A Fresh Take on Bubble Tea
Bubble tea—affectionately known as boba tea—is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. Originating from Taiwan in the 1980s, boba tea combines tea, sweeteners, milk (optional), and the signature tapioca pearls served with an extra-wide straw. At Boba Bowl Cafe, you’ll find this beloved drink reimagined with a contemporary flair.

A Global Phenomenon
The rise of bubble tea is nothing short of extraordinary. With roots in Taiwan, this drink has evolved into a worldwide craze.
- Chun Shui Tang Tea Room in Taichung: Known for adding sweetened tapioca pudding to iced tea, sparking the bubble tea revolution.
- Hanlin Tea Room in Tainan: Credited with introducing milk tea paired with white tapioca pearls, which later evolved into the larger, black tapioca balls commonly seen today.
Tapioca pearls, or “boba,” are crafted from cassava starch and have become an iconic feature of the drink. Their chewy texture and the playful element of sipping through a wide straw have made bubble tea a global favorite.
