Taiwan is the Boba Tea capital of the World The midday caffeine hit is a Boba break and a shoulder-slung Boba cup holder is the musthave accessory. Over several decades, these bracing cups of sweet, creamy, chewy refreshment — which are also called “bubble tea” and “pearl milk tea” — have become a goto beverage throughout the world. What is it? The word “Boba” can refer to either a category of chunky drinks — including everything from iced tea containing tapioca pearls to fresh juice loaded with fruity bits. Boba tea, bubble tea, and pearl milk tea — in Taiwan, zhenzhu naicha (珍珠奶茶) — are different names for the same thing.

The tapioca pearls are made from tapioca starch, an extract of the South American cassava plant, which came to Taiwan from Brazil via Southeast Asia during the period of Japanese rule between 1895 and 1945. There are more than 21,000 Boba shops in Taiwan, with thousands more around the world. People have started taking tapioca bubble tea as a substitute for coffee. Some of these Boba teas are very easy to prepare and all the ingredients that you need are available at our website. Visit yenchuan.com now These are the famous Boba teas that you need to try!
