Are you a tea lover and cannot function in the morning or after a long day of work without a cup of tea? The tea industry is large and is expected to increased hit over $81.00 billion by 2026.
The industry’s growth has seen households consuming not just black tea but other spiced teas, from chamomile tea to peppermint, masala, cinnamon, oolong, and green teas for various health benefits.
LABoba is promising to spread the love of tea further with its no-cook instant bubbling tea. While delivery for the tea is scheduled for March 2021, the project is still crowdfunding on Kickstarter. It has less than a week to go, giving you enough time to back the project, sit back and wait for your bubbly tea.
Recipe
As mentioned, LABoba tea requires no cooking, which saves you time when in a hurry or just exhausted to light the cooker or kettle and make yourself a cup of tea. All you have to do is follow this simple recipe (provided by the company):
- Pour the tapioca pearls into a glass
- Add 8-times more boiling water than the Boba tea
- Cover the glass with a lid for 2 minutes
- Drain the tapioca pearls and add your preferred amount of sugar
- Add milk tea and ice cubes
- Stir well, and your drink is ready
The chewy tapioca pearls are infused with an aromatic, exotic, and sweet flavor of brown sugar. They also have the below advantages:
- Gluten-free
- Vegan
- Use 100% natural ingredients
- Have no artificial preservatives or colors
But tapioca pearls are not the only toppings you can use for your LABoba tea. Others to consider include:
- Coffee jelly
- Grass jelly
- Raisin
- Taro balls
- Popping boba
- Coconut jelly
- Red beans pudding
With a pledge of just $6.00, you can get a Boba keychain and a DIY recipe for Boba tea delivered in February 2021. But if you are willing to wait until March 2021, you can pledge $35.00 and receive a pack of 10 LABoba instant bubble tea. A pledge of $43.00 will get you the 10 packs of the tea plus 10 toppings of your choice. However, this package is scheduled for April 2021.
The prices are reasonable and quite at par with other instant teas in the market. There are numerous brands with ready products in the market that you can easily get from online retail shops like Amazon. For example, Lipton is quite a common brand with various flavors of instant tea. Other brands to consider include, Qbubble, WuFuYuan, and Bolle.
