Bubble tea is a delicious<\/strong> drink from Taiwan. It was invented in the 1980s. The drink has tea, milk, and chewy balls called tapioca<\/strong> pearls. These balls are also called “boba.” That is why some people call it boba tea.<\/p>\n

The tapioca pearls are made from a plant called cassava. They are chewy<\/strong> and a little sweet. You drink bubble tea with a big straw<\/strong> so the pearls can go through. It is fun to chew on the pearls!<\/p>\n

\"Bubble<\/figure>\n

There are many flavors<\/strong> of bubble tea. You can get taro, mango, strawberry, or classic milk tea. Some shops let you choose how much sugar<\/strong> you want. You can also pick the ice level.<\/p>\n

Bubble tea became popular<\/strong> all over the world. You can find bubble tea shops in America, Europe, and Asia. Young people really love this drink. Some people drink it every day!<\/p>\n

Making bubble tea is an art. The pearls must be cooked<\/strong> perfectly. The tea must taste just right. Today, bubble tea is a billion-dollar industry<\/strong>. What started in Taiwan is now enjoyed everywhere!<\/p>\n
