From teas and pearls to fructose machines and cup-sealing machines, Taipec is your go to bubble tea supplier. And in our travels we have had the pleasure of sampling some of Manchester's best teas. So, let's take a tour.
1 – Deansgate
Deansgate is the sprawling area in the west of the city clustered around the Deansgate road. Famous for its nightlife, bars, and cafes, it was the natural place for bubble tea enterprises to open. Offering a different type of refreshment and a relaxing place to meet, this is the first place you should stop on a northern boba tour. When choosing a boba make sure you take in the full range options. Deansgate has a plethora of places to try and we recommend them all!
2 – The Northern Quarter
The northern quarter is the bohemian district in the north of the city that is home to some of the trendiest spots. After Deansgate it is the next best spot to pick up a boba in the city. There are over a dozen boba shops in the kilometre square area of the northern quarter, and in-keeping with the alternative vibe of the area, this is where you will find some of the wildest bobas in town.
3 – The Universities
Next up on our list is something a little bit different. Manchester is the second largest university city in the UK and boasts over 100,000 students, many of whom are international. Boba is a favourite of university students and with such a sizable student population it is no surprise that bubble tea has exploded in popularity. Spread throughout the city are 5 large universities and around each one is a cluster of boba shops catering to the student population. Looking for an adventurous boba, check out these university areas. You won't be disappointed!
