When Sharon and I see something unique to eat or drink, we have to try it. While cooling off in the mall from the 113 degree heat in Phoenix, we came across the Boba Tea Company. We were intrigue and had to try it. First, you have to pick the tea you want and that wasn't easy. There was so many to choose from. I ended up trying My Thai with green apple bobas. The bobas are small round balls that bursts in your mouth and are full of flavor. They give you a fat straw big enough for the bobas to flow through mixed in with the tea. It was so delicious. Here are the many combinations and flavors:   http://www.bobateacompany.com/menu/
