The benefits of Bubble Tea

Tapioca, also called "Pearls of Japan" is the starch of the cassava root, it grows in Asia, South America, Africa and the West Indies. With a large straw you can drink your exotic tea and eat this starch. Don't stop at its rubbery appearance and neutral taste. It can be an ally for those who are preparing to go to the beach on a diet. Being part of the starchy family, it will help you calm your hunger with its satiating power. In addition, Bubble Tea is the ideal drink for those of you who are regularly active in sports, as it is rich in carbohydrates.
