KDP Corn Silk Tea: This calorie and sugar-free tea has a rich flavor reminiscent of barley tea. It isn't one of the better teas I've purchased from Hmart, but it's not bad per se. Tastes a little bit syrupy. 2.5/5.0

163 Vietnamese Sandwich milk tea with boba: When I end up in Chinatown, I always attempt to find a decent bubble tea shop. Did I find it in this highly rated spot? Alas, no. The tea was diluted, the sugar crystals not fully dissolved such that every few sips, I'd get a crunch. The boba was even worse, with a mushy texture that was far too soft. Which leaves me with the question: is there any decent bubble tea to be found in Boston's "Chinatown"? 1.5/5.0

R. W. Knudsen papaya nectar: A blend of papaya, apple, and pineapple juice (which makes the name pretty misleading). From concentrates. Very sweet (but with no added sugar). Strange aftertaste, kind of like a funky pineapple juice. Don't actually get much papaya flavor. May help to dilute with water or just drink in small servings. 2.0/5.0

Trader Joe's ginger beer: Last year, I attempted to purchase this drink only to find that the seasonal product was sold out. Seeing it on the shelves this time around, I was especially excited to try it. I'm picky about my ginger beers, and this one is good. Surprisingly robust, spicy ginger flavor for a mass market audience. Good amount of carbonation and citrus. Worth checking out. 4.0/5.0
