BUBBLE TEA IS SHAPING THE FUTURE OF THE ASIAN LGBTQ COMMUNITY

Bubble tea is quite potentially the new Starbucks. On Canal Street, I can waltz in and waltz out of the Starbucks on Centre Street on an almost whim. Meanwhile down the block, at the recently opened Canal Street Food Hall, there’s Boba Guys and they’ve always got a line. Folks from every corner of the globe with palettes as diverse as their area codes, can be found taking selfies with their strawberry matcha lattes, deftly wielding their straws amidst melting ice cubes fighting to suck up every last boba with smiles on their faces. But on a more cellular level, let’s remember where bubble tea comes from and what boba actually is, it’s Asian! The elephant in the room is yellow but no one points it out, assumes it’s Japanese or thinks of it as anything else other than what it is: delicious.
