About Bubble Tea
Bubble tea, or boba tea, exploded from Taiwan's night markets to global fame, and now it's easy to recreate at home with our curated selection. Start with premium black or rainbow tapioca pearls – these chewy delights are quick-cooking and hold their bounce even after hours in your drink. Pair them with our range of tea bases like classic black milk tea powder, matcha green tea, or fruity options such as taro or strawberry for that signature creamy texture.

We've got syrups in popular flavours like brown sugar, honeydew, and passionfruit to dial up the sweetness just right. For convenience, grab a full bubble tea kit with shakers, straws, and pre-measured pouches – ideal for beginners or party prep. All our products are sourced from trusted Asian suppliers, ensuring authentic taste without artificial aftertastes.

Whip up a classic: brew strong tea, add milk and syrup, cook pearls separately, then layer in a tall glass with ice. Experiment with pairings – matcha boba with mochi for dessert vibes, or classic with popcorn chicken for a snack sesh. Store pearls dry in a cool cupboard post-cooking in syrup for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Whether you're a boba newbie or pro, our bubble tea essentials deliver that Instagram-worthy slurp every time. Quality ingredients mean less waste and more fun – perfect for family treats or solo indulgences on rainy UK days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cook tapioca pearls for bubble tea?

Bring water to a rolling boil (ratio 10:1 water to pearls), add pearls, stir, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until chewy. Rinse under cold water, then soak in a brown sugar syrup for 15 minutes to prevent sticking. They're best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in syrup in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

What's the difference between black and white tapioca pearls?

Black pearls are dyed with caramelised brown sugar for a richer flavour and darker hue, while white ones are milder and often used in fruit teas. Both offer the same signature chewiness central to bubble tea.

Are your bubble tea products suitable for vegans?

Many items like tapioca pearls and fruit syrups are naturally vegan, but check labels for milk tea powders which may contain dairy. We stock plant-based alternatives like oat milk powders for fully vegan boba.

Can I make bubble tea without a kit?

Absolutely – all you need is loose tea, pearls, syrup, milk, and ice. Our individual ingredients let you customise endlessly, saving money on kits if you're making it regularly.

How long do cooked pearls last?

Uncooked pearls keep for months in a sealed bag. Once cooked, store in simple syrup in the fridge for 1-2 days max to retain texture; freeze dry ones for longer storage.
