In my world, this has been a fact since 2004.* But I didn’t have a blog then and only the people within earshot heard me yappin about this delicious drink. However, I’ve finally revisited my favorite supplier of boba tea (the good folks at TT’s Bubble Lounge* on Cary by VCU) and it was just like yester-year – same awesome slurping satisfaction.

I want to tell you it’s a beautiful periwinkle color, but it’s not. It’s lavendar, but I look beyond that (preferring blue to purple). What gets me is the seriously rich flavor and texture of the taro slush accompanied by the whimsical little tapioca balls that fly up the straw for a brief bounce around in the mouth. Are you ready to go and try this yet? Don’t worry about the weather. They’ll serve you some yakisoba if you need to warm up.

*maybe it was 2005

*check out the reviews at the link where customers heap praise on TT by comparing it to the bubble teas of the world. Right here in Richmond. Who’dve thunk it?
