Bubble tea (also known as pearl milk tea, or boba-milk tea) (Traditional Chinese: çç å¥¶è¶, Simplified Chinese: çç å¥¶è¶) is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Taichung in the 1980s.
It is a combination of sweetened tea, natural or artificial flavors, and a layer of tapioca âpearlsâ that bob around at the bottom of the cup. The tapioca look like bubbles as they come up through the straw, thus the derivation âboba.â Other names for boba include bubble tea, pearl milk tea, tapioca tea, ball drink, and pearl shake. The drink is usually served cold, with an extra-wide straw for sucking up the chewy boba along with your drink. Boba tea is usually available in teashops offering extensive menus of flavors and preparations.
