Boba teas are taking the world atm. I’m betting my hand that starbucks will have them at some point in time. But it’s really sweet!

  Which is interesting. I lived through 2 bubble tea hypes in Germany already, and they all just lasted only a year. Wouldn't have thought that I came back a third time now.

    I think it's far more established in the US (assuming the OP found it on the west coast where it's usually called "boba"), and isn't a fad anymore. You can find it anywhere from dedicated fancier boba cafes with their own twists to local restaurants that serve some East Asian cuisine even if bubble tea isn't local to that cuisine.

  Most boba places I've been to let you select a percentage of sweetness. But I agree, its not something you could have many "pours" of in the same sitting (like e.g. beers).

  Which has both sugar and caffeine depending on the tea used.
