Is it Chinese Tea or not? :))
You know I have a student who wants to go to Hong Kong. He had been there once and he told a very strange story about chinese tea)) He said that he ordered a normal tea but they gave him something but not tea, it was something strange with bubbles, he said)) Do you know what he is talking about?))

Question

Answer

Depend on your student find the tea in HongKong.which means south of China I guess maybe it's a kind of chinese–medcine "罗汉果".You can google it and see the picture whether it looks like yours or not. 罗汉果is a medicine but sometimes it can be a tea.and good for your lung.
And you can google "人参乌龙",人参乌龙 looks like a bubble too.but it quite different from 罗汉果, much smaller than it，人参乌龙 is a tradition tea not a medicine.
You know in  China the different place drink different tea,and their are hundreds of tea in China.I can just only remember these two.

Answer

Shevelena is right.Bubble tea, also known as pearl milk tea or boba milk tea, is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in tea shops in Taichung, Taiwan, during the 1980s. Most bubble tea recipes contain a tea base mixed with fruit or milk. Ice-blended versions are usually mixed with fruit or syrup, resulting in a slushy consistency. Most bubble teas come with small chewy tapioca balls (粉圓, fěnyuán), commonly called "pearls" (珍珠, zhēnzhū) or "boba" (波霸, bōbà).
