My New Addiction

I'm addicted to bubble tea! Now, there I've said it. Not that I've never had this delicious concoction before, but now that I'm in close proximity to a boba tea joint everywhere I go, I am always tempted to buy one. I still remember my first bubble tea. It was seven years ago in Taiwan on a very hot summer day. The tapioca is fun to chew on, but not when you're thirsty. I'm pretty old school... I still prefer the standard milk tea, but with half the pearls.

There's a great place close to work that's pretty authentic and serves a large variety of drinks and food. The bubble tea is served in huge glass mugs similar to how I remember when I was in Taiwan. People tell me there's an even better bubble tea joint about 15 minutes away. I guess I'll have to try it out myself and compare notes. The menus for these drinks are extensive. It's almost like a wine list. If I had to choose, I'd rather be a bubble tea connoisseur!
