How to Customise Bubble Tea

One of the greatest appeals of bubble tea is how personalised it can be.  No two cups need to be the same. From the tea base and milk to the toppings and sugar level, bubble tea is made to suit your preferences - whether you enjoy bold, sweet flavours or lighter, more refreshing combinations.

Choose Your Tea Base

Start with the foundation. Common choices include:

• Black tea: Robust and ideal for milk tea

• Green tea: Light and floral

• Oolong tea: Smooth with toasted notes

• Matcha: Rich and earthy, made from green tea powder

Each offers its own flavour and caffeine profile.

Pick a Milk or Fruit Option

You can add:

• Dairy milk for a creamy texture

• Oat, almond or soy milk for dairy-free alternatives

• Fruit purée or syrup for a brighter, juicier tea with no milk at all

Select Your Toppings

Toppings bring texture and personality to your drink. Some popular ones include:

• Tapioca pearls for a chewy bite

• Popping boba for a burst of juice

• Coconut jelly for something lighter

• Pudding for a soft, custard-like experience

Many people enjoy combining two or more toppings for a layered feel.

Final Touches

You can even tailor the ice level and opt for extras like salted milk foam. Whether you want it chilled, creamy or somewhere in between, your bubble tea can match your mood.

Customising your drink makes bubble tea more than a refreshment -it becomes a personal experience. At Gong cha, we encourage creativity and offer endless combinations to help you find your perfect cup - make it yours!
