Purple Haze

O-CHA Tea Bar crafts a pearl of a drink

Walk around Falls Park holding this purple concoction, and you’re sure to turn some heads. A mixture of tea, taro (a sweet root vegetable), non-dairy creamer, and ice, the taro bubble tea at O-CHA Tea Bar may not be “everyone’s cup of tea,” but those who love it are fanatical about it. Not quite ready to drink a purple root vegetable? Fine, there are many other varieties to try, like strawberry, coconut, vanilla, and peach, in milk and non-milk versions. Just don’t forget to add some tapioca pearls or flavored jellies to get the true bubble-tea experience.
