Will I like Bubble Tea?

[amykathleen2005]

Obviously you won't know if I would like bubble tea or not. However, I am interested in getting some in EPCOT and want to know if other people care for it. I have been reading descriptions and definitions of the tea on other sites but they are so vague I still really have no idea what it is except tea with tapioca balls at the bottom. So does anyone like it, not like it, have a distant relations who tried it 20 years ago?

I love it! I always get coconut flavor when flavors are offered. (Some places you can choose to add a flavor to the tea, others you can't.) I'd say it tastes like very sweet tea with a good amount of milk in it over ice. (If you drink hot tea with milk and sugar, and sometimes let it sit til it gets lukewarm and then have a sip that gives a good idea of what it tastes like.) The tapioca balls that I've had are very large--about the size of a marble probably, much bigger than the tapioca in pudding. They're very chewy and squishy and I guess some people don't like the texture of them. I like them just fine.

Good luck!

I love the avocado and mango flavors!!!! Talk about good. Just try them and see what you think.

I'm guessing if you don't like tapioca, you probably won't like the tea?

They have it here in nyc in chinatown...I love it! Whwn I first tried it I was skeptical because of the chewy tapioca but after the initial "this is weird" it is just yummy. I never had the one in wdw b ut now I am going to look for it. I am assuming it is in the China pavilion?

BLECH!! I have issues with the tapioca "bubbles"- the texture just gives me the heebie-jeebies. I am also not a sweet tea drinker.

If you like really sweet tea and big balls of tapioca, you'll probably like it. Me, not so much...

I've never had it at WDW, but YUCK! I love tapioca pudding, but this is more like having big balls of snot in your tea. I'm not overly fond of really sweet tea, either, and the one that I had was very sweet. Dd felt the same way that I did. We are glad that we tried it once, but we don't have any desire to try it again. Actually, any mention of bubble tea usually brings us to giggles.

That's what I wanted to say those tapioca balls reminded me of, Beth, but I couldn't bring myself to type it out - you were brave to mention it. That's EXACTLY what they remind me of- eeeeeew!!!

I actually erased and re-typed it three times. I don't usually say things like that, but I couldn't think of any other way to word it and still get my point across.

The texture of the tapioca reminds me of gummy bears (w/o the flavour).
I liked it, but I got tired of chewing my tea.

OMGoodness, those little tapioca bubbles skeeve me out too. All I can think of are slugs. Sort of like eating blueberries reminds me of what it could be like to eat a bug.

Y'all, stop it!! Between you and Beth, I'm getting all grossed out. Maybe they should call it slug 'n snot tea!!

Where can I get bubble tea in WDW? It sounds interesting.

I've never heard of bubble tea! Can't wait to try it! Is it in China?

 

[Gwene65]

Isn't the correct name of the tea Boba Milk tea?

At least that is whatthey are called her in California. And they do tatse....odd. I think it is an aquired taste.

i've tried bubble tea - have a problem with those "pearls" at the bottom on the glass (flashback to being forced to eat brussels sprouts as a child and them getting stuck in my throat) - nope - no bubble tea for me...

You really did make your point! I started out thinking. "Wow, i think I will have to try this." Read on to your post. Note to self: Remember Beth's description, go to Mexico and get a margarita

 

[djblu883]
