i got a notification from Chatime saying the first 35 customers visiting get free drinks at all locations
Fun story about bubble tea. Where I grew up, nobody knew what the hell it was in 2009-2010 or so. We had a little store in the mall selling bubble tea and I was walking around with it. Several people stopped me and asked "uhh.. what.. is that?". I made my brother try it and he nearly choked to death with the first sip. Nice little store, unfortunately they closed up pretty quick, I am guessing due to the fact that nobody knew what it was.
Ooh, good excuse to hit my neighborhood bubble tea place.
Also, I thought it was HK, glad to be corrected it's from Taiwan.

Welp I know what I'm getting for lunch later.
I remember the first time I had bubble tea and pho, back around 2006 or so, the place must've not washed their dishes super well or something cause it literally tasted like soap bubbles.
Ruined me on the stuff til around 2009 when I moved cities and tried it at a place where my girlfriend worked, and now I love it.

I mean, the President of Taiwan called it bubble tea. It's a widely accepted name at this point, and all the shops around here call it that. It's like saying "It's not a hot dog, it's a frankfurter."
I usually go no sugar and standard ice where possible. The bobas are already sweet as it is.
I like earl grey ones, but having difficulty finding them in my area of Tokyo. When I lived in Melbourne city center there was a dozen within a 5 minute walk. Sigh.
I've become a Bubble Tea fiend since I was introduced to it about a year ago. Fruit Tea? I love it!
I've recently started having Dragonfruit Bubble Tea and it's amazing, I used to frequent a place called Mooboo that has Strawberry and Lychee on offer, when I walk in the staff know exactly what I want, and ask me if I want two this time 😂😂
Love me some Tapioca, as well as Strawberry and Lychee Boba.

My favorite local place opens up at noon so I'll grab one later this afternoon. They use fresh fruit purees and often choose menu items based on seasonal fruits.
Strawberry Matcha w/agar pearls & whole milk is the way.

It's very sweet and very novel, even now.
Really? Most shops don't even use real milk. They use a lactose-free milk powder. I wonder if it's the boba itself.
Boba is the name of the tapioca balls, not the tea itself. But it's largely a distinction without a difference.
I think there are like 20 boba places in a 1 mile radius around me, which is a shame because I wish I liked boba more. If I do go to one I usually just go for anything taro-based.
Didn't know about this but I practically have bubble tea every weekend anyway, lol.
Even 25% can be too much sometimes, Gongcha's are always so damn sweet.

They're building a Gong Cha right near me, and my daughter is excited.
Love it. Need it always.
My favorite place here is constantly adding fun drinks as well. Love their classic Milk Tea, and their green Thai Milk Tea... but some of their others are just crazy good.
If you like Taro, and can find Ubae. Try it.
Biscotti...
Pandan Leaves Milk
The place is just too good, always. Apparently we celebrated Bubble Tea day early last night. Oops.

I first had boba tea in LA in the early 2000s and was hooked immediately. Not only does it taste great, but tapioca is good for digestion.
There's a huge quality difference though between the chain stores and the ones that prepare their own boba. Good boba should be slightly warm and soft. If you've only had boba at chain stores, go search out the good stuff.

Seattle has a fest dedicated to bubble tea today, all along the Ave in the U District. I'm heading there now to tapioca it up.
