Just when you think you’ve tasted all the bubble tea variations in the market, a new trend pops up to prove you wrong.

Since we’re all staying at home, we imagine that this may be the future of our beloved milk tea. You can probably buy several from the grocery and keep them in a freezer while working from home.

True to its namesake, when you open the container it mimics the consistency of actual ice cream.

The future of boba tea?

Many bubble tea fans were left disappointed after their favourite stalls closed due to ‘Circuit Breaker’. While we expect stores to gradually reopen, many have contemplated the future of boba tea which often requires several minutes of queuing.

Thanks to the innovation of I-Mei foods, buying frozen bubble tea in advance to store them in our freezers could be possible in the near future.
