no special reason, but the concept works for now :) it's just a food fad. someone thought of it one day, set up shop, kids loved it, then a lot of other similar shops open. someday, interest will drop, most of these shops will close and another new food/drink idea will emerge. currently, pearl milk tea is somewhat being marketed as the anti-starbucks.

it's also pretty popular with teenagers around china, taiwan and some other east asian countries. not sure about the us, canada & europe as qataribound says.

zagu is a brand. it's somewhat similar to your ice blended drink or frapuccino without the whipped cream. it has tapioca balls (hence the pearl/bubble name) or some jelly that you sip with a fat straw to chew while drinking

so it's zagu that's coming here? i'm a little disappointed. the heyday of the zagu craze was around 15 years ago. it's virtually an endangered franchise. i was very young when i last bought a zagu drink so i wouldn't know, are they using real tea these days? i get the popularity of the pearl/bubble tea fad in the philippines, but there are lots of better options now. like chatime & happy lemon. they're very popular because they taste really good. i recently discovered from them that rock salt & cheese in your chocolate milk drink make it more delicious ^_^

still, i wish you success and i hope you prove me wrong. i hope zagu here tastes better than the ones back home.

i hope someone opens a taho store here.
