Do you love boba? Because if you do, you've come to the right place! Today we're going to talk about the delightful concoction that is boba.
When we think of boba, the first thing that comes to mind is the classic combination of black tea with those chewy black tapioca pearls. Contrary to popular belief, there's a whole world of boba out there waiting to be explored!
Tea and Tapioca
Did you know that there are four main types of boba that you can enjoy?
First up, we have the beloved Tapioca Pearl. These chewy spheres are a staple in the boba world, pairing perfectly with any drink flavor. Plus, they're vegetarian-friendly, so everyone can enjoy them!
Next, we have Crystal Boba, a softer alternative to traditional tapioca pearls. Made from the konjac plant, these jelly-like boba balls offer a unique texture experience. They're a great choice for those who prefer a softer bite and, like their tapioca counterparts, they're also vegetarian-friendly.
For those who crave a burst of flavor with every sip, there's Popping Boba. These colorful balls are made by encapsulating fruit juice, resulting in a delightful popping sensation when bitten into. Just be sure to check with your friendly bubble tea barista to ensure they're vegetarian-friendly, as ingredients may vary.
Lastly, we have Mini Pearls. These tiny versions of traditional tapioca pearls offer a different drinking experience, perfect for those who prefer smaller bites. They may be small in size, but they're big on flavor and fun!
Did you know that you can make your boba milk tea at home using any of our tea blends? Simply brew up a strong tea concentrate, add your favorite milk and sweetener, and top it off with your choice of boba pearls for the ultimate boba DIY.
Tapioca Tradition
Using different types of tea in bubble tea brings different flavors. Black tea is the traditional tea for Boba tea. Using different black tea blends, like Front Porch Special, Old Fashioned Birthday Cake, Chocolate Tea, Sunrise Chai, or Lemon Berry Blush, can provide subtle variations in flavor. Green tea, like our Sassyfras Strawberry, Springdrop Spritzer, or Blueberry Jubilee are all popular bases for Boba tea.
