What Is Bubble Tea?

Bubble tea (also known as boba tea, pearl tea, and tapioca tea) is a style of tea drink that was created in Taiwan in the 1980s. Extremely popular in its home country, it's now popular all over the world as well.

Types of Bubble Tea

Bubble tea, with its many permutations, can take on any flavor you like. Tea houses often offer hundreds of variations. Some classic types of bubble tea that can be found on every tea house menu include:

Types of Tea in Bubble Tea

When ordering bubble tea, the first thing to consider is the type of tea to include. Most bubble teas are made with black tea, green tea, or oolong tea.

Types of Milk in Bubble Tea

Milk and milk-like ingredients are often added to give bubble tea a creamy texture and flavor. Different flavors and styles of dairy and dairy-like ingredients may be used.

Flavors of Bubble Tea

While all of the other ingredients form the base for bubble tea (tea, milk, and boba), the true flavor comes from the flavoring ingredient such as a syrup or powder. Just as coffee houses will have a line up of syrup bottles to flavor lattes, bubble tea shops are stocked with a great variety of syrups and powders.

Types of Bubbles and Other Additions

Originally, the "bubble" in the name "bubble tea" referred to the air bubbles formed by shaking up the tea and milk mixtures. However, it is now used to refer to the "pearls" or "boba" and other ingredients found in similar drinks. These drinks typically have what is called "QQ" in Taiwan and China.
