Have you heard of bubble tea? It’s from Taiwan. It’s like a drink and a snack in one cup. Shops that sell it are opening all over.

Bubble tea starts with milk tea. Then, treats are added. They usually rest at the bottom(底部). They’re sweet. People call them “bubbles.” Many times, there are also bubbles on top of the drink. You will see the bubbles when you shake the drink.

Bubble tea was first made in Taiwan in the 1980s. It soon became popular. And it spread across Asia. In the 1990s, bubble tea shops started opening in the US. Now, they’re everywhere.

Some bubble tea shops sell over a hundred flavors (味道)! Would you like mango? How about chocolate pudding? And don’t forget the toppings. How about red beans or something else?

Bubble tea shops can be great places to have fun. In some places, kids go there to play with friends.
