If you still haven’t joined the bubble tea craze, order a cup of boba and find out for yourself what everyone is raving about. With so many varieties and add-ons available, a boba shop menu can be overwhelming for newbies. Here are a few bubble tea varieties anyone, even beginners, can enjoy.

3 Bubble Tea Varieties to Try

1. Green

If you like drinking green tea, then you’ll adore its refreshing milk tea counterpart. Most shops in Taiwan, where bubble tea originated, would make hot green tea before shaking it with ice and cold milk. Green milk tea goes well with the sweetness of tapioca pearls. If you’re used to drinking green tea without sweeteners, you might want to order this drink in a sweetness level of 50% or below.

2. Taro

This beautiful purple bubble tea is made from naturally sweet taro. The flavor of this tuber is somewhat akin to sweet potato and goes very well with the creaminess of the milk. Typically served with boba pearls, you can also ask to add a brown sugar topping to the drink to give it a caramel flavor that complements its subtle sweetness. 

3. Thai

Thai tea is known for its bright orange color and distinct flavor. Typical Thai tea features subtle hints of star anise and cloves and commonly sweetened with condensed milk. The chunky texture of boba pearls adds another layer of enjoyment to this drink. Ordering Thai milk tea with a creamy topping such as cheese foam will create a party in your mouth.
