ITS BOBA.
It was invented in Taiwan, and the words literally meant "big b***s" I'll let you figure it out.

I've never heard anyone call it Bubble tea...
Pearl Milk Tea is a bit formal.

depends on who makes it. I've had the mango.. its ok.. tastes kind of like watery milk. Have them go easy on the ice and its much much better.

mmm...bubble tea...i always order in chinese though when possible...i also say milk tea with pearls...

shinka is ok...interesting small boba, gossip down the street is better imo because of thevariety of flavors, closer to campus (shinka is past 47th...) but noisier and WoW fruit medleys are teh win but their bubble tea sucks...

btw ricemarine do you go to uw?

 

[Ricemarine]

Yep, she knew what it meant and everything. The cat was a calico so it had black, orange-brown and white swirly sections. She said the cat reminded her of boba because the black was the tapioca and the orange-brown was the milk tea. It was such a sweet cat too, but in the end her roommate took her (it was a shared cat) when they moved out of that apt and later we found out that the cat died at the roommate's house.
