Description
Boba, also known as bubble tea, is a popular Taiwanese beverage that has gained international popularity. It typically consists of a base of tea, often black or green tea, mixed with milk or fruit flavors. The drink is sweetened with sugar or other sweeteners and is usually served cold, with ice.
The distinguishing feature of boba tea is the addition of tapioca pearls, also known as “boba,” which are small, chewy balls made from tapioca starch. These pearls are typically black in color but can also be found in various flavors like strawberry, lychee, or matcha. They are added to the drink and are consumed along with the tea, often through a wide straw.
