Bubble tea. What a strange concept. Milk, tea, and gelatin balls. Sounds simple enough, but those three ingredients can be combined to do some wonderful things for your taste buds. Like it super sweet? You got it. On a health kick and don’t want the extra calories? You can have that, too. Almost all bubble tea shops let you customize your order to fit your tastes, all while delivering a flavorful and refreshing drink. Luckily for us, there is large Asian population in Columbus, and that means that the bubble tea culture here is alive and well. I’m quite a big fan of bubble tea myself (Nai Cha in Mandarin), so I consider myself a bit of an expert. Here are my favorite places in Columbus to get a nice bubble tea!
