Bubble tea ingredients for catering, cafés and events
When you prepare bubble tea not just for yourself but for guests, different things matter: cost per serving, reliable delivery and pack sizes that last a week. That is exactly what this collection is for. Here you will find all popping boba in the 1.5 kg pack, straws in 50 and 100 unit boxes and tea in large formats – all from our warehouse at Dreispitz in Basel, shipped with DPD in 1–3 business days across Switzerland.
Popping boba 1.5 kg – around 37 servings per pack
Our fruit pearls come from a family-run manufacturer in Brittany, are ready to use and do not need to be cooked. That saves your kitchen the boiling time every morning. At 40 g per glass, a 1.5 kg pack yields roughly 37 servings. Available flavours include mango, raspberry, lychee, passion fruit, peach, blood orange, apricot and wild berry-strawberry. Store opened packs cool and use within a few days; unopened packs keep for several months. The smaller 240 g formats for tastings are in the fruit pearls & popping boba collection.
Straws, tea and accessories in bulk
Every bubble tea needs an XXL straw – normal straws are too narrow for the pearls. Our sugar cane straws come in packs of 50 and 100, individually wrapped and therefore also suitable for takeaway. As a base, TEABALLS in the 150 unit glass bottle work well: they dissolve in seconds, need no steeping time and produce no tea bag waste – a noticeable difference in daily operation. If you prefer classic brewing, loose leaf tea is in our loose leaf tea collection. Further accessories such as spoons, glasses and stainless steel straws are available too.
Trade account: conditions for resellers
Do you run a café, a restaurant, a takeaway or a food truck and order regularly? Then a trade account with reseller pricing is worth it. All information and the application form are under become a retailer. For one-off occasions – a wedding, company party, school fair or summer festival – you can also order directly without a trade account. For larger volumes or questions about availability, get in touch via our contact form.
Planning an event: calculating quantities
Count on one glass per guest with roughly 40 g of pearls and 300 ml of drink. For 100 guests that means about three 1.5 kg packs and two to three flavours to choose from. Recipes and mixing ratios are on our bubble tea recipes page. For children's events, the bubble tea for kids collection helps, and for host gifts see bubble tea gifts.
