Boba Tea
Drinking Tea Hasn’t Ever Been This Fun
More and more people are moving away from their usual soda fix into something healthier - bubble tea or boba tea. This ‘chewy’ beverage is a fixture in Asian restaurant menus and boba tea stalls have become just as ubiquitous in the malls. The introduction of bubble teas and beverage brought the tea drinking culture to a younger, wider, and more diverse market.
It is widely accepted that the beverage was made in a Taiwanese tea shop around 1980. Originally, bubble teas or boba teas were made with fruit flavored green tea or black tea like oolong or Earl Grey to which tapioca pearls were dumped to provide a different mouth feel. Sucking on a big straw and chewing on the pearls seemed disconcerting to some at first, but the hype surrounding the new drink definitely turned hesitation into curiosity.To make the beverage, the tea and the other components are shaken until it becomes homogenous. This action produced bubbles in the mixture, hence the name. On one hand, a more widely accepted etymology of the boba tea is derived from the tapioca pearls which are popularly known among Asian cultures as ‘boba.’
There are bewildering versions of the original bubble tea recipe. The drink’s varieties are just as plenty as the numbers of stores that sell them. Generally, these can be categorized as fruit flavored, milk infused and non-fruit flavored, and a combination of both. Interestingly, flavors like coffee, chocolate, and sesame have become more popular choices eclipsing traditional fruit flavored teas. Nowadays, it is more common to have these drinks cold with slushie or smoothie consistencies.
Traditional bubble teas are healthier beverage options. They are also known to decrease the risk of developing certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Also, these infusions have been used extensively for regulating bowel movement, as well as serum cholesterol and glucose levels. Recent studies also show that teas help in weight loss by increasing metabolism.
Sadly, nowadays these healthy drinks have become laden with calories because of the artificial flavorings and unctuous crèmes that are incorporated in the traditional bubble tea recipe. Needless to say, the beverage provides a new, exciting way to an otherwise plain drink. People just need to keep in mind that taking excessive amounts is not very good for health.
