This evening in our third year, 10th month, and 3rd day living in Sulphur Springs, Texas, we visited TA Boba Tea House located at 1707 S Broadway Street Suite 9.
To further clarify to those that know Sulphur Springs or are better at landmark orientations, TA Boba Tea House is near Walmart, and in the same shopping center as Great Clips. This is the 3rd or 4th time we’ve been to TA Boba Tea House in Sulphur Springs. Each time has been a delight.
You may know what Boba Tea is or you may not. It’s better known by Americans as the “milk-tea-with-little-balls-in-it-that-you-suck-up-in-a-big-fat-straw.” This is how I used to ignorantly refer to those drinks. Now I’m more sophisticated : ). Below is a more precise definition along with exactly what makes up those little balls.
What is Boba Tea?
Bubble tea (also known as pearl milk tea, bubble milk tea, tapioca milk tea, boba tea, or boba; Chinese: 珍珠奶茶; pinyin: zhēnzhū nǎichá, 波霸奶茶; bōbà nǎichá) is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s.
Taiwanese immigrants brought it to the United States in the 1990s, initially in California through regions including Los Angeles County, but the drink has also spread to other countries where there is a large East Asian diaspora population.
What are the little balls in Boba Tea made from?
A tapioca pearl, also known as tapioca ball, is an edible translucent sphere produced from tapioca, a starch made from the cassava root.
Review of TA Boba Tea House
My wife and I both had one of the coffee-flavored “Freezers.” My wife chose to have the bobas (tapioca balls). I choose not to have them in mine. Both were refreshing and tasty.
We highly recommend visiting TA Boba Tea House in Sulphur Springs, Texas, for something a little different.
