What is Bubble Tea?
Bubble tea, or boba tea, means pearl or bubble tea. Originating in Taiwan, this drink emerged in the 1980s. It is a delicious blend of green or black tea accompanied by fruity flavors and usually with the addition of milk (almond, soy).
The large tapioca pearls that line the bottom of the glass make this a unique and rather unusual drink. These extra-large tapioca pearls are sipped through a wide straw. This sweet and smooth beverage is perfect for a delicious and refreshing break!
