In simple terminology, Boba is cassava starch balls. In explicit terminology, the word boba can holistically, maintain a reference to the complete drink-plus-toppings, typically the most popular topping being tapioca pearls (which also are called boba. I understand it's confusing, but stick with me!). The drink all together is also referred to as bubble tea, pearl tea, and tapioca tea; based on what area of the country you're from. As mentioned before, the tapioca pearls, which are also known as "boba," are usually created from cassava starch, a root vegetable from South USA that is generally known as Yuca.
Bubble tea first became popular in Taiwan in the 1980s; however, the original inventor is unknown. Larger tapioca pearls were adapted and quickly replaced the tiny pearls. Immediately after, different flavors, especially fruit flavors, became popular. Flavors could be added using powder, pulp, or syrup to oolong, black or green tea extract that is then shaken with ice in a cocktail shaker. The tea mixture is then poured right into a cup using the toppings in it.
There are various available stores, today, that focus on bubble tea. Some cafés use plastic lids, but even more, authentic bubble tea shops serve drinks utilizing a machine to seal the very best in the cup with plastic cellophane. The latter method allows the tea to become shaken within the serving cup and helps it be spill-free until one is preparing to drink it. The cellophane is then pierced with an oversize straw large enough to permit the toppings to feed.
Today, more flavors of this drink such as black tea and brown sugar have appeared. In Taiwan, people commonly refer to it as pearl milk tea.
