I've found that it generally comes down to the bubbles (boba) themselves, as these are the distinguishing factor from other deliciously milky sweet teas. What I look for in boba is a chewy, soft texture that takes me about as long to finish chewing as it takes for the taste of the tea to leave my mouth, giving the perfect blend of flavor and texture.
@chirchri,
Chewy tea?
I think I'll pass...
Is all bubble tea like that? (Never have had it)
@Sturgis,
Chewiness apparently comes from tapioca. I love tapioca pudding, so this is probably pretty good.
Tapioca was a staple food of South American Native Americans. Good stuff, although poisonous if not prepared correctly.
