ICYMI, yesterday’s Google Doodle was all about celebrating bubble tea aka boba, the refreshing tea-based drink that’s been popping up everywhere and is loved by millions around the world. The interactive doodle was featured on the Google homepage on Monday, January 29, and it allowed users to take part in the fun and make their own bubble tea in what seemed like a very short teaser of a boba cafe simulation kind of game.
Craving for bubble tea? Here’s where you can find the best ones in and around Atlanta.
Kung-Fu Tea
Address: 925 Battery Ave SE Suite 1100 (Inside PH’East)
Hours: Mon-Sun, 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM
If you’re a newbie who’s in the market for some bubble tea that’s sure to taste yummy, try Kung Fu Tea’s take on the classic boba, Kung Fu Milk Tea. This drink is made with freshly brewed black tea with a creamy spin. It’s rather basic (though still really tasty) which is why it’s perfect for those who have yet to hop on the bubble tea trend. It’s customizable, too, so you can add things like oreo, grass jelly, and many other toppings to make it more exciting. Kung Fu Tea is the largest milk tea brand in the US with over 350+ locations all over the country so, if you find something you like here, you can share the experience with out-of-state friends and family and they can try it themselves at their local Kung Fu Tea cafe as well!
