YKW,

If you do not know by now. Boba is often described as pearly milk tea, tapioca tea, boba tea or bubble tea. Inside the cups you’ll find those black round chewy “pearl” sized balls. They are called tapioca, a gelatinous substance that derives from cassava root. The drinks also served in fat straws to fully accommodate the size of tapioca.

I guess your next concern is… Is this even healthy or consumable? Why do you drink it so much?

Well of course it is. The beverage in fact is tea (and/or incorporates it for the most part). And depending on which flavor you get, tea will always have its benefits.

As far as the tapioca goes. Did you know that they are gluten free?! Despite its claims that is not healthy, it is filled with very low levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber and sodium.

Start with the smallest size

To kick off, always go the safe route and purchase the smallest size cup. But some have a one-size fit all.

Don’t let the menu overwhelm you

The menu will have a lot flavors, I repeat… a freaking lot. Some things to keep in mind is:

·         If you’re feeling something sweet, fruity and tangy – go for the green tea based drinks that are infused and mixed with fruit juices. Include passion fruit green tea, lychee green, peach tea.

·         If you prefer to drink your beverage with black tea – something not too strong out just the right amount of caffeine.

·         If you like cream-based drinks – boba shops have flavors that mix both above like flavors into yummy concoction.

Powdered boba and actual boba tea

Because we want you to have the best experience ever, just know that actual boba tea is brewed from fresh tea leaves. The quality in taste is brewed to perfection, mellow and really fresh. If it's instant, you'll notice the difference.

Keep calm, sip, chew slowly and enjoy

To avoid choking on a tapioca pearl like miss lady up there, be very conscious on how you sip your drink. It may feel weird at first, but to be quite honest, imagine eating jello or those tapioca-filled puddings. That texture is just like it! And to add on, tapioca tastes really good and adds a nice hint of sweetness to your drink. You won't be disappointed.
