Discover the origin of bubble milk tea: a taste of Taiwan’s culture and tourism


Pearl milk tea, also known as bubble milk tea or boba milk tea, is a beloved beverage that originated in Taiwan. Te drink is made from black tea mixed with milk and sugar, and contains chewy tapioca balls, known as pearls or boba, that add a unique texture to the drink. Te history of pearl milk tea can


be traced back to the 1980s, when a Taiwanese tea shop owner named Liu Han-Chieh experimented with adding tapioca balls to his tea. Te combination was an instant hit, and the drink quickly gained popularity throughout Taiwan. Today, pearl


milk tea can be found in tea shops all over the world, and has become a symbol of Taiwanese culture. Taiwan is a beautiful country
