A Complete Guide to Our 15 Ingredient Categories

2026-08-20

One of the questions we hear most is "what exactly do I need to open a tea shop?" The answer always starts with our 15 ingredient categories:

Tea leaves are the soul of milk tea — black, green, oolong and jasmine bases, all direct-sourced from origin gardens. Fruit jams and purees bring true-to-fruit flavor to fruit teas and smoothies. Concentrated juices make standardized output easy at scale.

Non-dairy creamer and milk bases build the creamy body of milk tea and coffee drinks, while syrups control sweetness with stability. Tapioca pearls, taro balls, popping boba and nata de coco cover every topping trend — and powdered drinks, from matcha to cheese foam, speed up your bar.

Coffee liquid rounds out the menu for cafes and tea-coffee fusion stores.

Every category is available in multiple specifications, and our advisor can build a complete first-order list for your store size and menu direction. Just ask.
