Jen: It's usually some version of milk, tea, ice, and flavoring 
blended into a milkshake, except not that thick, more like a drink 
than a shake.  You can get lots of different flavors; I've tried 
coconut, different berries, almond...think that's it.  There are big 
tapioca balls at the bottom and you get a huge straw to suck them up 
as you drink.  Here's a picture and better description:

Try one if you get the chance!
