Boba tea, also known as bubble tea or pearl milk tea, originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. Its creation is often credited to the innovative tea house owner, Lin Hsiu Hui, who decided to add tapioca pearls to her iced tea, creating an instant hit among her customers. From there, the popularity of boba tea soared, and it quickly became a beloved cultural export across Asia.
Fast forward to today, boba tea has transcended cultural boundaries and has gained immense popularity on a global scale, especially in the United States.
