Japanese tapioca bubble tea stand Tapista is making it easier than ever for people to enjoy bubble tea at home with its bubble tea kits. The kits share enough ingredients to make six servings of bubble tea, including two servings of flavors like Tapista’s original milk tea flavor, the Uji matcha latte and brown sugar syrup milk tea. To top peoples' at-home bubble tea creations off, the kit also includes tapioca pearls, extra brown sugar and brown sugar syrup—bubble tea lovers only need to provide their own fresh milk.
To entice bubble tea lovers back to its bubble tea stand stores around Japan, Tapista also includes a coupon within the DIY bubble tea kits so that even more texture-rich drinks can be enjoyed.
