Kung Fu Tea Origins
Kung Fu Tea was founded in Queens, NY on April 30, 2010 and quickly became one of America’s largest bubble tea brands, with over 350+ locations nationwide. Kung Fu Tea strives to be innovative with their flavors while also ensuring quality taste, using premium tea leaves handpicked from Taiwan and freshly sourced ingredients/juices. Tea is freshly brewed every 3 hours, and the “bubbles” in the bubble tea are cooked every 2 hours. Kung Fu Tea also founded National Bubble Tea Day, which lands on April 30, (the day of their founding date), allowing people across the US to celebrate the unique experience of bubble tea.
What is Bubble Tea?
Bubble tea, also known as “pearl tea” or “boba,” is a Taiwanese drink, usually consisting of a milk and tea base mixed with fruits. What makes bubble tea so unique are the toppings – the most important being chewy tapioca pearls, also known as boba. Bubble tea became popular in Japan and Hong Kong in the early 90s, but soon became widespread in North America through international traders. Today, bubble tea consumption rivals that of popular drinks such as coffee and soda.
