Black Ball the famous Original Taiwanese Tea & Dessert -- the BEST Grass Jelly 仙草 in town.
Just let you have a bits of BlackBall history/ background:
BlackBall company started back in 2006, has bloomed and now stands as one of the biggest dessert chains in Taipei with over 20 outlets and still expanding. Drawing from the idea of 'Xian Cao' 仙草 being 'black' in colour and taro ‘balls’, came the birth of BlackBall - a dessert connoiseur that has its roots in Taiwan.
The company was founded and created by Mr. Tang, who is an experienced tour guide, when he came across ‘Xian Cao’ by chance upon travelling to ‘Guan Xi’. He was thrilled and excited by what he had encountered, as notonly did his new discovery taste great, but it also provided various health benefits.
What makes our beverages and desserts differ from others?
Tea - Unlike others, the tea we serve/use is freshly brewed on site everyday. For every four hours we will change our high quality tea leaves to serve you the freshest and the finest tea.
'Xian Cao‘ 仙草 - Finest quality 'Xian Cao' imported directly from Guan Xi, producing top notch quality 'Xian Cao' tea and grass jelly, giving you the heavenly taste you will never find in other dessert chains.
Taro Balls - We use only handmade taro balls with natural ingredients, promising you the most chewy taro balls you have ever tasted.
