origin

There was only one name in the early days. About 1988 A street vendor named "Cao Meng" in Hai 'an Road, Tainan City took the inspiration of actress Ye Zimei at that time and renamed bubble tea Boba milk tea. Later, in South Taiwan Province Province, the saying that Boba refers to a big pink circle and Pearl refers to a small pink circle is increasingly emerging. With the chain stores in South Taiwan Province Province moving northward, this classification is gradually accepted by residents in Taiwan Province Province.

Outside Taiwan Province Province, the word Boba or Bubble is also common. The reason is that the new immigrants from North America at the end of 1980 still call for "Boba milk tea", so teahouses like Boba Teahouse, Boba Planet and Boba World have sprung up everywhere in California. At present, non-China residents are still full of "bobbers" or "bubbles".

They will say, "please give me a latte and some bourbon." (Give me a latte with "Boba") Tell the waiter at the counter in English that "Boba" has also become synonymous with rice balls.

Generally, powder balls with larger particles are used to make tea, and the diameter after boiling is about 7 mm or more. Otherwise, if the diameter is too small, it is easy to swallow beads, and it is not convenient to swallow and chew. But most tea makers still provide small round pearls.

Of course, there is also a kind of amber pearl, which is made of 100% brown sugar.
