I don’t know about you, but I’m super amped for National Bubble Tea Day on April 30! It has not been a big deal like the other National Food Hoildays because it’s has only been celebrated a short time.
I been to so many boba spots all throughout the United States, but California has some of the best places! I had my first boba tea experience my freshman year at the University of California Riverside. I was very hesitant at first, but ever since then, I been low key addicted.
Some of my favorite flavors are Taro, Matcha, Milk Tea, Thai Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea.
What is Boba?
“Bubble tea is a tea-based drink. Originating in Taichung, Taiwan in the early 1980s, it includes chewy tapioca balls or a wide range of other toppings. Ice-blended versions are frozen and put into a blender, resulting in a slushy consistency. There are many varieties of the drink with a wide range of flavors.” –Wikipedia
