A new bubble tea cafe has come to Leeds, adding to the numerous spots located across the city. Over the past few years bubble or boba tea has become very popular, if you don't know, bubble tea is a flavoured milk tea (obvious I know) with little flavoured boba - tapioca - pearls at the bottom, complete with some form of topping.
I have never had bubble tea, I've seen it on social media, and in the streets and often thought about trying it but just never have. So in a bid to tick something off a very dull bucket list, I decided to try the new place in the city.
Gong Cha, the latest cafe, opened on Saturday (October 2) and gathered hundreds of people queuing up and into the Merrion Centre. The brand has venues in Manchester, London, Newcastle, Liverpool and now Leeds so it seemed no better time for me to lose my boba virginity.
