How Many Toppings Are Advised For Bubble Tea?

Bubble tea is a delicious treat that can be made even more indulgent with a range of toppings. 

When it comes to ordering bubble tea, you might be wondering how many toppings are advised. Additionally, how many toppings are too many toppings? 

The answer to this question largely depends on the size of the cup of bubble tea that you opt for, as the toppings will inevitably take up more space in the cup, leaving less room for your tea.

At Bubblebase, we recommend that you opt for 3 scoops of toppings in a regular cup and 4 to 5 scoops in a large cup for the perfect ratio. If you add any more toppings than this, you won’t be able to fit enough tea in the cup and the ratio will be off.

What To Consider When Choosing Bubble Tea Toppings 

When choosing bubble tea toppings, there are various things you should consider.

These include, but are not limited to:

1. Number of scoops 
2. The flavour
3. The texture
4. Sugar content  

1. Number Of Scoops 

Firstly when ordering your bubble tea, you will need to consider the number of scoops of your chosen toppings.

As we’ve mentioned above, the number of scoops depends on the size of your drink. That said, if you’re opting for a regular-sized bubble tea, you generally shouldn’t go over 3 scoops of toppings to ensure you’re able to fully appreciate the bubble tea.

Bearing this in mind, you’ll want to pick your bubble tea toppings wisely to adequately fit them into your drink.

2. The Flavour

The next consideration to bear in mind when choosing your bubble tea toppings is the flavour.

Each topping has its own flavour profile, and you ideally will want the flavour of your toppings to compliment the type of bubble tea that you’re drinking.

For instance, Tiger tea works beautifully with tapioca pearls thanks to the pearl’s delicious caramel notes. Alternatively, fruit teas work with a variety of different popping bubble flavours. For instance, passion fruit and mango work together to create an explosion of tropical fruit flavours.

If you’re unsure of which toppings go with which flavours, then be sure to ask a member of staff for what they would recommend in terms of flavour combinations and they’ll be happy to help.

3. The Texture

The next thing you’ll want to bear in mind when choosing bubble tea topping is the texture.

Ask yourself whether you’re looking for a chewy texture. Or perhaps you want something that offers a more jelly-like consistency? This will help you to determine the kind of toppings you should opt for on this occasion. 

At Bubblebase, we’re always looking to expand with new flavours and delicious toppings, from custard jelly to grass jelly to popping bubbles.

As such, when you’re ordering your bubble tea, don’t be afraid to try out new textures, even if you’ve never heard of the toppings.

After all, you may discover a new favourite in the process of trying something new.

4. Sugar Content 

Lastly, you will need to consider the sugar content when choosing your toppings. 

As bubble tea toppings can be high in sugar, it’s important to understand the impact this can have on the nutritional content of your drink.

While bubble tea is a wonderful treat, adding too many toppings will inevitably increase the number of calories in bubble tea.

That said, you will want to make sure that you’re being mindful of the sugar content and how the toppings you’re choosing can impact this. 

Hopefully, this article has given you a better idea of how many toppings to order next time you treat yourself to bubble tea.
