The Meaning of Boba


In Boulder the other day we strolled around a wonderfully pleasant Pearl Street dressed in its Christmas finery when we came upon a sign for "Tea and Boba".  A quick check revealed that none of us knew what "boba" is.... so in we went.  

Tucked in the back of the store was the coolest little tea garden with tables low to the ground.  We removed our shoes and found an available table with comfy cushions on the floor.  We all selected a flavored tea from the extensive menu and it was served in individual brightly decorated tea pots.  We sat chatting quietly, sipping tea as those around us read books or conducted business transactions involving writing high-tech computer programs.  It was a setting where a by-gone era from a distant place met today's energetic needs with both grace and ease.  

I've decided I'm not going to tell you what "boba" is.  Perhaps someday you'll have an impromptu and delightful afternoon on your quest to discover the meaning of Boba.
