Boba Tea: The Latin Connection

Have you tried Boba tea? This delicious drink originated in Taiwan and is prepared with pearls made from tapioca, a starch that comes from yucca, also known as mandioca or casava.  

Yucca has a special place in Brazilian gastronomy, where it shines in specialties like farofa, cheese bread, fried yucca and much more. 

Today, there are numerous boba tea specialty stores that offer a huge variety of boba teas made with juice, milk, cream, ice cream, fresh fruits and much more.
