3. Exploring the World of Blueberries
- To make a cup of blueberry milk tea, you also need to know a bit about them: Blueberries are flowering plants of the Vaccinium genus. These plants originate from North America, mostly found in Asia and Scandinavia. Blueberry bushes come in various sizes, ranging from a few inches to 10 feet. The bushes also produce colorful flowers, which can be white, light pink, red, and sometimes light green. The small blueberries are deep purple in color.
- The main season for blueberries is late spring and early summer. Instead of waiting for the fresh harvest, they produce blueberry syrup so you can enjoy them all year round.
- Being the leading blueberry producer, North America cultivates nearly 90% of the world's blueberries, with the United States and Canada being the largest producers and consumers. The global market is expanding, and Japan, in particular, has become a blueberry-loving nation.
- You can purchase fresh blueberries during the harvest season and year-round blueberry syrup in Vietnam at supermarkets, stores selling imported fruits, or reputable e-commerce websites.
