Tiger Sugar Kaohsiung

Tiger Sugar took Taiwan by storm with their photogenic brown sugar bubble tea featuring those distinctive tiger stripes cascading down the inside of the cup. The Kaohsiung branch brings this Instagram-famous drink to southern Taiwan, and while it looks great in photos, it actually tastes amazing too. They cook their brown sugar syrup fresh daily, creating a rich, caramelly sweetness that's more complex than typical bubble tea. The pearls are cooked in brown sugar too, giving them that signature flavor throughout. Watching them create each drink is part of the experience - they swirl the syrup inside the cup to create the stripes, add the chewy pearls, then top it with fresh milk. It's sweet, indulgent, and has spawned countless imitators, but the original still does it best.
