Bubble Tea

..but what is that crazy scene with the tiger sugar craze on main..????
there is line at least 30 deep for it................
there are a lot of skinny young ones buying that stuff..................

Crazy is an understatement! I've walked by there an hour before the place opens and there is already a line (no joke).
Once it opens the line is literally half a block long.
Don't know what the hell they have in it but an unbelievably orderly and quiet line forms away from the service window (to allow people using the sidewalk to walk by) and when someone gets served another person walks over to the window. Reminds me of the scene from the Seinfeld's Soup Nazi where when its your turn to order you have leave the front of the line, humbly walk over with head hanging low, cash held out in your hand and quietly place your order.

They posted a sign:

Dear Tiger Sugar fans,

I regret to inform you that Tiger Sugar will not be opening until 1pm on Friday, July 12th. Due to our long brewing process and to your unwavering support, our equipment has been pushed to their limits. Therefore our planned maintenance and repair will take place earlier than expected. On behalf of all the staff here at Tiger Sugar, we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding.

It's a new twist on the milk bubble tea using dark brown sugar syrup. The way they pour the cream and sugar results in a "tiger stripe" pattern on the side of the cups. It opened in May so there's still a lot of people willing to wait in line to try it. It's different, but doesn't do anything for those not into bubble tea.

You will not die. But in all candor, along with the herbal ingredients, "THE CHINESE DICK PILLS" probably have a dose of Sildenafil (Viagra) (or the like) in them that is not disclosed on the list of ingredients.

You can "Google" or "Baidu" the product and often you can find out if there is an FDA ban on the product and what the true list of ingredients are.

Chinese herbal products often bolster the ingredients by slipping in non-disclosed more potent drugs. This happens often enough but definitely not always. In the field of herbal medicine, the Chinese still like to remain as sincere as possible but profiteers will spoil that if some money can be made.

Some products are smuggled in but not shelved if they are banned or illegal. Whatever you are buying off the shelves are probably extremely safe because no store wants to be involved in a law suit for sickness or death for a lousy five dollar remedy.

Usually a Chinese herbal-medicine store-owner is pretty meticulous in their inquiry as to where product comes from, country of origin, et cetera.

I once purchased an herbal product in a Chinese medicine store that was a true wonder-drug that claimed to be natural herbal and allowed me to set the clock back about 30 years in every department of male life. Claimed to be made in Taiwan, citing the factory and address. I later found out that the factory never existed, I found no internet data on the product. The store that sold it originally did not shelve it but knew me well enough to treat me as an Asian. When I went back for more, they just shook their head and said that I will never see that product again. I never could find out what it actually was and where it came from. But even though the paperwork claimed a Taiwanese origin, it definitely was not.

I’m not to sure about that. A few year back I bought medicine from a herb store and it didnt work latter on I found out that the store was selling counterfeit medicines to make more money and word started going out to all the asian in the area. The owner ended up throwing it all out and took the lost instead of losing his business and representation. I still believe a lot of these stores are still sell this counterfeit stuff.

It started in Taichung, Taiwan and it has a healthy twist to it which sets it above mere bubble tea. Japan and Taiwan have a mutual respect for quality and health, so Tiger Sugar uses only Meiji milk from Japan. Meiji milk from Japan is supposedly of the finest quality from Japan dairy farms and is also raw milk with full cream. Supposedly Tiger Sugar does not use any other artificially derived creamers to bolster the body of the drink.

The brown sugar is supposedly another part of the "healthy lure" that the company professes because unlike white sugar, the brown sugar is closer to mineral dense molasses in the distillation process of sugar cane and is considered more nutritious. Also, it is a more familiar taste in Asia, as heavy brown sugar has been more common in other Asian bean desserts in recent history.

I am away from Flushing for a while and have not witnessed the phenomenon but in Taiwan, Tiger Sugar is known for the lines and in Singapore and Vietnam and other Asian countries. I think it is only around for a couple of years in Asia and there are not many outlets. They seem to expand slowly and focus on quality.

Yes, counterfeit is extremely popular but with Chinese Medicine as opposed to other products which do not treat diseases, the pharmacy owners would rather not sell them for the mere fact that the customers notice no relief and the store loses its reputation. The owners that I have dealt with in the business seem to have more sincerity than a mere restaurant owner using cheap junk oils for cooking.

Theres a "spa" sign, with no number, on the second floor above an old school pharmacy on Woodhaven, heading south, not too far from Queens Blvd. Anyone been there? Right by Allstate, corner location.



I was worried more about the lead paint, than the actual dick meds they put in it. I know they have that, it wouldnt work otherwise

You are right about the heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium being present but usually never in totally extreme killer toxic amounts. And if you have any teeth cavity fillings in your mouth from your local family dentist in the USA, plenty of heavy metals are steadily leaching into your system 24/7. It seems that the human system can handle and balance and eliminate pretty efficiently all but a lethal dose.

If you like your product and it works and you have not experienced side-effects, why endure the added stress of fear for your health every time you use it, especially if you feel fine.

Plenty of guys get runny noses and light-headedness on FDA-approved male sex drugs and nobody is too concerned.
