All About Bubble Tea
What is bubble tea?
Bubble tea, also known as boba, is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s.
Bubble tea is often made using milk and creamer to create milk tea but can also be made into fruit tea. Both milk tea and fruit tea are popular, therefore, it is simply down to personal preference. Although, milk tea tends to be more popular in the colder months as they can be made hot whilst fruit tea is more popular during the summer, due to its refreshing nature.
This type of drink was coined 'bubble tea' as the milk/fruit tea is often paired with chewy tapioca balls (which are made of tapioca starch from cassava root). However, this is not the only topping you can have with your drinks - you can also have coconut jellies as well as popping bobas (juicy pearls which burst with flavour when bitten into). And the best part, there is no limit on how many toppings you can add into your drinks - you can go as crazy as your tastebuds desire!
Bubble Tea has become rather popular over the years not only because it tastes great, but also because each drink can be tailored towards each individual - customers can choose how sweet they want their drink and how much ice they would like (or even have it warm) - you could even mix two flavours when you order fruit bubble tea! The options are endless.
Our vegan friends will be glad to know that this drink can be made vegan since tapioca balls and fruit teas are vegan-friendly, whilst milk teas can be substituted with vegan creamer! Hooray!
