Rating: This is a popular black tea shop next to A-Po-Lu Noodles at the intersection of Guohua Street and Zhengxing Street. It is said that there is often a queue, which may be due to the crowds on Guohua Street. At the time, the weather in Tainan was so hot that I saw the beverage stand with my takeout cup and went straight there without thinking too much. I'm not sure what Assam black tea tastes like. Personally, if the store doesn't have No. 21 or No. 18, I will only choose Earl Grey or old-fashioned sugared black tea.
What surprised me was that the black tea was normal sweet and normal iced. Is that weird? She was very considerate and confirmed it with me three times. She also said that our cup only holds 500cc of normal ice, which is mostly ice cubes. I handed her my own drink cup. Then I said I wanted two cups, and she asked again considerately if they could hold enough. Reply: The capacity is exactly 1000cc. After several discussions, I found that the clerk kept suggesting that I not choose normal ice, although I have always believed that normal ice is necessary in weather like Tainan, and even if the takeout cup is kept icy, it will not last too long. Later I compromised and put one with normal ice and one with less ice together. The checkout amount included a 10 yuan discount for two eco-friendly cups, so 1 liter cost 120 yuan, which is very affordable.

Earl Grey Tea 65 RMB
The black tea with a strong bergamot aroma is not covered by the sweetness at all. Personally, I think the hotter the weather, the sweeter the black tea will taste.
