Okay d_f, my curiosity is in full manic mode now. I don't think bubble tea is sold around here. Am I going to be able to find it in Arlington/FortWorth/Dallas? You trendy Texans!
Thanks for the info.

Looks exotic, but I donīt think it would be among my favourite drinks. Of course, I canīt say much until Iīve tried it, but I guess I will have to go to Texas. Those teas are unheard of here...
Thanks for the party GIFT!!!!!!!!It was just.....WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I could find "bubble tea" in Austin, but I wouldn't. It just sounds disgusting. Yuck!

Don't worry, the tea isn't disgusting, but the pearls of tapioca are a love it or leave it affair. My customers run about 75% love/25% hate, but for the haters they can choose from 6 different kind of sweet or sour jellies (more crunchy then chewy) or just don't put in anything. And if you don't like teas, try our smoothies- we actually make coconut smoothies out of freshly opened coconuts whose flavor is mind boggling delicious to most Americans whose unappreciative experiences usually involve not liking Mounds/Almond Joy at Halloween or German Chocolate Cake (where do the coconut trees grow in Germany, anyway?).
Can you find bubble tea in Dallas? Sure- I happen to think my shop is the best, but I am in the north east area in Garland's Little Saigon. If you are in Arlington, Movie & Tea is one of the oldest that is still popular, but for a full blown Taiwanese experience go to Bethany, just south of UT Arlington.
In Austin, without a doubt, the best place is Coco's Cafe, though the service isn't what it used to be according to my customers that have visited since the owner built two more shops. I enjoy the one on the drag the most, but it is the smallest, so if you want to bring friends go north to Chinatown or east to Oltorf.

I've often mentioned taking in a deliciouse drink called Tapioca Tea, Tropical Milk Tea with Tapioca balls or Bubble Tea. Some of you have inquired about it, some have expressed wanting to try it - and yet there were others who rather did not fancy the name nor the description of the drink. For those interested (Brightfield: I've finally gotten around to finding a reasonably put definition of the drink) feel free to click on the link(s provided:
