Placing your bubble tea order for the first time should be a walk in the park, right? Enter the nearest boba tea store, hop over to one of the staff, and request for "bubble tea", right? Not right.
Visiting a bubble tea store to request for bubble tea is like entering a Chinese restaurant to ask for Chinese food. There's a different variety to them.
Boba tea comes in a variety of flavors, toppings, and even bases.
Bubble tea production started in Taiwan as a normal beverage for the community. Today, the tea is served on multiple bases.
In this article, we're going to discuss how to order bubble tea even if it's your first time.
The Boba tea order process begins from the flavor, base, toppings, and sweetness. Let's discuss further on the base.
Classic Tea Base
The first type is the classic tea base. You can have the classic tea base in a variety of forms, including tea blends, spices tea, fruit tea, and so on.
Plus they are served, either cold or hot, depending on your preference.
A classic tea base is better than pop or juice. Bubble tea stores serve the classic base in different flavors.
Milk Tea
Another one is the milk tea which is closely similar to the classic tea base with the added milk or cream being the only difference. You can order this milk tea as either hot or cold.
Most bubble tea stores serve milk tea in different flavors and combos.
The milk gives milk tea a thick, creamy texture which syncs perfectly with the pearls.
You can find other varieties of milk tea such as, Early Grey, Roasted Oolong, and Jasmine Green Tea.
The bubble tea staff can guide you on the trendy drinks, their taste, and what to expect from them so you can know what to choose. However, do not expect any fruity flavor with the milk tea.
Slush base
The slush base is another one, which is popular among young people. It is a fruit jam, ice, and water, blended to feel icy - an incredible combination for hot days. Add fruity flavors for the best experience.
Smoothie
Finally, we have the smoothie. While the smoothie is similar to slush, the only difference is that smoothies are made with milk. The combination is a smooth, thick, texture. Taro smoothies are one of the most ordered flavors in the US. You can give it a try.
Summary
We hope this info can guide you on how to place your bubble tea order even if it's your first time. Try to figure out your desired flavor, sweetness, and toppings.
Be sure to add pearls to your bubble tea order. That's it. You should be more confident to place your order.
