Bubble Tea: Benefits and Why it's so Awesome

Hi there! Hope everyone is having a gorgeous day and/or night. I want to talk about one of my addictions today (uh-oh): I'm so soulfully addicted to bubble tea. There are bubble tea shops most everywhere in Dallas, but for those who don't know what it is exactly, it's tea with tapioca "pearls" at the bottom of the cup. These pearls are soft, chewy, and the perfect companion to the tea  (which comes in literally hundreds of flavors and other variations). I only drink the chocolate chai milk tea from Tapioca Express, but that's after trying other things (like caramel, ew) and figuring out what I like best.
chocolate chai and fruit tapioca tea!
Most people know the health benefits of tea (less caffenine, reduces risks of cancer), but did you know it (especially green tea) can fight plaque and actually build bone density? Me either! That's super cool because I drink it all the time, and that makes me feel a lot better about myself. Go healthy me!
Drinking boba tea is also the "in" thing right now: tapioca balls are a fairly new invention (created in the early 80's!), and it seems like everyone in Dallas is finally catching on. Please please try it, it's awesome!
