The Boba culture began in tea-drinking Taiwan in the late '80s and quickly spread across the globe. At the time, shaved ice and tapioca balls were popular desserts, and of course, tea was a common beverage in the Far East country.
One hot summer day, a creative Taiwanese food vendor combined the three popular elements into one refreshing beverage—tapioca pearls on the bottom, topped with a layer of shaved ice, and then milk tea to fill the rest of the cup. Fast forward three decades and boba, also called bubble tea, has evolved into a beverage with an infinite number of flavors. It still starts with a scoop of pearls at the bottom, but a variety of teas and fruit juices are used, and the signature pearls now come in a variety of flavors and textures. Boba is also served with special fat straws so the sweet pearls can easily pass through. |

Boba teas can be topped with a sweet whipped topping known as cheese foam (sometimes called milk foam) made of blended sweet cream cheese, milk and whipping cream. The light topping is often garnished with a dash of sea salt for a sweet and salty profile. Just think of it as a slightly heavier and more delicious whipped cream.
