I've never liked the bubble (boba/tapioca/whatever) tea. Yes...I'm Chinese-American..

I often go to these places with my Asian friends to hang out, and they keep getting me to try different boba drinks. My friends have taken me to Lollicup as well as smaller chains and independent places in LA and Orange County, but I've just never really liked this drink. Like phillygold, I find the teas themselves fairly good, but the tapoica balls pretty gross.

I never go to these places unles my friends want to go, but I'll just order the tea without the tapoica balls.
