Bubble Tea has its origins in Taiwan. This drink gained popularity in Vancouver in the early 1990's. 'Bubbles' or 'Boba' refer to the tapioca pearls in the beverage. Generally, the tapioca pearls are large and chewy. This is the reason why the straws that come with the beverage are usually larger than the standard drinking straw.
Bubble Teas Are Generally Of Two Distinct Types: Fruit-Flavored Teas And Milk Teas. However, Some Shops Offer Hybrid 'Fruit Milk Teas'. Most Milk Teas Include Powdered Dairy Or Non-Dairy Creamers, But Some Shops Also Offer Fresh Milk As An Alternative. Other Varieties Are 100% Crushed-Fruit Smoothies With Tapioca Pearls And Signature Ice Cream Shakes Made From Local Ice Cream Sources. Some Cafés Use Plastic Dome-Shaped Lids, While Other Bubble Tea Bars Serve It Using A Machine To Seal The Top Of The Cup With Plastic Cellophane. This Allows The Tea To Be Shaken In The Serving Cup And Makes It Spill-Free Until One Is Ready To Drink It.
