Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Over here in Asia, it has always been referred to as bubble tea, from the literal translation of 'pao pao cha'. When it caught on in the west and took on the name of boba, it was a source of personal confusion for me, as 'bo ba', as rendered in hanyu pinyin, could meanssomething quite different.
