History of bubble tea

Bubble tea, or boba, has become much more than just a drink – it’s a global experience with roots in Taiwan from the 1980s. At Spill, we’re proud to share this cultural icon with bubble tea lovers across the UK.

What started as a simple mix of milk tea and chewy tapioca pearls has evolved into a customisable adventure, and that’s exactly what inspired us. From fruity bursts to creamy indulgences, bubble tea is all about making your drink your way – and at Spill, we take that to heart.

Since bubble tea first took off in cities like London, it’s become a nationwide craze. Now, even smaller towns are enjoying this once-niche Taiwanese treasure. We’ve seen how people light up when they discover their perfect combination of flavours, bases, and toppings – whether it’s sweet, tangy, or refreshingly simple. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to deliver not just bubble tea, but an experience: bold flavours, sustainable packaging, and the joy of sipping something just right.

For us, bubble tea isn’t just a trend; it’s about connection, creativity, and sharing the happiness that this iconic drink brings. From our kitchen to your home, we’re here to spill the fun – one bubble at a time.
