I would say the first time I have ever heard of Bubble Tea was when I visited one of the nearby malls that are about an hour away from the Berkshires. I will say though depending on the flavor you get, bubble tea has a very interesting but delicious taste to it! Before we get into the closest location that's selling this Asian based drink, what is bubble tea?

According to en.wikipedia.org, Bubble Tea always referred to as pearl milk teabubble milk teatapioca milk teaboba tea, or boba is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s. It most commonly consists of tea accompanied by chewy tapioca balls ("boba" or "pearls"), but it can be made with other toppings as well, such as grass jellyaloe verared bean, and popping boba. It has many varieties and flavors, but the two most popular varieties are pearl black milk tea and pearl green milk tea ("pearl" for the tapioca balls at the bottom).

Where can this drink be found in the Berkshires?
