Boba tea shops fear tapioca shortage may reach Portland May 03 2021 Some bubble tea shops are buying up the supply of tapioca balls before the shortage impacts business. The next time you try to buy bubble tea in Beaverton, you might not find it. Stacey Kwong, who is the chief executive officer of MILK+T in downtown Beaverton, says the bubble tea shop is at risk of running out of the tea-based drink — also known as boba. The drink is made with chewy tapioca balls and comes in a range of flavors. Boba can be a reference to the tapioca balls or the entire drink.
