Who doesn't like Boba? The boba tea flavor is addictive, across many different continents. I personally am a big fan of all things boba flavored. Wherever I travel, I'd love to try their local boba tea shop, from Beijing to Taipei, from Tokyo to Austin, from Paris to Anchorage, even in a small city called Punta Arenas in southern Chile. Boba is for sure one of the flavors that can form bonds across different cultures.
A Chocolate Bar That Captures the Essence of Boba Tea
Our boba tea chocolate bar has been making waves since May when Wirecutter featured it in their AAPI Heritage Month snack recommendations. Here's what they had to say:
"We've tasted a lot of boba- or tea-flavored snacks in the last couple years—and we're not mad about that—but they can be hit or miss. This one's definitely a hit. The tea flavor, pleasantly bitter and earthy, achieves an almost orchestral balance with the smooth, creamy chocolate and deep brown-sugar notes."

The Art of Flavor Balancing
What makes our boba tea chocolate so special? It's all in the carefully selected ingredients and the delicate balance we've struck:
1. Cacao Beans: Sourced from the Cayapas River in Ecuador, these beans bring a natural astringency reminiscent of tea.
2. Black Tea: We use premium black tea from southern China to enhance the tea notes.
3. Natural Dark Brown Molasses Sugar: This adds depth and a hint of sweetness.
Creating this chocolate bar is a delicate dance of flavors. We carefully balance the bitterness from the cacao, tea, and sugar while maintaining a mild sweetness that allows the aromatic components of both the cacao and tea to shine through.
While there are no actual tapioca pearls in the bar, the combination of cacao, tea, and molasses creates a flavor experience that transports you to your favorite boba tea shop with each bite.
Elevating the Boba Experience: Introducing Our Boba Tea Gelato
This fall, we're taking our love for boba tea flavors to the next level with our new boba tea gelato. Here's what makes it special:
- Authentic Ingredients: We use the same high-quality components found in our chocolate bar as a base.
- Real Boba: We've incorporated dark brown sugar-flavored tapioca pearls into the gelato base for that authentic boba tea experience. The texture still remains chewy even when it's frozen, preserving that quintessential boba mouthfeel.
- Locally Sourced, Non-GMO Dairy: Our gelato is made with milk from Mill King, a small dairy farm near Waco, Texas. This locally sourced, non-GMO dairy ensures a creamy, luxurious texture while aligning with our commitment to quality ingredients and supporting local businesses.
The result? A creamy, chewy boba tea gelato that takes your boba tea experience to new heights. While enjoying our chocolate bar is like eating a solid boba tea, this gelato elevates the experience to another level entirely.
Whether you're a long-time boba tea enthusiast or new to the flavor, our boba tea chocolate and gelato offer unique ways to enjoy this beloved taste. Try them both and experience the evolution of boba tea flavors in exciting new forms!
