Yes.

Flavored tea (there are a kazillion flavors. I like taro, sweet, plus it's purple). It comes with milk (optional) but what makes it "bubble" tea are tapioca pearls. These are .50 caliber balls of tapioca mixed in with the tea that settle to the bottom of the cup. You drink it with a straw about the size of your forefinger. When you draw a pearl or two or eight into the straw as you drink it goes popopopop in your mouth. The pearls are chewy and add a very interesting texture to the drink. Here's a nice intro. I think sweet tea would go well with the pearls too.

They don't have boba/pearl/bubble tea in GA?
