Once Upon A Tea is a brand based in Thailand that offers a dynamic range of [powdered mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-tea) that can be used to make milk tea, or "bubble tea" as it is often called.

The brand offers three new flavors in its collection, all of which are relatively popular when it comes to milk teas. The range includes an orange tea, a banana tea and an apple tea -- and they all come in powdered form. These powders can be mixed with hot water or milk to create milk tea, and then can be offered with [tapioca balls to make bubble tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-tea-home-kits). The packaging itself features varying background colors with whimsical graphics decorating it.

Once Upon A Tea's packaging is free of caffeine, full of flavor and is offered in packaging that is likely to capture consumer attention.
