Bubble Tea

I really would like to talk about Bubble Tea. For those of you don't know what Bubble Tea is, basically it's a Chinese drink where you choose a base either a fruit drink or tea (red, Green & milk) followed by a flavour such as kumquat, blackcurrant, sour plum, apple, chocolate, coffee ( you get the drift right? There are plenty of flavours) and then as a final flourish, you can choose to add "extras" such as various flavoured jellies tapioca pearls.

Now the phenomenon of bubble tea is hardly new, but since an outlet has opened up near my place I must say that I am overjoyed as I just ADORE iced tea. My favourite combination of the moment is a kumquat flavoured iced green tea with tapioca pearls and mango jelly. The kumquat gives the tea a little tartness and the jelly and pearls add texture. With the warmer weather approaching, I highly recommend that you give one a go!
