Bubble Tea is Awesome!

If you have not tried bubble tea, you have to go out and get one of these delicious suckers. You can have the tea in a variety of flavors, jellies, blended, iced, or even hot. Bubble tea started some time in the 80’s in Taiwan. The “bubble” in the name is actually in reference to the bubbles that occur during the brewing process, not the tapioca pearls as most people believe. I went to Ambrosia, my favorite bubble tea shop in Seattle. It looks like a hole in the wall but I can tell you they serve the best in town. Much better than the flashy, more popular Gossip bubble tea shop across the street. It must be the karaoke machine they have in the upstairs loft and the bright colored Ikea furniture that draws people there. I had the iced green apple flavor milk tea with tapioca pearls at Ambrosia. The balance of flavored tea and milk was just right and the tapioca pearls have the perfect chewiness and weren’t too sweet. Pop in the extra wide straw, suck, chew, and swallow (that sounds slightly dirty). Enjoy!
