Bubble tea is gaining popularity in Romania. More and more people love it
As the summer heat scorches Romania, refreshing bubble tea quenches thirsts in Bucharest and beyond. This Asian-born drink craze bubbles up in cafés and terraces, serving iced teas embellished with tapioca pearls, fruit flavors, and creamy milk.
Bubble tea first blended Taiwanese tastebuds in the late 1980s, mingling popular desserts like milk tea, shaved ice, and chewy tapioca balls. The original boba tea mixed black or green tea with sweetened syrup, shaken over ice to chill and froth the tea. But today's bubble tea recipes blend complex ingredients for endless flavorful possibilities.
Modern boba tea offerings include fruit purees like mango, strawberry or passionfruit; floral teas including jasmine and chrysanthemum; and decadent toppings from egg pudding to red beans. Tapioca pearls remain the quintessential bubble tea addition, cooked to gummy perfection before bathing in iced fruity tea.
Enjoyed in moderation, boba tea can provide health benefits too. Antioxidant-rich green tea boosts immunity, while vitamin C-packed fruits like strawberries support healthy metabolism. Just go easy on the sweeteners.
As bubble teas permeate Bucharest, their popularity bubbles up across Romania. Crafty cafes are capitalizing on consumer excitement for these Instagrammable, refreshingly flavorful drinks. With the summer heat building, boba tea is set to quench thirsts nationwide with its endlessly diverse fruity, floral, creamy concoctions.
