What is bubble tea?

[LordJezo]

As much as I don't know about bubble tea, I know that is wrong.

No dude. Here's a link that explains it. http://www.bubbleteaonline.com/bubbletea/bubbletea.shtml

It tastes pretty good. The tapioca balls take a little getting used to, but I like boba the times I've had one.

My GF loves that crap. It's like flavored rice milk with tapioca pearls.

Thanks for asking. I've been wondering this for months now. It's extremely popular in the U-district, and I have no idea why.

That stuff is popular around my school because of a place across the street that serves it. I've never tried it, and I don't really want to. I generally try to avoid having pieces of stuff that float (or sink in this case) in my drink, I'm not going get get them in there on purpose.

Good stuff--i like to try and get the honeydew and lychee when its available-I'm surprised this hasn't shown up in Starbucks yet--especially in the asian locations...mark my words, just a matter of time..

It is expensive for what it is also.

wow, i can't believe bubble tea (aka boba) has made it all the way to jersey. it's huge here at ucla, where they have about 10 billion boba vendors on campus and in westwood. i hated it the first time i tried it, but now i love the stuff -- it's definitely an acquired taste.

yep... UCLA is surrounded with BOBA places... my favorite is Boba World because they have some that are like a smoothie/shake... mmm nummy. it is something you need to get used to... but either you love it or you don't....

 

[freemanteo]

Ummm, i did'nt know there was Boba in USA? I should open up some in Texas!

ya you guys are being ripped off, bubble tea in Taiwan costs like $1.

But that stuff is good
