🤔 About Taiwanese Milk Tea

Taiwanese Milk Tea, also known as bubble tea, is a popular beverage that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. It typically consists of black tea, milk, and tapioca pearls, but there are many variations and flavors available. It has gained popularity not only in Asia but also in the Western world, and is often enjoyed as a refreshing and indulgent treat.

One of the key ingredients in Taiwanese Milk Tea is black tea, which contains caffeine. This gives the drink its energizing properties, but also means it should be consumed in moderation.

Each 16 fl oz serving of Taiwanese Milk Tea contains approximately 151 mg of caffeine, 299 calories, and 38 gm of sugar. This makes it a high-calorie and high-sugar beverage, so it's important to be mindful of consumption, especially if you have dietary restrictions.
