The Present After this tea was introduced everywhere in the East Asia and Southeast Asia areas, it slowly
caught up to America as well. Originating from Taiwan, this bubble tea is now very popular in many places
such as Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Canada, the United States, and Europe. The
Ingredients and how it is Made Bubble tea can be found in two different types which are: fruit-flavored teas
and milk teas. Most of them have black tapioca pearls, coconut jelly, kon-jac jelly, lychee jelly, coffee jelly,
rainbow jelly, fruit mixtures, or sago at the bottom of the cup, which taste like jelly pearls and which are easy
to chew. They are sucked in through a straw together with the tea, so that as one sips as well as chews at
the same time.
The mixture is then blended together well using a blender or a cocktail shaker. It is then shaken thoroughly
before it is served, which is what produces the bubbly and half-liquid texture. Just like any other type of tea,
this bubble tea is a mixture of iced or hot tea, usually sweetened and mixed with milk and other flavorings
most of the times. The flavorings used here can be extract or syrup from common fruits such as passion
fruit, strawberry, chocolate, coconut, or others, for instance, and the tea used can be that of wulong tea,
black tea, green tea, jasmine tea, or any other type of more common tea.
The milk which is used can be either dairy or non-dairy creamers. This bubble tea can be found in many
restaurants and cafes worldwide, and it would definitely be available at all Chinese shops. This tea is
considered an alternative drink to all common drinks such as Cola, isotonic drinks and so on.
