AMERICA’S BUBBLE TEA
Bubble tea (also known as pearl milk tea, boba milk tea, or simply boba) is a Taiwanese drink that originated in Taichung in the 1980s. Typically made from a tea base mixed with milk or fruit, bubble tea is most recognized for its topping - sweet, chewy tapioca balls that give the drink an extra element not found in any other type of drink in the world. By the late 90s, Taiwanese immigrants introduced bubble tea to the United States, starting in Chinatowns and moving to more suburban environments soon afterward. As the US continues to see a strong influence and interest from Asian Entertainment (Anime, Gaming, K-Pop, and much more) - Bubble Tea has continued to land into more customers’ hands from a variety of age ranges and demographics.
