Kettle down, Austin, it's going to be a brew-tea-ful day.

Don't know what boba is? We're happy to introduce you to your new favorite drink. Originating in Taiwan in the early 1980s, boba or bubble tea traditionally consists of sweetened milk tea with floating tapioca pearls.

City Editor Figi here. It always seems like finding a comprehensive list of boba joints is tea-dious when I'm in the mood for a chewable drink, which is always. Bookmark this page for the next time you need to make a boba run — you'll thank me later. I added my order to a few of my favorite spots on the list.
