Where did it start?
Milk Tea or Bubble Tea started in Taiwan
Bubble tea was born in Taiwan in the 1980s, although there are many origin stories to this drink.
It has been around for quite some time now and the term “Bubble Tea” was actually coined when freshly brewed tea with milk and sugar is shaken with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shaking the tea gives it a bubble froth on top of the drink.

Are there nutritional benefits of milk tea?
It has Carbohydrates, Minerals and Calcium.
With the “tea” on the drink already giving many health benefits, adding milk to this beverage makes it not just more flavorful but advantageous. It’s more than just milk!
Carbohydrates boost our energy and efficiently provide strength for our body. Minerals are one of the most vital components found in milk tea that help many functions in our body. Calcium is the first compound milk has and is among the elements the body needs, especially for bone function.

Is it safe to drink Milk Tea with pearls?
Boba Balls, Tapioca Pearls, or Boba Pearls are made from cassava
The most famous sinker or add-ons to this drink are actually made from cassava starch, which makes the debate subjective.
Ultimately, boba pearls or tapioca pearls are used to add texture for the tea.
