Bubble Tea...

One of our members who visits the chat room has 'bubble tea' in her handle. Cute name but I didn't know the reference until I read someones profile who said they cannot live without their iPhone and bubble tea!

Oh? so I did some research to find out want bubble tea is.

Wikipedia says "Bubble tea, also known as pearl milk tea or boba milk tea, is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Taichung, Taiwan, during the 1980s. The term "bubble" is an Anglicized imitative form derived from the Chinese bobĂ , meaning "large", slang for the large, chewy tapioca balls commonly added to the drink."

Hey... I tried this stuff on my trip to China!

I thought it was a novelty drink...

Anyway, Bubble Tea while it's okay in my book...

Thanks for reading my blog!

I researched a few places selling Bubble Tea near my travels.
One is less than 2 miles from me.
Time permitting, I'll have to try some this weekend.
