Bubble tea is a cold tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan 40 years ago. It typically consists of a milk tea base (milk powders) or non milk base (fruit syrups). The drink is popular in Asia where they use a brewed green or black tea base in their bubble tea recipes. There are a range of bubble tea toppings, the most popular in Asia being tapioca. However, since the bubble tea craze hit the UK the UK's topping of choice has become the popping boba fruit pearls, also known as bursting juice balls, bubbles or pearls. Here at The TeaShed our popping boba contain real fruit juice encapsulated by a seaweed extract casing for the best quality flavour and texture.
