Originating in Taiwan, classic bubble tea is made with a milky base, black tea and chewy tapioca pearls. The name “bubble tea” comes from the small tapioca pearls that look like bubbles at the bottom of the glass. Boba and bubble tea are exactly the same thing, with “boba” (波霸) being Taiwanese Mandarin slang used for tapioca pearls.
Nowadays, boba tea comes in hundreds of flavors, many with a western twist. From vibrant fruit flavors, to milky and even boba smoothies, the options are endless. In terms of toppings, you can choose between boba pearls (tapioca pearls), coconut or aloe jelly, grass jelly, popping boba and more.
