US suffers bubble tea drought as Taiwanese tapioca shipments back up in ports
Taiwan’s national drink, pearl milk tea, has taken the world by storm ( ) in recent years, and it is the addition of tapioca balls ( ) — also known variously as “pearls,” “boba” and “bubbles” — that creates the beverage’s unique flavor and textural ( ) experience. However, foreign media are reporting that logistical ( ) delays have caused both Taiwan-produced tapioca balls and tapioca powder from Thailand to be stuck inside shipping containers ( ) as the shipments await customs ( ) approval ( ).
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc ( ) on the global shipping industry, goods and commodities ( ) shipped from Asia, including Taiwan and Thailand, have become held up at US ports, caught up in a backlog ( ) of unprocessed ( ) shipments. This has led to shortages ( ) of some raw materials ( ), causing many US drinks vendors ( ) to grumble ( ) nonstop ( ). One such vendor has fumed ( ) that with no tapioca balls, many customers will not set foot ( ) inside the shop to buy a drink.
Oliver Yoon, global vice president of sales and marketing at Boba Direct, a pearl milk tea product supplier ( ) based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, US, says that about one month ago the company began to experience shortages of raw materials. Yoon adds that it is a nationwide ( ) crisis ( ) and says he expects the situation will not begin to improve until the end of the month.
Tea & Others shop owner Alex Ou says some customers will not buy a drink if the shop has run out of ( ) boba, adding: “They are literally ( ) here for the boba.” Ou says he hopes that customers can be patient, since the shortage of raw materials is only temporary ( ). Nonetheless, it is understandable that this is a depressing ( ) time for many businesses, adds Ou.
According to California-based supplier US Boba Co, 99 percent of boba comes from overseas ( ), and although the company has a boba factory in the US, they are still reliant ( ) on imported tapioca starch ( ). According to reports, in addition to bubble milk tea vendors, other US businesses are also suffering shortages. Starbucks has reported it is experiencing shortages of cups and sugar syrups ( ), while the pandemic has also caused shortages of home fitness ( ) equipment, ice skates and furniture.
因台灣珍珠原料未到 美國陷入珍珠奶茶荒
疫情導致全球航運大亂,一些台灣、泰國等亞洲國家貨物卡在美國港口排隊無法入關,導致珍珠奶茶「珍珠」的原料短缺,讓不少美國飲料店業者叫苦連天,更有業者抱怨,沒有「珍珠」讓許多顧客不願上門買飲料。
綜合外媒報導,近年風靡全球的台灣飲料「珍珠奶茶」,在飲料中添加珍珠創造獨特風味與口感,但因為運輸延誤,來自台灣的珍珠以及來自泰國用來製造珍珠的木薯粉,通通卡在船上貨櫃中等待進關。
位於芝加哥的珍奶產品供應商「Boba Direct」銷售副總奧利佛(Oliver Yoon)說,大概在一個月前就出現原料短缺情形,這是一場全國性的風暴,最快要等到四月底才能紓緩。
「Tea & Others」飲料店老闆艾利克斯(Alex Ou)則表示,如果沒有珍珠,一些顧客根本不願上門購買飲料,「他們都是為珍珠而來」。艾利克斯希望消費者能更有耐心。原料短缺只是暫時的,然而對其他業者來說,這件事的確讓人感到沮喪。
加州珍珠供應商「美國波霸公司」(US Boba Co.)表示,美國有百分之九十九的珍珠來自國外進口,即便他們在美國有自己的工廠,仍需要依靠國外進口木薯粉。報導指,除了珍珠奶茶外,星巴克也出現杯子和糖漿短缺情形,甚至健身器材、溜冰鞋、家具等其他產品,幾乎都受到影響。

Happy Mid-Autumn!!! 🥮🌝
How many mooncakes have you eaten by now?! 😝

The festival is intricately linked to legends of Chang E, the mythical Moon Goddess of Immortality. According to the Liji, an ancient Chinese book recording customs and ceremonies, the Chinese Emperor should offer sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. The 15th day of the 8th lunar month is the day called "Mid-Autumn". The night on the 15th of the 8th lunar month is also called "Night of the Moon".
Because of its central role in the Mid-Autumn festival, mooncakes remained popular even in recent years. For many, they form a central part of the Mid-Autumn festival experience such that it is now commonly known as 'Mooncake Festival'.

🥮 mooncake (simplified Chinese: 月饼) is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节). The festival is for lunar appreciation and moon watching, when mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family gatherings while celebrating the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four most important Chinese festivals. (Source: Wikipedia)
