In recent times, Porto has seen the emergence of several spaces dedicated to bubble tea. As we’re fans of Asian products and cuisine here, whether it’s the best restaurants or the delicious ramen, we couldn’t resist setting out to discover bubble teaspots in Porto.
But before we go any further. Do you know what this drink is? Originating in Taiwan, it is made from tea and can be combined with fruit juices, milk or coffee. What’s more, part of bubble tea’s success is due to its visual appeal, with the little balls that burst in your mouth.
If you’ve never tried it, take the hint. Because, as well as being a delicious drink, it’s usually part of the anime universe. So you’ll find some truly Instagrammable places where you not only want to sit back and relax, but also take photos.
