What is Bubble Tea
Bubble Tea, also known as Pearl Tea in Turkey, is a tea and milk blend containing small, chewy bubbles called tapioca. You can find these bubbles in different flavors like fruit, honey, and chocolate to enhance the taste of this tea-based drink.
Despite the common belief that Bubble Tea’s name comes from the bubbles in the drink, it actually gets its name from the thick foam that forms on the top layer after shaking. This makes even avid coffee drinkers who usually don’t drink tea fall in love with it.
