奶茶, or bubble tea, is a popular drink that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. It typically consists of a base of tea, which can be black, green, or oolong, mixed with milk or fruit flavors. The drink is often sweetened and served with chewy tapioca pearls, also known as "bubbles," which add a unique texture. Over the years,奶茶 has gained international popularity, leading to various adaptations and flavors. Some variations include fruit-infused versions, and others may use alternative toppings like pudding or jelly. It is commonly enjoyed cold, but hot versions are also available, making it a versatile beverage choice.
