What is Bubble Tea?

Bubble Tea, tapioca flour, and starch are derived from the root of a tropical plant called Cassava. In short, these bubbles in Bubble Tea are nothing but tapioca starch. Also known as tapioca pearls, these transparent spheres have no distinct taste or smell. However, when combined with milk tea, they become chewy and enjoyable.

Bubble Tea, a milk tea that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, has since spread its popularity across Far Eastern countries. Today, it has become a global beverage trend, uniting people from different cultures and backgrounds in their love for this unique drink.

The feature that makes Bubble Tea different from any other milk tea is the “bubbles” collapsed in it, which are also in its name; in other words, the bubbles inside are chewed and eaten. These bubbles are nothing but tiny balls made with tapioca starch, resembling a kind of caviar but without a distinct flavor. Tapioca is a grain widely used in South American countries, just like our wheat. So much so that tapioca, the prominent grain of Brazil, has many dishes and recipes.
