TOP SIX BUBBLE TEA COMBINATIONS
01
CLASSIC MILK T EA Black tea is shaken with frothy milk, sugar, crushed ice and a few handfuls of marble-sized tapioca pearls. Tapioca comes from the starch of the cassava root. It gets rolled into balls, cooked and flavored with syrups and is most commonly known as “boba.” There are many versions of the drink with different milks and various teas, but this classic still satisfies the taste buds.
02
B ROW N S UG A R Brown sugar boba puts a unique spin on the classic boba drink. While bubble tea is made traditionally with simple syrup or white sugar, this beverage uses brown sugar that has been caramelized into a syrup.
03
TA RO MI L K TEA This flavor is known for its purple-tinged brown to nearly lilac color and coconut flavor. In typical taro boba, the taro root is not actually used—the flavor usually comes in a powder form.
04
FRUI T- FI L LED This might be the best option for someone who has never tried boba before, but wants to test the waters. Popular flavors include passion fruit, mango, kiwi, green apple and pineapple. If you want to be more courageous, you can try flavors like avocado, jackfruit and watermelon. They can come with boba pearls filled with fruit juice or other toppings like AIYU jelly, watermelon cubes and crunchy passionfruit seeds. This drink has a list of names. From bubble tea, boba, pearl tea, tapioca tea, pearl shake and more, it’s still the same adored gourmet bubbly concoction.
