Research Your Toppings
Once you’re picked a flavour recognisable to you, look into the different toppings on offer for boba tea. The classic choice are tapioca pearls; they’re chewy, sweet balls of flavour that sit at the bottom of your drink. They aren’t for everyone, but luckily, there are other options to choose from. Popping juice balls are incredibly popular and come in a range of flavours, and are made from seaweed extract, making them suitable for vegetarians.
We recommend opting for a flavoured jelly of your choice or popping juice balls for starters, as you’re familiar with the flavour and won’t be disappointed. Once you’ve got a taste for boba tea, try the traditional tapioca pearls with a classic flavour like taro to really expand your palette!
