Trader Joe's is giving you a whole new way to enjoy boba with its new Black Tea and Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert.
A unique take on traditional ice cream, this delicious frozen dessert is a lot closer to bubble tea than your classic dairy-based scoop. More specifically, the new Black Tea and Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert is made up of a coconut milk base that's infused with the flavor of Assam black tea, swirled with brown sugar, and then studded with tapioca pearls for that deliciously chewy texture. The result is a vegan-friendly, dairy-free dessert that serves "as a source of refreshing sweetness on a hot day, as something fun to share while catching up with a friend, or as a reward to yourself while working on a project."
