Bubble tea, boba milk tea, and pearl milk are some of the other names for this drink. Originating in Taiwan in the 80's, it quickly spread to Japan and other parts of Asia like wildfire. Bubble bars have sprouted like mushrooms all over the US and Canada and will hit European shores very soon. Read more The pearl or ball refers to the tapioca or cassava root found at the bottom of the glass. The pearls have been caramelized to a dark blackish color and have a consistency between jelly babies and jelly -- they are sucked up through a thick straw and give you something to chew on between sips. These drinks are usually made with either black or green tea and are shaken in martini shaker with ice cubes.
