National Bubble Tea Day
On April 30, every year, National Bubble Tea Day is observed. It celebrates one of the most popular beverages in the world, also known as pearl milk tea or boba.
This beverage is more than just a drink; it is a popular trend, a moment of its own. The combination of tea, milk, sugar, and chewy tapioca pearls is a whole cultural reset.
From long crowds in front of tea shops to aesthetic social media posts, bubble tea has found its place in the daily lives of its fans.
National Bubble Tea Day was officially established in 2018 by a popular bubble tea brand founded in Queens, New York, on April 30, 2010.
The Story Behind Bubble tea
Bubble tea became immensely popular during the 1980s in Taiwan, particularly in night markets where the city thrives on unique street food.
One of the most credible stories is that the tea house Chun Shui Tang was responsible for creating bubble tea.
The founder saw that cold coffee was becoming very popular in Japan and wanted to experiment with cold tea.
It was the manager who added tapioca pearls to iced tea during a meeting, and that is how our beloved bubble tea was born.
The drink became very popular among the younger population in Taiwan and spread across Asia and eventually internationally.
How to celebrate
The purpose of this day is to have as much fun as you can while sipping on a chilled glass of bubble tea.
If you have never tried bubble tea before but always wanted to, this is your sign, and if you are a bubble tea connoisseur, then we urge you to try a unique flavor.
