In the world that we live in, some of us rely on caffeine like coffee or Monster while others enjoy something a redefined sweet tea that can be drunk cold or hot. For those of you who don’t know, this tea is a Taiwanese beverage made with milk and tiny little black or colorful pearls called tapioca. It is commonly named as bubble tea, pearl milk tea, or boba tea. The chewy pearls are the reason why this drink has the name “bubble” or “boba.” Bubble tea has always been around here in the US but several people still have no clue about it. For those of us who do, we are obsessed with it and will always drink it whenever we can! Here are 12 signs you are indeed a bubble tea lover!

Or maybe it’s all of the above.

11.  You say things like, “I mean, it’s bubble tea.”

As my brother likes to say.
