I always get a matcha from bobatime cause it’s sooooo good. I did read a comment on another thread that said that bobatime has a sweetened and an unsweetened matcha powder. I typically get just the matcha milk tea w/ oat milk (I hope that helps narrow down anything!) If anyone knows, I’d deeply appreciate if you could let me know. I also understand if you can’t reveal due to HQ or whatnot! So no worries :)

Which one are you choosing? 🤔

I passed the interview at my local boba shop, which is rare because I heard it was incredibly hard to get an offer there, especially when so many of my friends applied and got rejected. I start training/work on the 27th, but this is my first job and Im not sure if Ill do a good job or not. How did you guys become a “great” employee or what are some tips that gave you compliments, made time go faster, etc? Thank you!

I’m curious about the way gong cha prepares their drinks, specifically how they sweeten them. is the nutrition information listed on their website/in-store in relation to a full sugar drink? or is it for a 50% sugar drink?
does anyone have any idea about this? I’d like to think a worker might know about these kinds of things, i hope someone can help me out 😅

Ok i just saw someone mix regular jasmine tea from the store (the kind in a plastic bottle in lotte) and vanilla protein and apparently it tastes like m*lly tea? Can someone confirm that this isn’t just hype + ad rev

Is this still good?

When will Starbucks bring the chewy tapioca boba to their menu? I personally don't like the popping boba, but will take the warm, chewy tapioca boba any day.

Idk wtf happened but I got a coco mango boom and it’s not hitting anymore. This has happened twice now. Did they change the recipe? The coconut milk is not the same.

I live in New York.

Cannot find this product any where.

I would like to try milk tea. It's very expensive in shops thoughts so I don't get it from shops because I'm scared I won't like it and it'll be a waste of money

So,

I'm thinking of ordering a custom kit (Bubble Panda) and I'm tempted to try a milk tea again... But I'm quite scared. Last time I made a milk tea at home (taro flavour) from a different brand, it was powdery. I used all the powder in the sachet as I assume I was meant to, and I used the right amount of milk.

Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need to do a certain thing, like shaking it to make it less powdery? Or should I accept powdery at home tea?

Planning on doing up to 100+ different flavors/colorways for this collection (all hand-drawn/rendered), but wanted to start off with the basics/familiar ones.

From left-to-right, top-to-bottom:

• rose milk tea (pink)
• pineapple fruit tea (yellow)
• matcha (green)
• brown sugar milk tea (brown)
• classic black milk tea (brown) (with blue, original signature design)
• strawberry milk tea (pink-red)
• butterfly pea milk tea (blue)
• black sesame milk tea (black)
• thai tea (orange)
• taro (purple)
• almond milk tea (light beige)
• classic black milk tea (brown)

What are some other quintessential flavors you'd like to see added and what is your favorite flavor even if super niche/advanced?

Bought it from Shuyi

Apparently you can get BOGO by bringing any “ball” to HEYTEA on July 19.
It can literally be any ball-shaped item lol.
Haven’t seen a boba promo like this before.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone here as worked as a heytea barista/tearista or even a barista at any boba shops and if they have any advice. I do not really have any experience in making drinks (other than lattes and iced coffees)

uhhhh... today i bought this brand of white tapioca and cooked it as instructed on the package. i used a clean pot and regular tap water. a friend who works at a boba shop said that the pearls arent suppose to turn pink when you cook them. did i overcook it?? did i do something wrong???? if anyone could tell me what is going on here + if this is still safe to eat that'd be much appreciated!!

edit: thank you everyone for letting me know this is sago!! i actually bought this to make mango sago (lol yeah in the name ik) but just called it tapioca to keep with what the english on the bag said. i ended up making a second batch with a clean pot and the same thing happened where it turned pink. i had a bowl of it since it smelled fine, so i guess i'll update if anything goes awry!!

edit #2: i'm perfectly fine nothing happened! still unclear as to why the sago turned pink though!

I've seen a few old posts when I googled this but nobody had the same answers so I'm trying fresh. Anyone have recommendations for a taro powder I can buy and make slushes out of at home?

I've tried a few I found online and only one tasted right to me but it's so unnecessarily expensive for the amount you get (this one).

One I definitely will not get again is this one by Teazy, it was nasty and tasted like old coffee creamer rather than taro at all.

I've heard Bossen and Angel Specialty talked about a bit, does anyone know which of those is more like what they use in boba shops?

Thanks in advance!! 🩵🩵

Hey guys so I've been allergic to milk my whole life and always feel like I'm missing out whenever my friends and I always go out to get boba :( I've lowk always ordered just fruit tea but I'm kinda getting sick of it. Do you know any other options for me? Or mb are there ways to spice up fruit tea a little?

Thanks!!
