Lychee Popping Boba

Lychee Popping Boba — Sweet Floral-Fruity Burst for Bubble Tea and Desserts

BubblePhil Lychee Popping Boba is made using spherification technology. A thin sodium alginate membrane encases a liquid lychee center, giving each pearl a translucent, milky-white look and a juicy, sweet lychee burst in every bite. Ready to use straight from the tub: no cooking, no soaking, no sugar syrup needed. The pearls hold up in iced drinks and chilled desserts without breaking or leaking. Made for bubble tea shops, dessert bars, cinema concessions and bulk export distributors, it is an ideal ingredient for lychee signature drinks and trending summer menu launches.

Flavor Profile and Sensory Notes

Lychee belongs to our orchard and floral-fruit range, with a sweet, juicy taste and a distinct floral aroma. Unlike the sharp acidity of citrus, lychee delivers a clean honeyed sweetness with a delicate floral note. It is a proven best-seller across Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea and Chinese-speaking markets, and it complements tea aromas as well as floral and creamy ingredients.

• Sweetness: ★★★★☆ (rich, juicy honeyed sweetness)
• Acidity: ★☆☆☆☆ (light tartness, refreshing, never sharp)
• Aroma Intensity: ★★★★☆ (delicate floral-fruity aroma, sweet lingering finish)
• Appearance and Texture: Uniform pearl size, suitable for bubble tea, fruit tea, desserts and frozen treats. Thin, crisp, residue-free shell. Milky-white translucent pearls look clean and eye-catching suspended in a clear cup. We recommend a wide-bore straw that lets the pearls pass through easily; the exact straw size can be chosen based on cup type and product specification.

Best Menu Pairings

• Recommended Tea Bases:

  High mountain oolong, jasmine green tea, Ceylon black tea. The orchid-like notes of oolong echo lychee's floral-fruity aroma, while black tea delivers the classic lychee black tea profile. Each lets the tea and the lychee sweetness shine.

• Creamy and Probiotic Drinks:

  Pairs well with Yakult-style probiotic drinks, yogurt, coconut milk or oat milk for smooth lychee yogurt-style beverages.

• Mocktails and Sparkling Drinks:

  Add to soda water, tonic water or non-alcoholic mixed drinks for eye-catching summer party creations.

• Dessert and Frozen Toppings:

  Soft serve, lychee shaved ice, aiyu jelly, tapioca jelly, panna cotta and fruit cups.

A quick-serve menu recipe:

Ingredients and Ratios:

• BubblePhil Lychee Popping Boba: 40–50 g
• Brewed high mountain oolong tea: 120 ml
  (We recommend brewing with the BubblePhil Commercial Filter-Free Tea Bag series, which gives a clean, non-astringent tea that fully supports the floral-fruity lychee aroma.)
• Sparkling water (soda water): 100 ml
• BubblePhil flavored syrup: 15–20 ml
  (We recommend the BubblePhil Flavored Syrups and Fruit Syrups series, such as cane sugar or lemon flavor. Smooth, even sweetness that blends easily into cold drinks.)
• Garnish: Full cup of ice, one fresh lemon slice or mint leaf

Preparation (30-Second Bar SOP):

1. Scoop 40–50 g of BubblePhil Lychee Popping Boba into the bottom of a clear cup.
2. Add a full cup of ice, the pre-brewed high mountain oolong tea and the flavored syrup. Stir gently clockwise for 3–5 seconds to blend the sweetness evenly.
3. Slowly pour chilled sparkling water down the side of the cup to create a layered look. Top with a lemon slice or mint leaf and serve.

Specifications and Storage

Food Safety

• Consistent Quality:

  The spherified membrane keeps its round shape during normal handling and drink preparation, and resists softening in carbonated bases such as sparkling drinks. The liquid center is released on biting.

• Vegetarian Friendly:

  The outer membrane is made with a plant-based seaweed (alginate) technology and contains no animal-derived gelatin.

• Internationally Certified, Open to Buyer Verification:

  BubblePhil's manufacturer partner, T Foods Co., Ltd., holds three international food safety certifications: HACCP, ISO 22000:2018 and FSSC 22000 (Version 6). All are issued by SGS, have remained valid since 2022, and are subject to unannounced audits under FSSC requirements. FSSC 22000 is a GFSI-recognized (Global Food Safety Initiative) scheme and a baseline requirement for many international retailers and chains when screening suppliers. We welcome buyer verification: certificate numbers and the certification scope for each product are available from our sales team, and can also be checked directly in the public fssc.com database. To learn how to tell whether a food safety certificate is genuine, valid and covers the products you are purchasing, see: Guide to Verifying a Supplier's Food Safety Certification
