A NEW bubble tea store, Bubblycious, has opened at Merry Hill offering fruit-infused and milk-based bubble teas.

The new store, which can be found on the lower mall near Waterstones, sells authentic Taiwanese fruit-infused and milk-based bubble teas, including Mango, Passion Fruit and Raspberry, and popular Taro Milk Tea.

Each drink is topped off with popping boba, tiny balls full of fruit juices, which add texture to the drink and pop in the mouth to release a splash of tropical flavours.

All drinks are 100 per cent vegetarian, dairy free and only use natural fruit sugars.

Bubblycious was founded in 2019 by Rameez Syed and his family who set up their first store in Northampton after falling in love with the refreshing concept and taste of bubble tea and the new Merry Hill store is the independent company’s first venture into the West Midlands.

Company director Rameez Syed said: “Merry Hill is the perfect place to open up our first store in the region, bringing our colourful fruit and milk-based bubble tea flavours to the West Midlands.

“We’ve got a huge variety of fruits to try and you can even mix it up to create your very own unique flavoured drink.”

Duncan Burns, marketing manager at Merry Hill, said: “The sweet treats and fruity brews available at Bubblycious is yet another exciting addition coming into the centre, bringing even more great flavour experiences for our shoppers to try."
