Illustrated DaoHer BOBA flavor guide: Classic, Oat Milk, Crème Brûlée, Brown Sugar and Matcha

A Taiwanese tea tradition with a playful twist

Bubble tea emerged in Taiwan in the 1980s, bringing tea and distinctive chewy texture into one drink. Its appeal is as much about the experience as the flavor: sipping tea, enjoying the pearls and sharing a break with friends.

Rather than one fixed recipe, bubble tea is a family of drinks. Black tea, milk tea and fruit tea interpretations give people many ways to find a favorite.

The pleasure of flavor and texture

Fresh tea-shop bubble tea commonly uses tapioca pearls. Other interpretations use different pearl ingredients; DaoHer BOBA uses konjac-based pearls. The ingredients and texture are not identical, so it is worth knowing which style you are choosing.

Brown sugar, matcha and dessert-inspired milk tea flavors add another layer of discovery. A favorite drink can feel familiar while a new flavor offers something different.

From the tea shop to everyday life

Ready-to-drink canned boba offers another way to enjoy a bubble tea moment without visiting a tea shop. DaoHer BOBA is our interpretation of Taiwan's boba culture for everyday routines in the U.S.

Whether you choose a freshly prepared drink or a can, the shared idea is simple: make time for a joyful tea break.
