1. Matcha Powder – Warm and Comforting
A classic for colder months, matcha offers a rich, earthy flavor with a comforting depth. Matcha’s vibrant green color and smooth, creamy texture make it a staple in winter bubble teas. Try combining it with Strawberry Premium Syrup for a layered Matcha Strawberry Latte, or pair it with Crystal Boba for a twist that adds a refreshing, chewy texture.

2. Strawberry Premium Syrup – Sweet and Seasonal
Strawberry might be more commonly associated with spring, but its natural sweetness provides a bright contrast to winter’s heavier flavors. Incorporate it into milk-based teas for a burst of fruity warmth, or add it as a topping on Tapioca Pearls in traditional milk teas. Strawberry Premium Syrup also complements earthy teas like Hojicha for an unexpected, but delicious winter fusion.
Suggested Recipe: Strawberry Hojicha Latte – combine Hojicha with milk and a hint of strawberry syrup to balance the roasted tea’s nutty, smoky notes with a touch of sweetness.
3. Lychee Syrup – Bright and Floral
Lychee Syrup offers a light, tropical note that refreshes and balances more robust teas. Pair it with Jasmine Green Tea for a floral twist, or with Lavender Syrup and Earl Grey for a Lavender Lychee Earl Grey – a truly unique and aromatic drink perfect for winter afternoons. This ingredient is ideal for adding a fresh, floral undertone to traditional winter teas.
Suggested Recipe: Jasmine Lychee Bubble Tea – combine Jasmine Green Tea with lychee syrup and add tapioca pearls or crystal boba for a lightly floral, yet hearty winter drink.
4. Hojicha Tea – Earthy and Roasted
Hojicha’s roasted flavor makes it a fantastic option for creating warm, winter-friendly drinks. It pairs well with Milk Tea Powder (All in One) for a convenient yet delicious milk tea base that’s creamy and nutty. This combination offers an earthy richness that’s comforting in cold weather and can be enhanced by adding a touch of Lavender Syrup for a twist on the classic Hojicha milk tea.
Suggested Recipe: Lavender Hojicha Milk Tea – blend Hojicha Tea with milk and a hint of lavender for a floral twist on the deep, roasted flavors of Hojicha. Add tapioca pearls for a satisfying chew.
5. Jasmine Green Tea – Light and Aromatic
Jasmine Green Tea, known for its floral aroma, provides a light, refreshing base for winter bubble teas. This tea pairs beautifully with Lychee Syrup and Crystal Boba for a refreshing drink that still feels seasonal. The floral aroma of jasmine adds depth without overpowering the palate, making it a versatile option for both milk-based and fruit-based bubble teas.
Suggested Recipe: Lychee Jasmine Green Tea – combine Jasmine Green Tea with lychee syrup and top with crystal boba for a drink that’s delicate, fruity, and perfect for the season.
6. Crystal Boba and Tapioca Pearls – Chewy and Fun
No bubble tea experience is complete without the addition of boba pearls. Crystal Boba provides a lighter, fruitier texture, perfect for pairing with floral teas like jasmine or fruity options like strawberry. Tapioca Pearls, on the other hand, offer a classic chewiness and are great with deeper, milk-based teas. Experiment with adding them to various flavors for a mix of textures and tastes.
Suggested Pairing: Try Crystal Boba with Jasmine Green Tea and Lychee Syrup for a refreshing option, or classic Tapioca Pearls with Matcha or Earl Grey Milk Tea for a traditional winter feel.

Lavender Syrup’s calming aroma makes it a unique addition to winter bubble teas. Pair it with Hojicha Tea for an earthy yet floral drink, or mix it with Milk Tea Powder for a creamy, soothing tea. This syrup provides a delicate floral profile that is perfect for the colder months and can be paired with a variety of teas and milk bases.
