Do you like bubble tea or pearl tea? this is a sweet drink that was popularised some 5-8 years ago. there was even a bubble tea shop fad once and they were sprouting up like mushrooms in every corner imaginable.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_tea More from this site if this is new to you.
Do you have a favourite bubble tea shop in your locality? Mine is the sweet-talk chain of shops. their bubble tea is cheap and good. only $1.20 for red milk tea with pearls. i love their mini pearls. current favourite flavour is honey ice-blended with colourful nata de coco. and sometimes with pearls.
they have honeydew flavoured drinks too. sometimes too much of this bubble tea is not good cos most of the flavours are artificial, but a chocolate drink from sweettalk is a quarter of the price of a starbucks ice chocolate, and both are made with chocolate powder!

oh yes... I remember the bubble tea fad. It was a real craze at one time. I remember the time when suddenly, 3-4 bubble tea shops opened at my neighbourhood all of a sudden.
Now all but one is still standing and serving out those delicious drinks.
My favorite is still the red milk tea with lots of pearl!

I have never heard of this before, I am going to check it out to see if there is anywhere in Melbourne that has this, it sounds very interesting, I really want to try it, I have just discovered iced tea here which I have instead of drinking so much cola, I will have to look around for this one too...

Hello squaretile!(",)
I haven't heard of this drink before, bubble tea, but when I checked out the site it looks like a pearl coolers. Pearl coolers are not made of tea but milk and other flavorings with a tapioca balls or pearls. This drink is good especially when its hot. This drink is very cool and refreshing.
I hope someday I can have a sip of the original bubble tea.Great day and God bless!(",)
