Do you know what Boba milk tea is?

Bubble tea, also known as Boba milk tea, or Jane milk for short, is a kind of tea beverage that spreads in Taiwan Province Province. After milk tea is added to the rice ball, it becomes bubble tea. Because of its special taste, it is very popular with teenagers.

Bubble tea is one of the "bubble black tea" cultures in Taiwan Province Province. Although only cassava rice balls are added to milk tea, it has become one of the most representative drinks and snacks in Taiwan Province Province.

There was only one name in the early days. About 1988 A street vendor named "Cao Meng" in Hai 'an Road, Tainan City took the inspiration of actress Ye Zimei at that time and renamed bubble tea Boba milk tea. Later, in South Taiwan Province Province, the saying that Boba refers to a big pink circle and Pearl refers to a small pink circle is increasingly emerging. With the chain stores in South Taiwan Province Province moving northward, this classification is gradually accepted by residents in Taiwan Province Province.

Outside Taiwan Province Province, the word Boba or Bubble is also common. The reason is that the new immigrants from Taiwan Province who came to North America at the end of 1980 still called for "Boba milk tea", so teahouses like "Boba Tea House", "Boba Planet" and "Boba World" blossomed everywhere in California. At present, non-Taiwan Province residents are still full of "bobbers" or "bubbles". They will say, "please give me a latte and some bourbon." (Give me a latte with "Boba") Tell the waiter at the counter in English that "Boba" has also become synonymous with rice balls.

Generally, powder balls with larger particles are used to make tea, and the diameter after boiling is about 7 mm or more. Otherwise, if the diameter is too small, it is easy to swallow beads, and it is not convenient to swallow and chew. But most tea makers still provide small round pearls. Of course, there is also a kind of amber pearl, which is made of 100% brown sugar.
