Bubble Tea is a unique and refreshing beverage that is revolutionising the way we drink tea. After first finding popularity in 1980s Taiwan, Bubble Tea is on its way to becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Sometimes known as Boba Tea, Pearl Milk Tea or Zhēn Zhū Nǎi Chá, it is served with a thick straw so you can chew on the delicious tapioca pearls that rest at the bottom of the dome shaped cup. Bubble Tea gets its name from the blending and shaking process, allowing the floating bubbles to form at the top of the drink.

Making Bubble Tea couldn’t be easier and the beauty is there is no right or wrong way to make it. A simple combination of shaking powder/syrup, sweetener, creamer and brewed tea/ice brings together this unique and refreshing drink. Experimentation is at the very heart of Bubble Tea. As such, all of our products can be customised to suit the flavour and style that your customers enjoy. Try out new measurements and combinations to produce exciting new blends. Using milkshakes, slushies and smoothies, create a menu that is unique to your brand and business. Product labels display recipe suggestions or you can speak to us about a recipe consultancy service to help you design unique drinks.

While the temperature you serve Bubble Tea is at your discretion, we do not recommend making hot Bubble Tea to prevent any scolding during the blending process, or while being consumed. Milk based teas are best served warm, or cold.

Assam tea is recommended for milk teas, while Jasmine Green tea is ideal for making fruit teas though it is down to personal preference. We encourage experimentation wherever possible to find the perfect blend that your customers will enjoy and return for more.

The use of tea is recommended when making Bubble Tea, as customers typically expect the ingredient due to the product name. If you find a successful alternative that your customers enjoy, then feel free to use the best combination that suits you.

We are constantly evolving and listening carefully to our customer’s feedback. Sometimes products become less popular and we may decide to phase these out for a while. The reverse is also true and we are always adding new and exciting flavours to our range for you and your customers to enjoy.
