The Bubble Tea Story
Bubble Tea is a drink invented in Taiwan about thirty years ago. Also called Pearl Tea, Milk Tea or Boba Tea, this special fluid can be consumed hot or cold, alone or with friends, in store or at home… and above all, in 1001 ways!
The “original” version of Bubble Tea is an alliance between tea, milk and black tapioca pearls. It is due to these pearls that this potion is called "Bubble Tea" and that it must be drunk through a huge straw! A little Taiwanese lesson by the way: “pearl tea” is prononced zhēnzhū nǎichá, or 珍珠 奶茶.
Cool, isn’t it!?
