Bubble tea, sometimes referred to as “pearl tea” or “bubble tea”, is a beverage originating from Taiwan, a blend of cold, hot or even just milk tea, with multiple flavors and embellished with little black tapioca balls. Invented in 1980, it has enjoyed a boom in popularity in Europe in recent years. Where can you find it in Brussels?
