How dare you Philistines insult Boba!

Boba itself does not contain any fruit. They are balls made from tapioca powder that you put in various drinks. The most common is to put them in various flavors of tea.

And you people are just discovering this? It's been around for years and years.

Someone else on this thread was under that misconception.

If I may make a recommendation for your next boba adventure: try the milk teas, if they have them. And anything lychee flavored.
