There are many varieties of green tea drinks in Taiwan (of course), there are green tea shaved ice treats, and many candies are green tea flavored as well. You can even get green tea ice cream at McDonald’s (and red bean pie right alongside the traditional apple, but that’s a whole other tale).

In Taiwan, green tea is everywhere!
