However, 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 spaces that are truly instagrammable where you can not only sit back and relax, but also take pictures.

Bonboncha
Bonboncha was one of the first bubble tea brands in Porto to reach busier areas outside the city center. Today, with several establishments up and running, it was Bonboncha in the Galeria Comercial Campus São João that took the first step towards expansion in the north of the country.
