AI Spot Summary
The creativity and concept of the beverages are unique. For example, "Eight Suns and Tea" and "Yuzu Awakening 307" are both based on grains and tea, with flavors varying according to personal taste, each having its own distinctive qualities. "Yuzu Awakening 307" has fruity notes and oolong tea flavor, while "Yuzu Mushroom Milk Tea" is sweeter.
The phenomenon of long queues at the store has caused a huge sensation. With high standards in decoration and design, it is a strong and attractive marketing chain brand.
The service speed is slightly slow, and the waiting time on weekends is longer, about forty minutes. The waiting time is shorter on weekdays, so it is recommended to buy a few cups when purchasing on weekends.

Saturday night
Started lining up at 19:55

Received two drinks at 20:36
I live nearby, so I often come here to buy. The wait time is usually not long on weekdays,
but this time I waited 41 minutes since I came on the weekend!
Grapefruit Aroma Awakening 307 - $67
I've ordered this several times and find the flavor hard to describe🤣 It has a fruit aroma, but you really need to sip it to taste the grapefruit; however, you can definitely taste the base tea's oolong flavor, which is a taste unique to Eight Yao (?
Elderflower Yuru Yuru Grapefruit Milk Tea - $79
I bought it for the Yuru Yuru culture; the sweetness and ice level are fixed. Personally, I usually drink it with no sugar or just a little sugar, so I find this quite sweet~~~
As for whether the Yuru Yuru culture is effective, I might need to observe it a bit longer.
The Eight Days and Tea Sanjue Taipei Bridge Store is located next to Taipei Bridge Station and created quite a stir in the news on its opening day. Recently, the lines have finally decreased, so I thought I’d stop by and give it a try, but it still took quite a bit of time. It took about 40 minutes from starting to queue to receiving my drink.
Today, I enjoyed the Eight Days and Tea and Grapefruit Awakening 307, totaling 112 NTD.
Eight Days and Tea:
Named after the store, this is also one of their signature drinks. It includes honey white tapioca, which has a soft texture and a somewhat weak chewiness; to be honest, I find it a bit hard to describe.
While I understand that this is a tea drink with a Japanese concept, according to the official website, it is made with a blend of over ten types of dietary fiber grains. However, my brain feels a little confused about it. In short, it's a grain tea, and it’s not unpleasant.
Grapefruit Awakening 307:
Using Oolong tea as the base with added sweet grapefruit pulp, it also seems to be a signature drink. My overall impression is similar to that of the Eight Days and Tea. I know what I'm drinking; the flavor is distinct, but something just feels off. Still, I conclude that it’s not a terrible tea drink.
The grapefruit is refreshing, and you can certainly taste the pulp fibers, but does 307 really not have any grain components?
Overall, it’s a very distinctive chain brand. Their marketing is very strong, and the branding, collaborations, and design are all quite high-quality. However, the drinks themselves are truly subjective. I think queuing for 40 minutes would be more worth it if I bought at least four cups.
This spot was previously occupied by Kang Ching Lung, which I thought was also good. It's a bit of a pity that it has quietly disappeared...
I recommend it to everyone.
