Its really big here in Texas

never heard of it. I personally love hot mint tea.

Never heard of it, and I'm from Louisiana, with many relatives that live in Houston, Austin, and Kerville, Texas.

Heard of it , but I have no idea from where :?

Never heard of it and I'm even a big tea drinker and in Texas. >_>

At the moment I'm having a nice cup of Apple Spice Tea -edit- And about to make a pot of Provence Tea: rooibos, rosechip, black cuurants, rose leaves, lavender, raisins, red currants, rose petals, and blueberries.

california. had it since more than 10 years ago, and popular since 8 years ago. friend got 3 stores in SF alone (the one he owns, not the other ones around the corner and down the street, etc. etc.)

I could be wrong, but I believe it is called "Bubble Tea" here, and it is not particularly popular but is growing in popularity regularly ...

several names: bubble tea, bo-ba tea, and tapioca tea.

In Tintin there's a general named Tapioca but other than that, never heard of it.

Southern California....in asian areas, there are more tea shops than there are Starbucks.
