Tea House NFTs

Kung Fu Tea Launched a Collection of 8,888 Utility-Focused NFT Artworks

— May 16, 2022 — Business
'Kung Fu Tea,' the tea house famous for its wide array of bubble tea drinks, announced the 'Fighting Boba Club NFT collection,' a set of 8,888 utility-focused NFTs. These NFTs depict hand-drawn artworks designed by Kung Fu Tea itself. The foodservice chain stated that this collection will serve as the bridge between bubble tea lovers and the metaverse. Kung Fu Tea has built its marketing and reputation around tapioca pearls, or balls, that are present in bubble tea. As such, the brand stated that this collection is a way to give back to its boba-loving community.

Each of the 8,888 NFTs will be tied to a lifetime of rewards, according to Kung Fu Tea. These rewards include exclusive information, discounts on all purchases, special discounts on certain purchases, and many more potential rewards in the future, such as early access to items. The Kung Fu Tea Fighting Boba Club NFTs are based on the ultra-fast Solana blockchain and are available to purchase on 'MagicEden,' a Solana-based web3 marketplace.
