What Is Bubble Tea?

Bubble tea is a Taiwanese tea-based drink that combines brewed tea with milk, fruit flavours, syrups, and toppings such as tapioca pearls or popping boba. The name "bubble tea" comes from the frothy bubbles created when the drink is shaken, while "boba" refers to the chewy tapioca pearls found at the bottom of the cup.

Today, bubble tea is enjoyed worldwide and is available in hundreds of flavour combinations and styles.
