Bubble Tea Sandwiches

Taiwan's TPTEA Serves Sandwiches Filled with Black Tapioca Pearls

— March 24, 2018 — Lifestyle
TPTEA in Taiwan is putting a unique spin on bubble tea by serving the tapioca pearls that are ordinarily dropped into drinks in sandwiches instead.

The unusual combination pairs a crispy bread pocket with an interior filling of creamy milk tea and chewy tapioca pearls. Unlike when bubble tea is served in plastic takeaway cups, the entire outer package of this unconventional bubble tea treat can be eaten in its entirety. As well as offering a more sustainable way of serving bubble tea without a cup, the sandwich solution also does away with the need for a specialized straw for sucking up the large black tapioca balls in the form of a milky tea-based beverage.
Trend Themes
1. Bubble Tea Innovation - TPTEA's bubble tea sandwiches disrupt the traditional way of consuming bubble tea by combining it with a sandwich, offering a unique and sustainable alternative.
2. Edible Packaging - The use of crispy bread pockets as the outer package of TPTEA's bubble tea sandwiches presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the packaging industry.
3. Alternative Beverage Consumption - TPTEA's sandwich solution challenges the traditional way of consuming beverages, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for the beverage industry.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - TPTEA's bubble tea sandwiches create a new market for unique food and beverage combinations.
2. Packaging - The use of edible packaging in TPTEA's bubble tea sandwiches opens up opportunities for sustainable packaging solutions in the food industry.
3. Cafes and Tea Shops - The introduction of bubble tea sandwiches by TPTEA presents an innovative menu item for cafes and tea shops, attracting customers with unique food and drink options.
