Did You Know - Bubble Tea Edition


5. You can judge how good a bubble tea shop is by the tapioca pearls.

“For me, the mark of a good bubble tea place is the tapioca pearls. Everyone has a personal preference but I like them to be quite chewy but still soft, and I like to be able to chew each pearl five or six times. If you have to chew the pearl 20 times then it’s too hard, and too chewy. If it breaks down in your mouth after two bites, then it’s probably a bit stale, or has been overcooked.

“We make our pearls fresh every two hours. The quality of the pearl is a very good gauge of whether the bubble tea shop is making things fresh and whether they care about the quality of their drink.”

11. If you want to look like a pro, there’s a trick to putting your straw in your drink.

“If you just bang your straw through the plastic, it will make the tea leak out of the hole. Instead, put your thumb on the top of the straw to make an airtight seal, then with confidence stab straight down. That’s the right way to put your straw in. When someone does that you can tell they’re a pro.”
