History of National Bubble Tea Day

Tea shakes and milky drinks became popular in Taiwan's night markets in the 1980s when teahouses started selling drinks covered with black and white tapioca with balloon-like decorations. “Bubble tea,” also known as “boba” or “bubble tea,” attracted a cult following, quickly becoming a part of Taiwan's youth pop culture and spreading rapidly from Taiwan throughout Asia.

Which tearoom first added tapioca flour, called "pearl" to the bubbly tea and milky drink popular with night market crowds, is disputed, although two teahouses in the Taiwan diocese claim to tea. Pearl.

The founder of teahouse Chun Shui Tang in Taichung, Taiwan first started serving cold Chinese tea after noticing the popularity of cold served coffee while traveling to Japan in the 1980s. Owner Liu Han-Chieh credits its tea room product development manager, Lin Hsiu Hui, for inventing bubble tea. While playing with her at a meeting in 1988, she accidentally dropped some pudding with tapioca flour into her cold tea. As a result, the drinks impressed the other attendees so much that the drink recipe was added to the tearoom's menu, much to the delight of the guests.

Another famous tea is made by Tu Tsong, the owner of Hanlin Tea Room in Tainan, Taiwan, who says he invented "bubble tea" in 1986. His inspiration comes from white tapioca balls that look like pearls in the Ya Mu Liao day market. He added some "pearls" to cold tea, creating the first "bubble tea". When he mixes brown sugar into his tapioca recipe, the pearl color turns black. He started serving his bubble tea with both black and white pearls, much to the delight of customers.

Regardless of who created the first delicious sweet milk tea drink with tapioca "pearls" floating playfully on top of the foam, some say bubble tea has become an iconic export. Taiwan's best in the 21st century. Bubble tea finally appeared in cafes belonging to college and university campus on the West Coast of the United States in the 1990s, reaching Taiwanese students. The drink was first offered only as a menu item in local Asian restaurants. But Asian-American youth in those regions quickly recognized “boba” as they were called, and it became an iconic symbol for Asian students seeking familiarity with distant cultures. Boba stores opened in response to the beverage's growing popularity, becoming the Asian-American coffee shop's equivalent of the American coffee shop as a community gathering place.
