Living in the Bay Area, it's weird to hear people calling boba a fad. Rather, I'm seeing trends pop up within boba, like brown sugar and cheese foam.

Yeah I see this a lot, too.
Haven't figured out if it's a fad or an evolution.
Give me the OG boba nai cha any day.
Love 2 suck the Boba.
The local chain here has a fucking ton of options but I most enjoy the Thai tea with plain Boba.

I love the different flavored popping bubbles. Having a mango boba on a hot day is an instant way to bring a smile to my face.
Not sure why people still think this is a fad. Go to any heavily Asian populated area and you're guaranteed to have a lot of these stores still in good business.
Ten Ren branded hot milk teas are great. 85C isn't bad either. Not too many places offer the hot versions, though.
I don't have any "flavors" to recommend you. For me, a good hot milk tea is perfect.
I only really stick to assam (regular milk tea flavor), jasmine, or oolong. I don't drink much of the super sweet/fruity/synthetic ones.
trending again? where im from its been a staple since at least 2000. and thats here in the US.
Recently (within the last year or so) been going to a place called Tea Top that opened up a branch around where I live. Unique perk to this place compared to the others is that they offer more specific, Taiwanese sourced tea flavors such as Alpine Green or Sun-Moon Lake Red. While good cold, they become super fragrant when I get them hot, and I like it during winter.

Tes Top is good! The taste of the alpine tea is really unique, and tastes great milky.
Yes, the legit places will usually have scales by percentage on sugar and sometime ice levels.
It is. My mom gets hers with no sugar and grass jelly since she's pre-diabetic. (she then takes a few sips then passes the rest off to Dad)
Huh. I might need to check out a new spot or something, then. The ones I've been to didn't have that option.
They should always have that option. You might just need to ask them.
