What is boba tea in the first place?

Bubble tea is a drink, but you know that already. It is a tea base, often time sweetened and combined with milk or fruit flavorings. What makes boba tea stand out is the fact that it contains chewy boba – tapioca pearls. They change the texture of the whole beverage, making drinking boba tea a whole new experience.

Apart from the tapioca pearls, bubble tea may contain many other toppings. These include:

• aloe vera

• lychee jelly

• mini pearls

• red beans

• creama

• herb jelly

• pudding

• aiyu jelly

• crystal boba

• ice cream

This is what makes boba tea so special – you can experiment and mix different toppings to live through distinctive taste experiences. For instance, you might try QQ Happy Family Milk Tea – a boba from our drinks menu that contains 6 different toppings at the same time! It is a combination of tapioca pearls, small pearls, pudding, grass jelly, lychee jelly and red beans. This is one of our popular choices, which shows that even the craziest bubble tea combination might end in a mouthwatering drink!

Is boba tea really worth it?

Yes, boba tea is really worth it. It is a perfect choice for both those who like traditional milk tea flavors and for those who have a taste for fruits. There are many popular bubble tea flavors that you must try – so many that even if you drink it regularly, it might take you a month or two to taste all of them. And when you do, you can still experiment with the variety of toppings – the number of combinations that you can create is almost unlimited.
