What is bubble tea?

 The 1980s saw the introduction of the tea-based beverage called Bubble tea Miramar. It is generally given in a sealed plastic cup with an extra-long straw, sweetened milk and chewy tapioca balls. Growing up, I drank Boba tea Miramar and always thought it was strange that I had to chew and drink simultaneously.

 

There is disagreement over who invented boba tea. According to one rumour, the proprietor of the Chun Shui Tang tea room, a tea shop in Taichung, central Taiwan, claimed he acquired the notion of serving tea cold after witnessing the preparation of coffee while visiting Japan. During a business meeting, his product development manager added some pre-made tapioca balls to her beverage, which resulted in the first boba tea. Another tale comes from the Hanlin Tea Room in Tainan, Taiwan's southernmost city, where the proprietor claimed that seeing white tapiocas for sale at a nearby market inspired him.

 

What sort of tea is used to make bubble tea?

Black tea has historically been the favoured option. You may find any tea at any reputable bubble tea business. Some teas taste better when served cold and with milk, despite the fact that Assam is generally used as the standard. For a lighter beverage, try green tea, jasmine tea, oolong, Assam, or Darjeeling. If you're looking for something with a little more body and oomph, English breakfast, matcha, or Pu'er tea are all excellent choices. If you want something with extra flavour, Earl Grey or masala chai can work well.
