Served in a mid-size cup, bubble tea is not only a drink but a freshly brewed premium quality tea of the world. While Thailand is known for plenty of street-side stores, Italian for pizza and Britain for the pubs- boba or bubble tea is what the United States is known for.
The boba craze is spurned by the introduction of various new bubble tea stores in several cities like Texas and New York. Originally originated in Taiwan, the tea had traveled far and wide before it got embrace in the U.S.
So why is bubble tea so appealing?
People Love Varieties
Ma Alin, a woman who runs a bubble tea store in Texas, says Texans love variety. On top of the bubble tea, she also sells hot dog and fried chicken, and in one of her words, "they also take their boba tea with a hot dog or fried chicken."
Climate Factor
We can also attribute the popularity of bubble tea to the U.S. climate. For many years vendors in the U.S. have had their coffees and iced cakes packaged and sold in small plastic bags, but many Americans seem to want a better alternative.
And here comes the alternative- the beloved bubble tea served which can be served as a hot tea.
So for the all-year-round weather, you find will find customers looking to quench their thirst in a bubble tea store.
Bubble tea is freshly-brewed and well packaged
A regular customer of the popular Gong Cha and a bubble tea enthusiast added that "nice-look and well-packaged nature of bubble tea is one of the reasons the beverage became a successful drink."
Anyone can take the drink along to anywhere-more thanks to the safety lid that seals the content.
For many people, the packaging is a thing of beauty. Young millennials turn to Instagram to take pictures of them holding a bubble tea - as they fondly say, "it's all for the gram."
A favorite option for kids
I visited a bubble tea store in Queens, where I observed a group of kids waiting to have their favorite bubble tea served. Many of them were waiting to be served the "pearl milk tea!" Amazing!
Small stalls with local street vendors now add their versions of the delicious pearl milk tea on their tea menus, to attract young children and teenagers for the everyday intake of the drink.
Bubble teas from Gong Cha are healthy and free from gluten. Plus, they are natural and freshly brewed.
Many brands are usually fond of adding powdered creams to their bubble tea. This is different from Gong Cha as they use organic milk.
On top of that, your drink can be customized based on your choice, including the sugar level. There's an option to choose between full sugar, half sugar, and no sugar. And if you don't like to take sugar but still want to feel the close-sweetness of a sugar, Gong Cha allows you to replace it with honey. You can also place your order via the Gong Cha app. Sounds great, right? Yes, it is!
