What is Bubble Tea?
Bubble Tea, also referred to in some quarters as Boba Tea, has its origins in Taiwan and is many a person’s favorite. It features a base of tea, milk, fruit and chewy tapioca pearls. This popular Taiwanese drink has tapioca balls as an added ingredient that people have come to know and love. Its invention is said to have been practically accidental.
It is said that an employee at a Taiwanese tea house dropped her Tapioca pudding into her tea accidentally. Upon tasting the new concoction, it tasted amazing. This marked the advent of a bubble tea sensation that was soon after added to the tea house’s menu.
Since then, bubble tea has gained popularity among children and adults. Usually served in a transparent cup or a glass to show off its earls, the “bubbles” can be a variation of different toppings for you to enjoy.
