Bubble tea is designed to be enjoyed by sipping it through a wide straw that allows you to drink the liquid and the chewy tapioca pearls at the same time.
Here's a breakdown of how to properly drink bubble tea:
- The Setup: Bubble tea is served in a see-through cup with a fat straw. This wide straw is crucial because it allows the tapioca balls (also known as “pearls” or “boba”) to pass through.
- Sipping: As you sip the tea through the straw, the tapioca pearls will come up with the liquid.
- Chewing: Once the pearls are in your mouth, you chew them as you swallow the liquid. The unique texture and slight sweetness of the tapioca enhance the overall experience.
In essence, you drink bubble tea by using the provided fat straw to suck up both the flavored tea and the tapioca pearls, chewing the pearls as you drink. This method is what makes bubble tea a fun and unique experience.
