Boba Tea, Bubble Tea, Popping Boba, Oh My
Boba tea has many different aliases. It’s sometimes referred to as bubble tea due to the bubbles that form at the top, or pearl tea or tapioca tea due to the yummy tapioca pearls floating around the beverage. Other times, you’ll find it appearing on drink menus under the names boba nai cha, momi milk tea, Q or foam milk tea and when you think about it, it makes sense. This drink has so much personality that it wouldn’t be fair to just give it one name.
