Bubble Tea

Bubble tea (also referred to as pearl or boba tea) it is a tasty and refreshing beverage that is part tea drink and part delicious dessert.

Growing in popularity, this beverage or dessert can be made in a variety of flavors and served either hot or cold.

Some of these more popular flavors include peach, mango, passion fruit, chocolate milk, or familiar green.

What makes pearl tea unique is the creamy consistency and tapioca pearls it contains.

These are big balls of chewy tapioca that are responsible for creating the bubbles. The balls sink to the bottom of the drink and give it extra sweetness.

An over-sized straw allows you to enjoy the drink and savor the tapioca as it melts into your mouth.

These sweet dessert teas originated in Asia and, like most teas, were brought to the West by enthusiasts who knew they would make a big splash. Specialty teas have historically been a big part of Asian culture and are believed to bring good health and longer lives.

Recently gourmet tea drinks have made their way into western countries and have taken the place of drinks such as coffee or soda.

If you want to enjoy bubble tea in your home, you can purchase kits that include the dried tapioca pearls, various powdered flavors of your choosing, and the larger straws necessary to get the full effect of the pearls.

In addition, there are party packs available that serve up to 25 people. Kits can be purchased from grocery stores, gourmet food and drink shops, and the internet.
