BOBA

By: Judith Zhang

Do you know the history of Boba? Some stories leave the credit to one man, Liu Han Chieh and others include Lin Hsiu Hui as a collaborator. The oldest bubble tea consisted of: Taiwanese black tea, small tapioca pearls, condensed milk, syrup, or even honey. Later in the 1990s, it spread across Taiwan, and everywhere you went. Eventually, along the line, it lost its name of bubble changing into Boba because of its shape.
