popping boba

Juice-filled tea balls

Popping boba are small, juice-filled spheres used as a topping for bubble tea and frozen yogurt.

Unlike traditional tapioca boba, which are chewy, popping boba have a thin gel membrane that bursts when bitten, releasing flavored liquid inside.

They come in fruit flavors like mango, strawberry, and lychee: I'll have the green tea with popping boba.
