You know I read this also but in June I was on a mission to find it. Searched China, japan and AK and found nothing!
I can't find out where I read it before. I love, love, love bubble tea and it would be great if I could get it at my favorite place in the world too.
Just back and saw it was available at the CS location in China.
Thanks...I will have to try it when I am there.
I was excited, until I saw the description which stated that it was made with chocolate milk. Not the bubble tea I am used to, so I skipped it.
I will try it anyways, i get one around where i live and it is a cookies and cream milkshake with bubbles in it, the first time i tried it was in Chinatown in Philly, I was hooked
I had it and it was AWFUL. I know it as Boba tea and I guess I just expected something different. It was like a chocolate milkshake with coffee and the tapioca pearls. Disappointing....
I truly have never had the true boba tea, i always get it with something fruity or creamy. Doesn't sound like the true version but there is a shop by me around Rutgers University that makes it with everything from milkshakes to true tea. Yumm!!
Ok. What's ''bubble tea''????
Bubble tea, which is also called Boba tea, is a drink popular in Japan that has come overseas to make a craze here, most popular in large cities and around college campuses, it is tapioca pearls, but different than those found in tapioca pudding, these are bigger, generally brownish/purplish/black and are chewy when you suck them through the straw, typically paired with some sort of tea. but you can get it with anything from hot tea, cappucino, milkshakes or fruity slushies. If you have any opportunity to try it, you should, you might like it.
I had some as a part of a 3 piece dessert at California Grill last week... it was peach flavored and DELICIOUS!!
I know, i saw pics in of that dessert in someone's report, looked good, but wasn't the original one that I had heard of. Won't go to Cali Grill just for that though...unless I could get a big one as a "to-go" order????
Thank you all for responding!!!
