Bobba Jelly milk tea

Milk tea products has taken generation 2000 by storm. I personally have encountered my first milk tea product when I was in college studying at the University of Santo Tomas. To be honest, at my first experience of having one was quite memorable. It is because I compared its taste with metal, not that I have tasted one already but it really does (especially the after taste). Although it was for free then since my friend just treated me to taste it, I told myself what is it with this drink that a lot of students buy it regularly, I mean like getting addicted on drinking it.
The name of the store was "Simple life" turned "Simple line" for your information (FYI) only.
But guess what happened next, I suddenly craved for it after like a few days. And from then on, I was drinking more milk and more tea ever in my life. I was the one who even encourage and invite my college friends now to buy them HAHA! Although we still do not know what it contains that make every student crazy about it, that even UST doctors have scheduled purchase for them - Rumors then on spread that they are highly good for your health and at the same time tastes good. The news about this product spread like fire via word of reliable mouths that starts to mark its history in many lives. 
Funny as it seems, the internet describes Milk tea simply as tea mixed or combined with milk. The definition is technically true although for me it is too simple. As the product evolves, the milk and the tea is now combined with a lot of ingredients and add-ons making it hard to resist.
As I encounter a lot (I mean A LOT!) of new milk tea shops popping out from everywhere, Bobba Jelly caught my attention from the rest.
"Bobba Jelly is very popular in Taiwan, it is considered the original Bubble there! With its frothy and sweet looking bubbles plus its chewy pearls, it is the refreshing drink to experience!"
