Bubble tea, also known as boba tea, has gained a massive following during the Covid-19 pandemic and has continued to trend since then.

According to Google's Doodle page, the origins of the milky and tangy beverage known as bubble tea can be traced back to traditional Taiwanese tea culture which dates as far back as the 17th century. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that bubble tea as it is known today was invented. The drink started as a local treat but has since exploded in popularity over the last few decades.
