Bubble tea, or "boba tea," has become an icon of Asian pop culture, much like K-pop. With its various flavor and topping combinations, it's also used as a way to express personal taste.

There's an interesting story that the name "boba" originally came from a slang term for the round shape of the tapioca pearls. Now, bubble tea is more than just a drink; it's a symbol of hanging out with friends and sharing small joys, and a global trend where Eastern and Western cultures blend.
