Bubble tea has taken the world by storm, and bubble tea in Sri Lanka has become increasingly popular.
With many places popping up that specialise in this tea-based drink with tapioca balls, it might be surprising to note that it all started in the 1980s when a woman was trying to entertain herself at a boring staff meeting. Cold tea had already taken off in the streets of Taiwan – inspired by Japanese cold coffee – to which this lovely lady added her tapioca pudding, and enjoyed it immensely. It was so delicious, they decided to add it to the menu, and thus bubble tea was born. It isn’t until more recently though, that entrepreneurs have gotten more inventive with flavours, toppings, and the kinds of bubbles that they serve, that makes it a food craze on its own.
Mostly served cold, the tapioca pearls in it make for an interesting meal – chewy balls to work through as you sip your flavoured tea. The flavour range is vast, and some do away with the tea aspect, in favour of more fruit-based drinks with bubbles.
Mabroc Tea serves up some of the best Ceylon Tea – in Sri Lanka and to the rest of the world. With over two decades of experience in creating, sourcing, and handling a range of tea leaves with care – instant, black and green tea – they recently joined the bubble tea scene, keeping with the trend. What makes them stand out is the fact that every single item on their menu has a base of tea – unlike others who forego it for other flavours – making theirs a true tea experience!
