Beautiful Bubble Tea – How To Spot It

In a previous post we looked at the 5 ways to spot a beautiful bubble tea. So here are 3 more ways to spot a beautiful pearl tea.

There's no doubt that eye-catching milk-teas are highly Instagrammable. The bright colours, distinctive pearls, and endless creative combinations that make beautiful bubble tea are key to its success. Spotting a brightly coloured boba shop piques the interest of passing customers and can be a great way of encouraging passing customers.

But how do you spot a great boba? At first glance they may all look the same, but in truth a keen eye and attention to detail can help you spot the best and the brightest (and tastiest!).

So here we are, three more ways of spotting a beautiful bubble tea.

1 – Visibly Striking

This has to be top of our list. A great boba should be eye-catching and pleasing to look at, just take a look through Pinterest for inspiration. There are two main visual types of bubble tea:

  • Milk teas – pale and softly coloured with a striking contrast to the dark black tapioca balls
  • Fruity teas – brightly coloured with contrasting colours and flavours

While there is an infinite choice of boba tea ingredients, when running a bubble tea shop it is imperative to make sure every boba that leaves your shop is beautiful to look at. Whether it's a bright and fruity sweet treat or a traditional milky dessert drink, we have found that if it looks great… it usually tastes great too!

2 – A Busy Shop

Walking past any busy shop instantly arouses interest in a potential customer. And boba tea shops are no different. Before you even get to select your boba from the menu a bustling tea shop is a great indicator of good boba.

With the rise of bubble tea in the UK and more and more shops are opening across the country, a bustling shop is a sure-fire indicator of a great boba.

3 – Two Chew Pearls

Tapioca pearls are what makes boba, boba. They are a unique and tasty treat that make bubble tea a unique drink experience.

In our experience it is the quality of the tapioca pearls that are the best indicator of the quality of a boba. The best pearls should be soft to chew and should be chewed twice before swallowing.

Why This Matters
