Bubble Tea 🥤

Bubble tea
A tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s.
Taiwanese immigrants brought it to the United States in the 1990s,
initially in California through regions including Los Angeles County,
but the drink has also spread to other countries where there is a large East Asian diaspora population.
Bubble tea, with its many permutations, can take on any flavor you like.
Tea houses often offer hundreds of variations.

Some classic types of bubble tea that can be found on every tea house menu include:

Milk Tea: A refreshing combination of brewed black tea, milk, and (optional) tapioca pearls

Thai Tea: A strong black tea combined with sweetened condensed milk and studded with (optional) tapioca pearls

Taro Bubble Tea: Incorporates puréed taro, a purple root similar to sweet potato that has a toasty, sweet flavor

Fruit Tea: A fresh fruit-based tea with your choice of boba that is often caffeine-free
