Super Duck Modern Tea: Teas, Quackers, and Herbal Jelly Dessert

| Super Duck Modern Tea |
Super Duck Modern Tea Shop in Ortigas Center, Pasig City is a direct franchise from Taiwan. This is why most of the ingredients in their tea drinks came all the way from Taiwan. Their tea is of their own brand -- Super Duck.

Last July 2013, Super Duck celebrated its first anniversary. And with this celebration, I get to try a lot (and I would really say a lot!!) of their tea specialties and snacks (Quakers). With over a hundred selections, my snippets below would just be a preview. Most are available in hot or cold. Here's a list of their best sellers to, somehow, refine your choices.

I guess it would be best to start with Super Duck's base teas because eventually, all the other tea flavors would just be a variation of these teas.
Super Duck Tea (M - 60Php; L - 70Php)
 |  |  |  |  |
| Ceylon Black Tea 100% sugar level is recommended due to its kick of tea bitterness | Jasmine Green Tea scent of sampaguita; it was like drinking flower extract literally | Tie Guan Yin Tea roasted oolong; slightly earthy | Wenshan Clear Tea smooth and light... my cup of tea! | Green Heart Oolong Tea there's mild sweetness and mild bitterness |
Super Duck also offers Healthy Tea Bags. Usual favorites are Peppermint Tea, Golden Oolong Tea, and Japanese Green Tea.
Here are some of the Tea Blends and Milk Teas. Please note that the serving size offered to us was for tasting purposes only, else, we'll be bloated with the numerous drinks!

Even though Super Duck offers over a hundred of tea varieties, they still managed to create snacks perfect to pair their tea drinks with. Quackers is Super Duck's line of veggy snacks.
Quackers
 |  |
| Super Duck V-Nuggets | Super Duck V-Fish N Fries |
V-Nugget (85Php)
These V-Nuggets are crunchy even with its thin breading, and flavorful with its plum and pepper flavor. The best thing, you won't feel there's a difference between your normal nuggets and this veggy snack.
V-Fish N Fries (65Php)
V-Fish tasted like real cod fish that you can be deceived you're eating an all-veggy product. Fries were made of Belgian potato and the flavoring was good!
Tofu Bites (60Php)
For Tofu Bites, you can be sure of what you're eating. It's your usual tofu with its bouncy texture, minus the sourness, and then filled with flavor such as salt and pepper or basil and pepper.

My favorite among the Quackers is, surprisingly, the Shrooms! I have never been a fan of mushrooms, except for this case. Shrooms are oyster mushrooms seasoned and then deep fried. The result is a potato chips-like snack. But more than that, I find it addicting as even though I have taken a lot of tea drinks and snacks, I kept on getting a piece of shroom.

| Super Duck Shrooms 65Php |
Taiwan Herbal Jelly Dessert (100Php)
 |
| Super Duck Taiwan Herbal Jelly Dessert 100Php |
Last but not the least was the Taiwan Herbal Jelly Dessert. If halo-halo can be served as hot (ginataang halo-halo) or cold, this dessert is similar in that sense too. Enjoy it hot or cold with its overloaded ingredients. A tub can already be shared by 3-4 persons so take it easy when ordering this for your own.
That experience at Super Duck was really fun and tummy-filled. It was good to learn about different varieties of teas, that not all teas are the same. With the emergence of different milk tea brands, Super Duck can only brag that they're not just a place for milk teas, they offer modern teas.
