This is pretty close to the true thing, texture and flavor.  Yes, there is a slight aftertaste but its only noticeable when you really go looking for it. Thats how it is for these processed desserts.  I think its the gas they use to keep it fresh in the package since its not oxygen..is it nitrogen?  I don't know, but they are so soft and fluffy and the bubble milk tea flavor is a little over mild to me, not overtly sweet.  This large value pack comes in 16-17 pieces.  Made in Taiwan.
