The world-renowned bubble tea is a Taiwanese tea-based drink that was invented in Tainan and Taichung in the 1980s. It became known as “bubble tea” because of the thick layer of foam that forms on top of the drink after it is shaken. Recipes contain tea of some kind, flavours of milk, and sugar. Toppings such as chewy tapioca balls (pearls), popping boba, fruit jelly, grass jelly, agar, and puddings are often added to enhance taste and texture.
