What is in the range.

There are two kinds of product here: drinks that are ready to sell, and popping boba for making drinks.

  • Lady Boba Milk Bubble Tea: Original, Brown Sugar, Taro and Matcha. Milk tea with tapioca balls in a 315ml can, made by Hong Da Ma Food of Taiwan.
  • Rico, from Taiwan: Bubble Milk Tea, Brown Sugar, Taro, Matcha, Honeydew Melon and Thai Flavor, plus Black Tea with Mixed Berries and Boba and Green Tea with Passion Fruit and Boba.
  • Pinshan Popping Boba, from Taiwan: Lychee, Mango, Strawberry, Passion Fruit and Green Apple, each in a 550g and a 950g pack.
  • Sheng Xiang Zhen Lychee Jelly Drink with Bubbles.

Formats and cases.

The Lady Boba and Rico drinks come 24 to a case: Lady Boba at 315ml, Rico at 340ml or 350ml. Pinshan popping boba comes 16 to a case in the 550g pack and eight to a case in the 950g pack.

Every line is ambient. Hong Da Ma gives Lady Boba a shelf life of 24 months at room temperature. It recommends serving the drink chilled and turning the can over two or three times before opening, to spread the pearls.

What to range first.

For a shop, start with the four Lady Boba milk teas. Lady Boba is the bubble tea name buyers search for on this site, and Taro is the flavour they ask for. Add Rico to widen the choice, including its two fruit tea drinks.

For a café, dessert bar or bubble tea counter, look at the Pinshan popping boba and pick flavours to match your menu. The 550g pack suits a counter that is testing demand; the 950g pack suits one that already sells the drinks every day.

Deposit Return Scheme.

Re-turn lists ready-to-drink teas made with dairy as outside the Deposit Return Scheme, and non-dairy tea drinks in cans or PET bottles as inside it. Milk teas and fruit teas can therefore be treated differently, so look for the Re-turn logo on the can and read the Deposit Return Scheme guide.
