Bubble tea is also called pearl tea or boba tea, you can usually buy them in any malls or stores. You think it’s a normal drink, but it had history too. It all began at Taiwan where it was the place that bubble tea was born in the 1980s. Tu Tsong-he was the owner of the Hanlin teahouse in Taiwan, he made tea using traditional white tapioca (pearl). Shortly after he change the white pearl into black tapioca. This drink became popular mostly in the East and the Southeast part of Asia. I just made a cup of bubble tea at home last week, it went pretty well.
