Boba tea
Continued from A11
As the story goes, a woman
was sitting in a staff meeting
and had a dessert called fen
yuan, a sweetened tapioca
pudding, with her. She de-
cided to pour the tapioca into
her iced tea — and boba tea
was born.
Since 2018, at least 32 boba
tea shops have opened in the
Portland metropolitan area,
giving the region 55 shops in
total — not including restau-

major chain at the start of
2019, when Taiwanese boba
powerhouse Ding Tea arrived
in Lents.
The growing field of com-
petitors hasn’t stopped more
shops from opening, even
during the pandemic. Several
shop owners said the shut-
down has not affected them as
much as other food establish-
ments, primarily because of

boba shops’ takeout model.
Another T4 Tea for You
location recently opened
on NW 23rd Avenue, join-
ing existing franchise out-
lets in Clackamas, Bethany
and Beaverton. Like many
of the major boba players,
the T4 franchise began in
Taiwan in 2004, but it has a
much smaller presence in
the United States than other
chains.
Koon said the target audi-
ence for boba is mainly peo-
ple under age of 40, but it’s
something more and more
people are still learning about.
With the endless possi-
bilities for re-invention and
creative presentation, boba
has also found explosive pop-
ularity on Instagram. Fans
can’t seem to resist sharing the
brightly colored drinks with
assorted toppings served in
mason jars, light bulb cups,
with soft-serve and over waf-
fles.
“Boba tea is becoming a
culture for a younger genera-
tion,” Koon said. “People taste
it one time, they’re open to
more.”

Benefits
Continued from A11
A decade of dysfunction at
the employment department
prevented Oregon from adopt-
ing a new computer system.
The old technology proved ut-
terly incapable of handling the
flood of benefits claims and

that are already installed on
the device. To date, such apps
have been free to track iPhone
users automatically unless peo-
ple take the time and trouble to
prevent the snooping.
Apple originally planned
to released the anti-tracking
feature in September, but de-
layed it. Facebook spent part of
the delay blasting Apple for a
change that it says could make
it difficult for smaller apps
to survive without charging
consumers. At the same time,
Facebook has acknowledged to
investors that its own ad reve-
nue could also be hurt.
On the product front, Apple
is rolling out new iMacs with
better cameras and speakers
for improved video meetings
and sound and new iMac key-
boards with the same finger-
print ID sensor that unlocks
iPhones and iPads.
The latest iPad Pros will
work on ultrafast 5G wireless
networks that are still being
built out.
new federal programs that ac-
companied the pandemic last
year.
While Oregon doesn’t expect
to finish its computer upgrade
until 2025, the employment
department has made major
changes in how it handles ben-
efits claims during the pan-
demic and has paid out more
than $8.6 billion in benefits in
the last 13 months. It now pro-
cesses more than 99% of new
claims within seven days.
However, it often takes sub-
stantially longer for actual pay-
ments to go out, and Oregon
continues to labor whenever it
has to adapt to changes in fed-
eral programs.

Apple had previously only
said that the update would be
available in the spring. A sim-
ilar software update is coming
out for iPads as well.
The new privacy tool could
drain billions of dollars of rev-
enue from apps such as Face-
book, which rely on following
people around on iPhones to
collect personal information
that helps them sell targeted
ads.
That feature, called App
Tracking Transparency, will
force apps to obtain permis-
sion before collecting such
surveillance data, even those
