What often makes a great cup of bubble tea are the fresh and quality ingredients like fruits, the tapioca, the jelly, or the teas themselves. Each of these Edmonton bubble tea shops certainly serve fresh ingredients, but many of them also add their own unique twists to the often milky or iced drink, usually poured over tapioca balls (the bubbles).
In Edmonton, the best bubble tea means variety, fun flavours, tradition, innovation, and of course the quality!
