Boba Tea Origins and History

The origins of Boba Tea can be traced back to Taiwan in the early 1980s when the delectable dessert drink first made its appearance as a modern day treat.

The identity of Boba Tea is found in its boba, also known as tapioca pearls or bubbles, which is the difference between Boba Tea and a traditional milk tea or fruit tea that's been around for centuries in Asia.

1980s Founding Teashops

Legend has it that two tea shops can be credited with creating the widely popular modern day boba tea: Chun Shui Tang teahouse in Taichung and Hanlin Tea Room in Tainan.

Chun Shui Tang teahouse's founder, Liu Han-Chieh, visited Japan where they served cold tea, which sparked his idea to serve cold tea in Taiwan when he returned from his trip. Continuing with his innovative twist on traditional hot tea, his teahouse later added chewy tapioca balls to the cold tea to jazz it up even more, which eventually spurred the boba tea movement.

Hanlin Tea Room's founder, Tu Tsong-He, visited a market in Taiwan where he saw white tapioca balls and wanted to add a twist to his tea offerings, thereby creating his first version of bubble tea. They later experimented with black tapioca balls, which is the current standard tapioca ball color.

1990s Spread Across Asia

By the 1990s, boba tea had gained traction across East Asia including Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and other parts of East and Southeast Asia. The creamy sweet tea, selection of flavors and customizations, and the fun texture of the balls, made this drink very popular.

2000s Western Craze

Boba tea's popularity in the United States really started to grow in the early 2000s having been introduced to the western market in the late 1990s from Asia.

The interactive drink was brought over and introduced by mainly Taiwanese immigrant communities on the west coast like in California.

As the trend started to catch on, boba tea shops started popping up in other large Asian-population cities like New York City and on the East Coast.

Current Day Global Phenomenon

Boba tea has become a global phenomenon and you can find a bubble tea shop anywhere in the United States, and in many places around the world that have a lot of Asian integration and influence like South America, Europe, and Australia.

Boba vs. Bubble

Boba and bubble are two ways to describe the popular milk pearl tea drink.

Boba refers specifically to the large chewy tapioca pearls that are added to the tea. Over time, boba started to be used to describe the drink as a whole instead of just the tapioca pearls, so essentially many people can order a milk tea with jelly or pudding and call it getting a "boba" even though there are technically no tapioca pearls in it.

Bubble on the other hand gained its name popularity as a reference to the frothy texture and appearance that results when the milk tea is shaken up to mix the contents. The bubbles or foam on the top of the drink led to the name "bubble tea".

Boba and bubble are both perfectly fine ways of describing the milk tea drink and will be understood when you want to order it at any teashop. They are interchangeable.

Boba is also a term that was derived from a Taiwanese slang term for the large tapioca pearls resembling bubbles, so it's essentially a slang translation for bubble.

Overall, both boba and bubble are the primary ways of describing the milk tea drink. However, boba traditionally refers to the tapioca pearls, while bubble traditionally refers to the tea's frothy and bubble top layer.
