Bubble tea is a beverage of Tawianese origin that is popular throughout Asia and gaining popularity in the West. In the West the term usually refers to Pearl Milk Tea. In Taiwan, "Bubble Tea", a literal translation of a Chinese term, refers to a modern method of beverage preparation; to efficiently and homogenously mix various ingredients in these drinks (e.g., sugar, powdered milk, tea, and ice), drink makers often shake the tea up as bartenders do with cocktails. Thusly, prepared, a layer of foam forms on the surface, and any tea is prepared can be called bubble tea. After Pearl Milk Tea was bought to non-Asian countries, it was given the name "bubble tea." Since the most notable difference between bubble tea and the other tea is the tapioca at the bottom of the drink, some assumed that the "bubble" in "bubble tea" referred to these pearls, though the frothy layer created from shaking the drink is what gives "foam" (or bubble) tea" its name. The pearls in "pearl milk tea" however, do refer to the tapioca "pearls".
