Do you like bubble tea?

[Anonymous]

Yes, but I feel nauseous afterwards so only try it every few years when the memory of the last time grows dim.

Ooh, intrigued. Are they made with agar agar? I love those cubes in Japanese desserts.

Yes, I think so. Fewer calories than the tapioca pearls!

Do you all drink this like its a dessert? Isn't it full of sugar?

[Anonymous]

Yes, and I ask for 25% sugar only. I like the classic milk tea flavor.

IS a bubble tea in lieu of a coffee?

What kind of tea is the classic milk tea flavor? Is it black tea?

No but I don't like tapioca

Never had it. Looks nasty.

Yes! Carmel milk tea 30% sugar, 30% ice. The coffee milk tea is also good!

It doesn't have to be sugary! I get a fruit tea with the lowest sugar and it's not very sweet at all. If I want to indulge, I get an almond flavored milk tea - less healthy because of the milk/cream but I'm sure there are worse things.

Yes. Go to a place that lets you adjust the sugar level.

What is it? Where did it start? Where do you get it?

Basically instead of Starbucks drinks. Some tea places also serve coffee.

Exactly. It replaces the venti frapps but with more interesting flavors ans textures. I'm actually surprised that Starbucks hasn't yet bought out a bubble tea chain or added tapioca boba or crystal boba (agar) add-ins for its drinks to retain customers.
