It’s easy to be entranced by the inviting array of brightly colored cans of Asian tea at the Super 88 Market on Comm Ave. Popping the top and taking a swig of the unknown, however, can be daunting. I sampled a few of these strange brews to find out what the ambiguous language and images on the labels didn’t tell me.

Preferably served cold, Yeo’s Chrysanthemum Tea Drink tastes like a punchy variation of green tea. This bright-yellow Malaysian drink is sweet, but with an underlying earthy taste that keeps it from being too sugary. A Taiwanese Peach Tea by Kaisi, flavored with peach-juice concentrate, is fruity without tasting artificial — a more fruit-based, natural take on Lipton and Snapple versions.

The picture of a happy farmer drew my attention to a can of Milk Flavor Tea Drink by Tung-I. A small logo advised me to "Care Environment with Good Manner," and I was sold. Unfortunately, the can's contents proved less enjoyable — imagine Yoo-hoo with a shot of cherry juice. No harm in trying, though. Super 88 carries dozens of flavored teas in pop-top cans from all over the Pacific Rim, priced right for experimentation.

Available for approximately 69 cents per can at Super 88 Market, 1095 Comm Ave, in Allston. Call (617) 787-2288.
