Bubble Tea
All about the purple Bubble Tea
What is Bubble Tea?
Bubble Tea, also known as pearl milk tea, bubble milk tea, tapioca milk
tea, boba tea or boba, is a tea based drink that originated in Taiwan in
the early 1980s. Bubble Tea most commonly consists of tea accompanied by
chewy tapioca balls ("boba" or "pearls"), but it can be made with other
toppings as well, such as grass jelly, aloe vera, red bean and popping
boba. Bubble teas fall under two categories: teas without milk and milk
teas. Both varieties come with a choice of black, green, or oolong tea
as the base. Milk teas usually include powdered milk or fresh milk, but
may also use condensed milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
What is Ube?
Ube Purple Yam Bubble Tea is similar to the popular flavor taro. Taro is
a root similar to sweet potato. The vibrant purple color makes it a
favorite "pretty" drink, but a "tasty" creamy drink with a strong sweet
taro flavoring.
