why is boba tea so popular now in the US?

First of all, boba tea is delicious! Like coffee, many people are tea lovers and need one or two brews everyday to boost their energy. To add flavor to your favorite tea, mix it with brown sugar, dairy or non-dairy milk. That creates a large variety of milk teas. Boba tea recipes can be extremely creative; new items come out almost monthly. For toppings, the classical choices are tapioca boba, herbal jelly, fruity pop pearls, fruity flavor jelly, egg pudding, almond pudding, and red bean paste.... Milk foams, ice cream, Oreo cookies are now part of the innovative new items. When walking into a boba tea shop, you will be amazed by the wide range of choices! Secondly, just like coffee shops, boba tea shops are now chill locations for friends gathering, social meetup, study or a work afternoon. The decors inside tend to be instagram-able and attracts young folks to check in and post awesome pictures on their social media accounts.
