  1. Mr. Bunston’s facial expression when he first tasted bubble tea took me back years 🙂 Although I worked in the research and development field of tea and tea by-products for 16 years, when I drank bubble tea for the first time in Hangzhou, it felt very unusual. The second time I drank in Singapore, I got used to it. I chewed the chewy bobas with pleasure 🙂

    • Hello ?aziye, thank you for your lovely contribution. Indeed, it was such a candid expression and highlights the beauty of innovation. Even after 63 years as a tea taster, he was still able to be surprised and delighted in this case. So nice to hear you love bubble tea too.

  3. I think if bubas are smaller, bubble tea can be more easily accepted as tea by foreign consumers.

  5. To tell the truth, I haven’t read such a wonderful interview for a long time and I’m so glad that I came across your article. I am a huge fan of tea and it was really interesting for me to delve into the concept of bubble tea. From my point of view, bubble tea is a true innovation and it can be in a huge demand for people because it combines convenience and a unique concept. I agree with Mike Bunston that this idea needs to take time to entrench, but if it happens, it will be widespread among people. From my point of view, this tea will not satisfy the preferences of any person, but it doesn’t change the fact that a great deal of people can love it and that this tea can become really popular. Of course, bubble tea is a great marketing idea and ploy. I think that this tea fits perfectly into the concept of the 21st century and it can’t leave you indifferent.
