A Bubble Tea Theme Park Is Coming To Japan, So Goodbye Forever Aus
Bubble tea is having a moment. Everywhere you look it’s bubble tea, bubble tea. And now Japan is taking our obsession one step further and opening Tokyo Tapioca Land, an entire theme park dedicated to the sweet drink.
The limited-edition theme park will be taking over the front of Tokyo’s Harajuku Station and turning the space into a haven of boba, a worship site of jelly, a paradise of tapioca.

Bubble tea, the concoction made from tea, milk, sugar and toppings like tapioca balls, popping boba or fruit jelly, originated in Taiwan and has since pretty much taken over the world. Sydney recently welcomed Gotcha Fresh Tea, a new luxe-as-hell bubble tea chain that serves the drink in flavours like red bean and honey dew, but even offers teas made with cheese, salted egg, tiramisu foam and collagen.
