Bubble tea is a drink that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s and quickly became popular worldwide. Its main ingredients are usually tea (black, green or oolong), milk or fruit syrup and sweeteners. It also contains tapioca pearls called “boba” and juice-flavored balls called “popping boba”. Tapioca pearls add a unique texture to the drink, while popping boba allows the fruit juice inside to burst when bitten, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. Bubble tea is available in many flavors, with fruity, milky or coffee versions to suit every palate.
Usually served in a glass full of ice with a large straw, bubble tea is very popular among young people with its flavor that offers different flavors together. Bubble tea varieties, which are widely shared on social media platforms, attract attention with their image showing different colors in a single glass.
