The Rise of Boba Tea

From street stalls in Taiwan to global stardom, boba tea is now an unstoppable phenomenon!

It all began in the 1980s when Liu Han-Chieh dared to serve tea cold, sparking a revolution.

Add the genius touch of chewy tapioca pearls, and boba was born. By the '90s,

these tea shops had taken East Asia and American cities by storm, carving their place

as cultural staples. The 2010s turbocharged boba's popularity with social media buzz and the expansion

of big chains like ShareTea. Fast forward to today, and it's more than

just a drink—it's a lifestyle staple, found even in Starbucks and Costco. From a simple Taiwanese

twist to a global foodie must-have, boba tea's journey is nothing short of legendary.
