What is bubble tea?

Bubble tea is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s. It most commonly consists of tea accompanied by chewy tapioca balls – boba or pearls – but it can be made with other toppings as well, such as grass. The 'drink that you chew' has become a phenomenon in the UK but the market is in its infancy compared to other regions like South East Asia and North America.
