugar milk tea since last year in California. And two years ago got cheese foam 🤷🏻♀️
Do you still have to wait for so long?
Haha me too
Bubble tea is old but milk with brown sugar boba hype is new. It's also hype in asia recently. So many new store open sells this drink like tiger sugar, onezo, xin fu tang etc. Before this there's also cheese tea craze.
She really could have just said “tapioca pearls” or just “pearls”💀
I tried brown sugar boba and I didn’t expecting that taste really good 🤎🧋
Do people even know that Tiger Sugar is just milk, burnt brown sugar and tapioca balls that you can make in your kitchen for just 30cents(US) a glass???
Note: it has no tea in it.
You’re not technically supposed to burn your brown sugar though.. 😂
@@cSedx00022 uhhhh... WUUHHHTTT?!? You mean *Crème brûlée* doesn't exists??? _(LOL at this ignorant comment)_
@@harveyscottz You read my comment wrong. 😂 I said you’re not supposed to for brown sugar tiger boba. 😂
@@cSedx00022 ooh ok sorry about that. But then again, burnt brown sugar is called Caramel. Why is it called "burnt" you asked? Because normally in a Crème brûlée, white sugar is used then it is blowtorched till brown. In a Léché flan, the pan is used to burnt the sugar. Again, same concepts and process, which is why it's called burnt brown sugar on a Tiger Sugar.
You have to boil boba
This bubble tea is actually magic! The small pearls plus the big boba was is just sooooo goooddd!! The brown sugar syrup is heavenly and their combo with mochi is probably the best thing I’ve ever drank! I was so delicious, highly recommend it to anyone.
Always have confidence when you are sticking it in!

yeah. after a while mine just tasted like sweet milk lol.
@@ayeshat2431 exactly
That's a long wait for bubble tea, I wouldn't wait that long for it
You are supposed to be a brain dead can't think for yourself follower . You must follow the crowd don't you know that? The illuminati will take note and know that they have more work to do.
I tried this in taiwan during our vacation and there is no line. I got my order in no time. Its taste is very familiar since i've got to try this drink before. And there's a variety of options that you can choose from. But i ordered the classic brown sugar milk and there is no outstanding element into it. But honestly for its price and quality, it was already worthy. Taste wise, it was just a standard brown sugar milk with boba pearls. It was delish but nothing different from the ones ive tried in taiwan. And the price is also cheap (around 50 NTD). So for me tiger sugar is worth it but be mindful there is no wow factor.
I'm sorry but waiting 4 hours for a cup of tea... Sorry can't help my self, Boba Fett! 😋
Finally tried it for the 1st time last summer & it’s definitely worth the wait
Her: I’ve been waiting for 4 hours
Michelle: ok let’s go in and get one!
Everyone waiting: are we a joke to you?
“It’s bobatastic!” 😂😂😂😂😭
4:16 “caramel” when no caramel was used at all
Making tiger milk tea is easy. You cook the tapioca then, recook in brown sugar untill evaporated. Save some of dark brown sugar syrup to coat the inside of a cup then put ice and milk.
Really ? WAITING 4 hrs in a line for a bubble tea? WHAT DO THESE PPL DO ..
honestly I'm pretty sure they over exaggerate it I only had to wait 30 minutes and the Brooklyn one and most of my friends who went only waited up to 45 minutes.
@@pans715 I have a feeling she could be one of those people who would pretend to know you and ask for wefies if you'd dressed like a celebrity.
College students and tourists
@Daan Made in Holland nah the lines r just short
@@pans715 Then how come I went twice and on both times I waited around 2 hours 😭
Every boba shop has a very similar version of this drink. It's boba brewed in brown sugar and let the sugar coat the inside of the cup, ice, and milk. Not sure why this brand tends to be more popular when there are many boba shops who did this prior.
Tea: *Who are the new guys?*
Milk: *Some dcik decided to include them with us for hyped up global attention*
Tea: *What's in it for us?*
Milk: *We're just the stage crew*
i tried the new tiger sugar in carrollton, tx and it’s severely overrated! The boba itself is really really good, but the signature drink doesn’t have any tea, so I ordered the one with jasmine green tea, it was okay but the tea flavor wasn’t that apparent!
“Next lets put some organic milk” im laughing
In Singapore, no one really queues for tiger sugar
LaughAZUREs GT liho ftw
Cause koi is the best 🤤
I prefer coco
This makes me want to say "Tiger uppercut" for some reason.
"This is the best boba I've ever had, it's boba-tastic"... Someone please kill me.
"Its very instagrammable" 💀
Different size balls in your mouth 😂
Hours in line all because, "It's very instagramable."
Christ, these people. -___-
Yes, humanity is doomed.
Tis why I am now a cat.
thank you, sir. those lost souls are "instagramable". Other people don't even have time to breath.
You can get the same one from Tiger Sugar in Vietnam for like $3 and you just have to wait for about 15-20 minutes =)))
Let me tell you how it’s made
One milk
Second brown sugar
Done
You forgot the tapioca pearls
Jesus in Vancouver there’s literally 9 bubble tea shops near my house Tiger sugar is nothing new ppl in NYC should get more boba 😂
Aidan Starr Lmao ikr like wth what makes it so special jsjsksnss
Malaysia
Its the same in nyc, there have been boba places all over the city for over a decade at least. Ive never waited in line for this. I think this location must be in a very touristy spot and bc its a more well known brand it gets a line.
It’s ridiculously sweet, it’s probably at least 150% sugar of normal boba shops
Wherever you are when ever you see this have a nice day be happy and wish you all the best in your life 💋💋
Did they put some tea? Or just brown sugar, tapioca pearl and boba, organic milk and sealed it up.
4:00 that's what my dad always told me
My favourite boba in my city is the Brown Sugar & Roasted Milk Tea flavour. Its such an amazing combo.
BOBATASTIC!

@@johansjam2020 k
Omg I've seen your comments everywhere no joke 😅
It’s all about the pudding/custard instead of boba ❤️ there’s a boba shop at every block near my school.
As the Cantonese saying goes: the over-sweetness kills.
is that a good thing or bad?
@@nofurtherwest3474 Very Bad. Drinking too much boba tea can lead to diabetes and all kinds of cancer
@@borisliu5033 Oh, then why is it so popular? I don't understand
@@borisliu5033 Also, I know Cantonese people who eat a lot of sugar and unhealthy foods.
It's disgustingly sweet and they won't allow you to customize the sugar level. I think Americans just like overly sweet stuff, the location here in Toronto isn't that popular. I visited on a Saturday weekend and only had to wait 15min.
The best part is the the boba tea is kinda next to me and there is no line 😉
There’s this almost every corner where I live so I don’t even have to wait.
@Insider you should try their milk tea ice cream pop it’s sooo good!!!🤩😋
Lmao in singapore every town has like 4 malls, and in one mall theres like 4 bubble tea shops kaboom
Tiger Sugar is nice I guarantee. I use to obsessed with this drink for some period of time.
its the best milk tea I've ever had. I'm a milk tea addict before the pandemic started so I can say that I already tried most of the popular internationally and popular locally milk tea here in our country. Tiger Sugar is the best. It aint that sweet, its have a bitter taste, so milky and the boba are so perfect. It means perfect. Its still popular until now here in our country.
Top 10 milk tea shops for me
1.Tiger Sugar
2. Dakasi
3. Coco
4. Macao Imperial
5. Cha tu chak
6. Teaza
7. Serenitea
8. Chatime
9. Gong cha
10. D'cream
I just realized that its not even half of what milk tea brands that I tried and tasted. 😭😭😭 Am I that too Milk tea addict???
Serenitea over Gong Cha? tf
@@ciocio-san if u really know milktea, Gong cha is not that good. Its too sweet kahit 50% sugar lang. Not a go to milk tea pag nag-kicrave ka....
Guys this is literally so easy to make! I was also in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and it’s so cheap in Taiwan. Like literally a $1 and there’s barely a line. If you get the chance, try it in Taiwan. But literally u can make it at home. U just add brown sugar with your boba and it’s just milk. Technically it’s not a tea lmfaaao.
"If you really into....... *dIfFrEnT tYpE oF bAlLs* " wtf did she really just said that :v
it so sweet, and if u buy the signature, the milk was so creamy, it enough to remind me of 'cendol' which our local indonesian drink who now rarely appear in market.
NYC: Bubble Milk Tea House Opens
Philippines: Hold our cups
If you know what I mean, it's literally everywhere. Milk tea domination bruh.
Boy, our Milk Tea is so damn cheap. Plus, we got better milk tea shops, like Macao. (I wonder what happened to Zagu)
MIT is the best
We have tiger sugar in our country glad it doesn’t have a big line just 10 minute or less line but it’s my fav!!
This lady is adorable. Give her a raise just for this episode
This video is hilarious on so many levels
if it's only take 10 seconds from ordering to receiving how the hell does it take 4 hour to get one of this
When it was here in the Philippines, I also waited in line for about 1 hour to try it 😁
“It’s instagrammable” 🤣🤣🤣
Tiger sugar is the best boba everr. We have so many chains here in south korea.
After I finished the drink, I added more of the same milk so that I can have more of the drink. I was a bit confused about how it tasted quite the same, but just a little less sweet. This video explained it all. :l
It’s called brown sugar milk not milk tea lol
Its interesting to see people waiting for hours for something that is everywhere in your country. There is sooo many tiger sugar branches in Bangkok that there is barely any line anymore. (cheaper too lol)
I've tried it, it really ain't that special.
I live in Malaysia these bobas are everywhere and i hate it. Way too oversweet and just like u said it aint special
There is a branch here in Malaysia too, and it is not so crowded
Who EIse is a true fan of Food Insider? 😍 If you are watching this… Have a phenomenal day and rest of 2019!🌹

It’s the best bubble tea ever !
So hipster bait in a cup lol. Take note Apple need to add this into your "Genius Bar" and you can keep people inside longer.
The one in Coffee Zone tastes pretty good too, probably would taste the similar to this one.
I'd rather pray 20 rakaat during Taraweh rather than waiting in a line for a milk tea.
I live in the Philipines and in Eastwood, theres no line! And the best part is... NO WAITINGGGGGGG also its so freaking gooooooodddddddd
im Asian ( actually from singapore ) so in singapore, tiger sugar is famous but usually there's one up to 10 people queuing... I mean there are other famous boba shops in sg.
4 hours? Do these people have nothing to do????
Pretty much lol
Omg I was in the Philippines last New Year and this is the best boba I've tried. It taste like nutty brown sugar. We need this in San Diego please🤤
