Bubble tea is popular worldwide; you can find it anywhere, but tapiocas are mostly imported from Taiwan. The people from Taiwan know how to make tapioca the best. The best bubble tea can be found in Taiwan, so everyone is welcome to try it here in Taiwan.

When talking about tea, most people might think of a cuppa of British tea, but actually, an innovative kind is spreading like wildfire. It's the bubble tea with its signature chewy tapioca balls!

Bubble tea is so prevalent in my country (Vietnam) especially with young people. It's very interesting when hearing you guys talking about its original and vocabularies.

@__rougitsune5571 3 месяца назад

I didn’t like bubble tea in Japan, but when I went to Taiwan, my Taiwanese friends recommended to drink original bubble tea and I drank, which was so tasty!!! I’d like to drink it again.

@BrianBrian-qn8sc 3 месяца назад

People in Taiwan use the letter 'Q' to talk about chewy things. For example, we can say "珍珠非常Q (Tapioca balls are really chewy "Q"," something is "QQ的 (something is very chewy)," or "這個好Q啊 (this is so chewy!)"!

@bbclearningenglish 3 месяца назад

That's interesting! Do you know why people in Taiwan started to use the letter 'Q' to talk about chewy things?

@BrianBrian-qn8sc 3 месяца назад

@@bbclearningenglish I'm not sure, but I guess it could be the capitalized form of the letter 'Q' looks like a soft-boiled egg, a rubber ball, or something flexible and bouncy and the small tail of 'Q' looks like it can be pulled and when you let it go it will bounce back?

@randyclaire 3 месяца назад

@@bbclearningenglish Cause that was from Taiwanese dialect " Soft Q Q" , To describe things are SO SOFT !

@ericxu8988 3 месяца назад

@@BrianBrian-qn8scBecause the pronunciation of 'Q' coincidentally matches this Chinese dialect.

@ibrahimbao 3 месяца назад

From my life experience, Q is not commonly used in my and my friends circles in Taipei. Maybe the usuage is in some where of Taiwan?

I’m keen of perld milk tea. On weekends I usually serve myself a bottle of it. My favorite is “Sữa tươi trân châu đường đen” which is made of sugar, chewy bubbles, a splash of milk and crushed ice

Absolutely loved this episode on the origins and global rise of bubble tea! It's fascinating to learn how a simple innovation by Liu Han-Chieh transformed a traditional beverage into a worldwide sensation. The inclusion of celebrity influences really highlights how cultural icons can amplify new trends. Thanks for sharing such intriguing insights and the rich history behind this unique drink. Looking forward to trying more innovative tea flavors inspired by your show! 🍵✨

I am a big fan of bubble milk tea. But it contains plenty of sugar so I don't allow myself to drink too much. when I drank milk tea I frequently ate chewy tapiocas in the end. I think Milk tea is an innovative invention of humankind.

Thanks for another great episode, I always wanted to know what are these bubbles made from. I tried bubble tea about ten years ago, bubble tea shops spreaded like wildfire then. But I still stay everyday classic tea lover, only black tea,only hardcore😅 And won't refuse to take a cuppa coffee with milk and cinnamon as a nice dessert!

@bbclearningenglish 3 месяца назад

My sons and husband love bubble tea. They told me the taste lingered in their mouth.

@user-en7dr3ru2l 3 месяца назад

Good！But please don't drink bubble tea too often, cause there are lots of sugars in it, even though you drink a cup of sugar- free bubble tea, it still contains some sugar because we need to add sugars in tapioca to make them tasty and chewy. It is not good for us to eat too much sugar in our daily life.

I prefer coffee than tea. I grew up drinking coffee because it is a very popular drink in Brazil, but I really like tea as well. I drink coffee every day, I usually have coffee in the morning for breakfast and at work because I work at night and coffee helps me I don't sleep, but when I get home in the morning I feel sleepless because coffee gives me a lot of energy.

Bubble tea, also known as boba tea, is popular everywhere, so bubble tea existing in the Star Wars universe is not unlikely. The well-known character, Boba Fett, could be named after boba tea because he loves the fattening drink so much that he would be called Boba "Fett (Fat)"! Did you get it?
