In simple terminology, Boba is cassava starch balls. In explicit terminology, the word boba can holistically, maintain a reference to the complete drink-plus-toppings, typically the most popular topping being tapioca pearls (which also are called boba. I understand it's confusing, but stick with me ). The drink all together is also referred to as bubble tea, pearl tea, and tapioca tea; based on what area of the country you're from. As mentioned before, the tapioca pearls, which are also known as boba, are usually created from cassava starch, a root vegetable from South USA that is generally known as Yuca.

Bubble tea first became popular in Taiwan in the 1980s; however, the original inventor is unknown. Larger tapioca pearls were adapted and quickly replaced the tiny pearls. Immediately after, different flavors, especially fruit flavors, became popular. Flavors could be added using powder, pulp, or syrup to oolong, black or green tea extract that is then shaken with ice in a cocktail shaker. The tea mixture is then poured right into a cup using the toppings in it.

There are various available stores, today, that focus on bubble tea. Some caf s use plastic lids, but even more, authentic bubble tea shops serve drinks utilizing a machine to seal the very best in the cup with plastic cellophane. The latter method allows the tea to become shaken within the serving cup and helps it be spill-free until one is preparing to drink it. The cellophane is then pierced with an oversize straw large enough to permit the toppings to feed.

Today, more flavors of this drink such as black tea and brown sugar have appeared. In Taiwan, people commonly refer to it as pearl milk tea.


Joseph Conrad, christened Josef Teodor Konrad, Nalecz Korzeniowski, was born on December 3, 1857, in a part of Russia that had once belonged to Poland. His parents were members of the landed gentry, but as ardent Polish patriots, the suffered considerably for their political views. Orphaned at eleven, Conrad attended school for a few years in Cracow, He soon concluded, however, that there was no future for a Pole in occupied Poland, and at sixteen he left his ancestral home forever.

The sea was Conrad's love and career for the next twenty years. In the French merchant marine, he sailed to the West. Indies, smuggled guns to Spanish rebels, ran into debt, and bungled a suicide attempt Then in the British merchant navy, he rose to first mate and finally to captain, sailing to Australia and Borneo and surviving at least one shipwreck. In 1890 he contracted to become captain of a Congo River steamer, but the six months he spent in Africa led only to disillusionment and ill health; this episode would become the basis for Conrad's masterpiece, Heart of Darkness. Reluctantly leaving the merchant service, he settled in England and completed his first novel, Almayer's Folly, already begun at sea.

Hi subsequent works, many of which drew upon his sea experiences, include The Nigger of the Narcissus (1897), Lord Jim (1900), Heart of Darkness (1902), Youth (1902) Typhoon (1903), Nastromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), The Secret Sharer (1910), Under the Western Eyes (1911), and Chance (1913). The man who was twenty-one years old before he spoke a word of English is now regarded as one of the superb English stylists of all time. Conrad died almost literally on his desk in 1924, at the age of sixty-six.
