Bubble Tea (Boba tea)

[Lady Timpani]

My only experience with bubble tea is the time I asked a person on tumblr what their picture of "smoothies with balls in the bottom" was.

I haven't had bubble tea in ages. There's a few boba places around here though, I'm just never in the mood for it.
My favorite flavor would have to be taro. <3

I love bubble tea!! Luckily I have one shop nearby.

My favorites to get are boba milk tea and passion fruit black tea. I either get it with regular boba or mini boba~

I really, really love boba tea! Tea in general is my favorite hot drink, so to have it in a iced form is even better on warm days.



Where I live, there's barely any places that sell it. On top of that, it's pretty far away. So I usually make it at home. I can send you a Chai Bubble Tea recipe along with a few other home-made bubble tea tips if you want C: !

OH MY GOD PLEASE PLEASE DO <333333

Taro bubble tea is the best. I'm fortunate enough to live in a place with a high Asian populace, so there are bubble/boba tea places EVERYWHERE.

 

[Kirito]

I like taro boba.

 

[Hai]

I like bubble tea with chocolate milk :'3
For some reason here in town are like 5 bubble tea shops not far from each other. They sort of appeared last summer and go slowly bankrupt now uwu
Bubble tea was some trend around here a while ago but no it's said to be very unhealthy and somehow connected with cancer.

what the **** are tapioca pearls??? do u eat that or is it just decoration or does it like dissolve in it as you drink it?? like other than that it looks pretty good & id like to try it

I like regular boba in my bubble tea.
Usually I get strawberry or avocado.

And as someone who's Vietnamese, I'm pretty sure Bubble Tea came from Taiwan. Not Vietnam.

Thanks.

You eat it.

 

[debinoresu]

You eat it.

ok but like what does it taste like, it looks like big caviar

 

[Sanaki]

I don't find that it has too much of a taste, but it sort of tasted like tea? I don't know. It just compliments the tea you have.

I love Thai tea with boba... soo delicious. Luckily I live near tons of boba shops so I drink it regularly. ^_^

ok so its there for texture and sort of soaks in the tea taste kk got it

im imagining the texture is like balls of dough but what is it actually

 

[Sanaki]

Like jelly sorta.

 

[debinoresu]

Like jelly sorta.

hmmm, sounds sorta weird idk what id think about that, it might be nice but I guess ill see when I leave the suburbs of a dump in the south and move somewhere that sells snazzy deluxe **** like boba tea

ty for boba info

 

[Sanaki]

yea i dont think i can really buy it where im from lol

 

[wintersoldier]

it's just kinda squishy, the texture. depending on how they make it, it can be a little firmer or soft. it's just kinda fun to bite into (at least for me it is)

i really... really love boba. lmao i actually filled out a few of the punch cards from drink places bc i can't stop going. actually i'm drinking milk tea right now- my favorite tho is popping boba.

I love popping boba. It's fun to bite. I haven't had it in over a year though.

 

[Sanaki]

I love biting into it lol I always try to get all the boba out before I finish the tea but it just never happens.
