今天吴老师要教大家买奶茶。If you've ever been to China, you wouldn't want to miss the Chinese milk tea, it is a tea beverage with tapioca balls mixed in. The most notable difference between Chinese milk tea and other tea is the tapioca in the bottom of the drink. It looks like black pearls in water, so the Chinese name for milk tea is 珍珠奶茶. 珍珠奶茶 has so many different flavours, such as: blueberry, chocolate, mango, strawberry, vanilla and so on. In this lesson, I will not only teach you the history of milk tea but I will also teach you how to order one, so that you will be able to enjoy a nice cup of tea in the hot summer day.
