Celebrating International Bubble Tea Day in Malta On April 30

To all bubble tea lovers, mark your calendars for 30 April, as it’s International Bubble Tea Day.

First and foremost, although bubble tea is a widely popular beverage, many people are still quite unsure as to what it actually is. Bubble Tea originated in Taiwan back in the 1980s and has made its way to Westernised countries. Although there are many flavours and variations of bubble tea, the basic bubble tea consists of a tea base that is mixed with fruit, fruit juices and milk. The pearls that act as the bubbles in the beverage, are made of tapioca starch which comes from the cassava root. Bubble tea is greatly versatile as it is available in many flavours and can be either served as hot or iced. The flavours are endless with passionfruit, lychee, taro, almond, honeydew, green tea, chocolate and lavender to only name a few.

Bubble tea is slowly, but surely rising in popularity so with that, we explore the best places on the island where you can get your hands on this unique, creamy and quirky beverage.
