Bubble Town Tea House: The First to Introduce Bubble Tea to Bicol
Healthy, authentic, and in a variety of different flavours, Bubble Tea originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. The 'bubble' refers to the froth on the drink after the tea has been shaken with ice, flavoured with syrup, and milk. 'Tapioca balls,' which sit at the base of the drink, add a distinct edge to this popular Southeast Asian Drink.
Whenever visiting the Philippines from Canada, our founder would crave for bubble tea - a popular drink back in Vancouver. As early as 2000, she dreamt of putting up her own Bubble Tea House in Naga City, Bicol - to satisfy her cravings when she'd come home and of course to share her favourite refreshment with everyone here.
Eleven years later, her dream had become a reality. Together with her husband, they trained to become Bubble Tea baristas.
In May of 2011, Bubble Town Tea House opened, making this healthy refreshment available to everyone interested. Find your tea drink of choice at Pavillion 2, Door 1 on Panganiban Drive, Naga City. Open Mondays to Saturdays from 10AM to 9PM and Sundays from 1PM to 9PM.
