The bubble tea could be traced back to the 1940s. The first tea shop selling shou yao tea was located in Taichung. Because of the humid climate in Taiwan, people usually don't like to drink hot tea, so iced tea becomes the main drink in summer. In Taiwan, people like to have a cup of bubble tea with their dishes.
