The bubbles are actual tapioca balls in the tea, they look like little black pearls at the bottom of the drink. There are generally two types, a fruit and a milk flavored version. The Chinese name for this type of translates Pearl Milk Tea. Another feature of the tea is a very wide straw so the tapioca balls are sucked in when they drink the tea. Children like to use the straw as a "weapon" to spit the balls at each other. It contains no alcohol and is not carbonated. It is a drink and a dessert in a recall!
Finally, it was very popular in the late 1990s, although it originated over 10 years. It is a Mixture of ice or hot tea, cream and flavorings. The original version of the tea was black tea, tapioca balls, milk and honey. Although there were numerous variations on the original.
