Pearl milk tea or bubble tea is an iced tea mixture with milk. It takes its origin in Taiwan and is of great popularity in Asia as well as in Europe, Canada and the United States. Two other names for it are black pearl tea or tapioca tea. If you have never tried this kind of tea, and order it in some café, do not be surprised when you find black gummy balls of tapioca at the bottom of the cup. The very name of the tea presupposes it.

Nowadays two traditional ice teas are served in the USA, sweetened and sugar-free. In the South people drink sweetened ice tea throughout the year, and in the balance of the states unsweetened or "black" ice tea is served. The start of tea drinking tradition goes back to the late 18th century when tea was firstly grown in South Carolina. Today, it is an inalienable component of American daily life.
