What is Bubble Tea?

Bubble tea was invented in Taiwan during the 1980s, and its rich culture in both tea and food makes it the perfect birthplace for bubble tea. Taiwan (not China!) is a small island with a population of about 23 million people. Despite its size, it has established itself as an exporting powerhouse and is home to big companies like Acer, Asus, HTC, and Giant Bicycles and was once the leading semiconductor producer in the world. Taiwan built 90% of the world’s laptops in the 90s and early 2000s.

Who invented bubble tea?

Without a doubt, the history of bubble tea goes back to Taiwan.  The only question is, who actually invented bubble tea first?

Two tea shops claim fame for inventing Bubble Tea: The first takes place in Taizhong, this is a city in the middle of Taiwan (Taizhong 台中， literally means Tai middle).  Ms. Lin Hsiu Hui from the Chun Shui Tang (春水堂) Teahouse claims to be the first one to add the sweet tapioca balls (bubbles) to some milk tea during one of the tea house’s meetings.  Everyone loved the drink, and they began selling it in their tea shop, which then spread quickly across the island.

The second story occurs in Tainan, a city in Southern Taiwan (Tainan 台南, literally means Tai south).  Here in the Hanlin Tea House, Tu Tsong-He added white tapioca balls to his milk tea.  The white appearance made the tapioca balls look like “pearls” and were subsequently called “pearl milk tea,” which is a literal translation from Chinese is 珍珠奶茶 (pronounced zhēnzhū nǎichá).  Tu Tsong-He then switched to the black tapioca balls that are more commonly seen in traditional Taiwanese bubble tea.

So who is the rightful inventor of bubble tea?  No one can know for sure, but either way, it’s clear that bubble tea has gained worldwide acceptance and isn’t going away anytime soon.  Many big franchises in Taiwan have been opening stores abroad, such as 50Tea, Gong Cha, Kung Fu Cha, Chatime, and more.  This is making bubble tea more mainstream, and many entrepreneurs are recognizing this opportunity.
