The Boba Book

A beautifully photographed and designed cookbook and guide to the cultural phenomenon that is boba, or bubble teafeaturing recipes and reflections from The Boba Guys tea shops.

Andrew Chau and Bin Chen realized in 2011 that bobathe milk teas and fruit juices laced with chewy tapioca balls from Taiwan that were exploding in popularity in the Stateswas still made from powders and mixes. No one in the U.S. was making boba with the careful attention it deserved, or using responsible, high-quality ingredients and global, artisanal inspiration. So they founded The Boba Guys: a chic, modern boba tea shop that has now grown to include fourteen locations across the country, bringing bubble tea to the forefront of modern drinks and bridging cultures along the way.

Now, withThe Boba Book, the Boba Guys will show fans and novices alike how they can make their (new) favorite drink at home through clear step-by-step guides. Here are the recipes that people line up forfrom the classics like Hong Kong Milk Tea, to signatures like the Strawberry Matcha Latte and the coffee-laced Dirty Horchata. For the Boba Guys, boba is Taiwanese, its Japanese, its Mexican, its all that and morewhich means its all-American.
