Explanation of Bocha and the orgin of Boba


The name "Bocha" is the combination of the tapioca balls in the drinks which are called as “Boba,” and the translation of “Cha,” meaning tea in Japanese. These chewy tapioca balls are consumed along with the beverage through a wide straw. Bubble tea is especially popular in many East Asian and Southeast Asian regions such as Taiwan, Brunei, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia.

    Ah...now I know where the Bo comes from.

    BTW, 'CHA' is also tea in both Taiwan and Mandarin Chinese.

    Oh! and apparently CHA is also tea in Korean! I suppose CHA is the universal Asian word for tea, lol :)
