ABOUT PEARL TEA:

&nbsp; Pearl tea is a delicious drink
&nbsp; made with tea, condensed
&nbsp; milk, and large tapioca balls
&nbsp; (the pearls).

&nbsp; Many types of flavorings are
&nbsp; often added to pearl tea, e.g.
&nbsp; red bean, almond, melon.

HAHAH...yeah...bubble tea kicks ass! &nbsp;I love shootin' those things across the parking lot...You can get some killer trajectory on them. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[DragonReborn214]

Im sick of that crap. I prefer Mango slushies... My girlfriend always gets boba milk tea... though the milk coffee isn't too bad with topioca.

Do they have tea zones where u guys live?

[ZeroGS14]

[teamcapsule]

Go to Mong Kok in Hong Kong... there's this one stall which makes the best pearl tea and coconut drink...

west: &nbsp;i don't know why i started craving it...just popped into my head...

[transient]

Man, I gotta try some of that. I wonder if anyplace around here makes it.

[240enthusiast]

DO I SEE THAT SOMEONE IS FROM MISSISSAUGA AND TORONTO?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>? woohoo it's about time. &nbsp;I'm from toronto but I love in ATL and everyone thinks I'm crazy when I say BUBBLE TEA. &nbsp;Yeah I'm having a hard time finding it here in GA cuz you know it's all hicks right? J/K anyways if anyone knows here in ATL where I can get it let me know!!!

Haha weird, I've never heard people call it bubble tea before. Here we call it either pearl tea or zhen zhu nai cha. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> (Don't attempt to read that out loud if you can't read Pinyin. ^_^)

[nismo270r]

Danio....I got the &quot;nai cha&quot; part...but what is &quot;zhen zhu&quot;? &nbsp;I took like one semester of Chinese awhile ago, and I can only remember so much...hehe.

&quot;Zhen zhu&quot; is what those &quot;pearls&quot; are called. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[drift freaq]

sticky ball tea another loose slang name for it here in SoCal. Anyways it is all over the place here at Thai places , Vietnamese places , Chinese places etc

[DragonReborn214]

I thought it was boba nai cha... Never heard it the other way. (I live close to Monterey park and all my friends are chinese)


(Edited by DragonReborn214 at 2:25 am on Dec. 8, 2001)

They probably say &quot;baba&quot; because it sounds like &quot;bubble.&quot; I'm just guessing though. Never heard of baba nai cha. :Þ

[DragonReborn214]

My bad, I meant boba. No one I know calls it bubble tea

[Takumi]

Boba (boh-bah) lai cha is how I say it in Cantonese. &nbsp;We've got a few of those places in Nor. Cali.

LOL! I asked my girlfriend (who speaks Cantonese) and she said boba means nads/ovaries. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[Takumi]

Yea..that too. I thought it was also slang for &quot;tits&quot;.

[Arcane]

sorry to bring up an old post...but i finally got some boba...had to order it and make it myself...but it was worth it...thanks to bubbleteasupply.com for the stuff...woohoo!!! &nbsp;i'm a happy camper for at least a month...

i agree..

it's actually pretty good when you get the sweetest ingredients in it. &nbsp;

[Grant]

Chris, nai cha is milk tea in chinese, zhen zhu is that tapioca crap.

[nismo270r]

I knew the nai cha part...and Danio cleared up the zhen zhu...lol...&quot;tapioca crap&quot;...I'm still laughing at the whole www.bubbleteasupply.com website. &nbsp;I can't believe that shit man! &nbsp;Bubble tea supply delivered to your door!! That kicks ass!

[West]

Alright, So if I get the bubble tea kit then what flavors are the best? I want to try some since I cant find it anywhere local in CO.

[burgy240]

They have that at Turbofour.....local speed shop. &nbsp;There is a root that is awesome. &nbsp;I can't remember the name, targo is it? &nbsp;Anyway, I stop in at T4 to hang and have some tea. &nbsp;I need to go there soon too. &nbsp;

hey mark...i heard of one place in denver that sells it...sorry, but i don't know the name...i'd say just talk to the local asian population and you are to find someone who knows....as for the flavors to try...my favorite is thai tea...it's an everyone friendly drink...if you want american friendly drinks stick to names that are common....strawberry, green apple and watermelon are popular in san diego (aahhhh....home!)...if you want something a little more asian oriented, try honeydew or taro...i can't recommend taro but a lot of people like it...but honeydew is badass...just remember that this stuff is expensive, that $50 supply will last you about a month...but if you are like me, maybe a couple of weeks....if you are ever in the springs, hit me up...i'll be happy to share some with you...(not a lot though, just some)...peas


sorry for the long post guys...

Dang. I have never heard of Pearl Tea, and all the other ten thousand names for the same thing. But now I want some. Thanks a lot. ;-)

[Anubis]

theres a place here in so-cal called &quot;Bobalicious &quot;. I go there many times to hang out with other people and drink that tea stuff. Pretty good, you can also play cards and connect four there. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Most taiwanese knows how to make them. Ask them how to make , I think it is pretty simple.
