What is Bubble Tea?

Bubble Tea is a pop and playful drink originally from Taiwan. The recipe is simple and offers endless variations: tea, fruit pearls or tapioca, syrup or honey, and occasionally milk. Simply play with different flavours and ingredients to create recipes as you wish. Bubble Tea is a refreshing and indulgent drink. Sweet, fruity, tangy... vary the pleasures! Fruit pearls or tapioca pearls add an original and fun dimension to the experience. One requirement though: the use of XXL straws to let the pearls through.

Carefully selected ingredients

It is not always easy to find the necessary ingredients to make a homemade bubble tea: rare, industrial formats, too sweet, too chemical. The current offering is not very developed and not always high-quality.

Thus, we have attached particular importance to the quality of the elements in our Bubble Tea pack. The tea, like the majority of teas offered at Phileas Lounge, is organic. The fruit pearls are made using French syrup. Produced in Brittany, with no artificial colourings or flavours, they offer a genuine taste experience. Finally, we decided to use this DIY Kit to introduce you to an artisan syrup made in France with no artificial colouring. It brings an extra touch of fruitiness and indulgence to your Bubble Tea recipes, which we are sure you will enjoy.

That is also the advantage of homemade Bubble Tea: you know exactly what is inside – and here, it’s only the good stuff!
