i had the pleasure of trying bubble tea this weekend, thanks to an awesome friend of mine - holly. never had i heard of this type of tea until yesterday.
what is this, do you say?
after a little online research, these are my findings:
bubble tea originated in Taiwan in the 1980's. also known as boba drink, pearl tea drink, boba ice tea, boba, pearl ice tea, black pearl tea, tapioca ball drink, and so many others. typically, it is a healthy tea poured over ice with an added powder flavoring or blended with milk, fruit and ice to create a creamy, healthy milkshake served in a clear glass with tapioca pearls sitting on the bottom. a huge fat straw is used so that the 'bubbles' can be sucked up and eaten.
how was it? delicious. thank you holly for a perfect start to a perfect afternoon.
