Tag: Tea base

Although pure taro is caffeine-free, most taro boba drinks contain caffeine because they use a tea base. Many shops combine taro with black or green tea. To ensure a decaf taro boba, ask for a non-tea base.

While the boba pearls themselves are caffeine-free, the caffeine content in a boba fruit tea depends entirely on its tea base. Many fruit teas are made with a green or black tea base, meaning they contain caffeine, but there are also delicious herbal and fruit-infused blends that are naturally caffeine-free.
