Let me take you in the history of Jasmine milk tea.
Jasmine pearls:
There are a lot of stories behind Jasmine milk tea (boba tea) but the idea is the same; infusion of Jasmine pearls and enhancing its taste with milk and sugar
Jasmine milk tea with tapioca balls was firstly introduced in the late 80s. It started in Taiwan as tea is a famous time pass in Taiwan. Boba culture has spread around the whole US now. Most people who took interest in it saw it as an emerging business venture which had the potential to spread across America. It was first introduced in the US by BOBA GUYS in 2011.
Jasmine milk tea is made from tapioca balls which are commonly made from powder and considered as carbs. These balls are chewable and so addictive that people feel fun to have tapioca balls inside their mouth while having tea.
Silent Tricks to enhance Jasmine Milk Tea:
ü The taste of Jasmine milk tea depends upon the quality of Jasmine pearls. If you take pearls of old leaves, it will give a sharp taste while pearls of younger leaves give a creamy taste. Instead of using Jasmine Pearls, you can also useChunhao (jasmine tea brand)Jasmine milk tea. But if you do use jasmine pearls to make Jasmine milk tea make sure that they are purely scented because it is added in a lot of Bailan (to cut cost) it will result in ruining the perfect pure sweet aroma of Jasmine milk tea.
ü To make jasmine milk tea, the most important step is to boil tapioca balls and then cool it down. If it is hard then It will ruin the tea.
ü There are also ways to enhance the health benefits of Jasmine milk tea such as, to use raw cane sugar instead of white sugar, it is a tonic for the spleen.
ü Another important ingredient is milk preferably whole milk and full cream milk. People who are lactose intolerant can use plain rice milk or soy milk to strengthen that taste of Jasmine milk tea.
ü There is no nutritional value of jasmine milk tea, as tapioca balls are only carbohydrates, mostly factory-made. It is more like fun and treats, not to fulfil any health deficiency.
Tea Fermentation:
The main key difference in tea making is neither location nor plant itself but it’s level and style of the fermentation process.
There are 300 components in a tea leaf. These components interact with each other in bioactivities. The result may be shown as 500 different tastes, textures, aromas, and health effects. If plucked leaves are mishandled, and there is uncontrolled oxidation, it will result in the poor quality of tea and ruin its taste.
