Founded by Ning Ma, TeaJoy was born out of her passion for authentic, high-quality bubble tea and her deep-rooted restaurant experience. Today, TeaJoy is transforming the way we enjoy bubble tea, making it simple, accessible and utterly delightful.
What started in Ning Ma's kitchen in 2021 quickly became the UK's fastest-growing bubble tea brand. With over 500 locations now serving TeaJoy and 2 million cups sold, their growth is a testament to the brand's unique approach and irresistible flavors. TeaJoy's philosophy is simple: to make bubble tea as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. Their easy-to-use method - Add Water, Shake, Pour - allows any hospitality venue, whether a small independent cafe or a national chain, to serve delicious bubble tea in seconds. This streamlined process reduces equipment and labor costs and guarantees a consistent, high-quality drink every time.
At TeaJoy, flavor is at the heart of everything they do. Ning Ma’s journey took her to Taiwan - the birthplace of bubble tea - where she honed her craft at the Institute of Tea. After nine months of perfecting every sip, TeaJoy was launched with recipes that bring out the true essence of bubble tea. Their tea syrups blend real fruit juice with premium jasmine tea to create a refreshing, natural taste. Whether you prefer a strong, creamy milk tea or a vibrant fruit tea with floral notes, every cup of TeaJoy is a celebration of authenticity.
TeaJoy also elevates the bubble tea experience with its unique boba offerings. Their popping boba, made with real fruit juice and a delicate Xanthan gum shell, provides a superior texture and burst of flavor. Meanwhile, their tapioca pearls, made from 100% sweet cassava flour, cook in just 20 seconds to deliver a delicious caramel brown sugar taste - no extra syrup needed.
Looking ahead to 2025, TeaJoy is doubling down on what matters most: sustainability, accessibility, and innovation. Their vision is clear - a future where every bubble tea cup is eco-friendly, every retailer is equipped for success, and every sip brings a smile. TeaJoy is set to expand its digital presence, pioneer sustainable packaging solutions, and forge new retail and franchise partnerships. With a commitment to reducing waste and supporting community-led tea farms, TeaJoy is a leader in flavor and a champion for positive change.
