Bubble tea originated in Taiwan during the 1980s. What started as a simple experiment of adding tapioca pearls to milk tea quickly turned into a cultural phenomenon. Over time, bubble tea evolved into countless variations and flavors, spreading across the globe.

At its core, bubble tea includes a few essential components:

- Sweeteners: Sugar, honey, or flavored syrups
This combination creates a perfectly balanced drink that is refreshing, creamy, and fun to drink.
