Syrups are the quickest way to flavour bubble tea, at home or behind a café counter. This guide covers the flavours we make, the drinks each one suits, how much to use, how to store it, and a sensible starter set for a new café.
A bubble tea syrup, or boba syrup, is a pour-ready liquid that carries flavour and sweetness in one bottle. You pour 15–30 ml into the cup, add 100 ml of milk or water, ice and pearls, and the drink is ready. There is no powder to whisk and no sugar to dissolve. We make a wide range of boba syrups in 700 ml bottles at our FSSC 22000 plant in Hyderabad.
Flavour syrups. ₹525 per 700 ml bottle; Ube is ₹649. Tea concentrates. Black and Green Tea Concentrate ₹399; Matcha Tea Concentrate ₹990. All prices are MRP including GST. Dose. 15–30 ml syrup + 100 ml milk or water. Shelf life. 12 months sealed. For cafés. 9 bottles to a case, and you can mix flavours in one case.
A flavour syrup is the flavour and the sweetness of the drink in one pour. It goes into the glass first, and the rest of the drink is built on top of it. You can use it for bubble tea, cold coffee, mocktails, lemonades, sodas and desserts.
A beverage concentrate is a pour-ready tea base. A splash of Black Tea or Green Tea Concentrate, 10–15 ml, adds tea depth to a syrup drink and turns it into a milk tea or fruit tea. We also make Matcha, Hojicha and Mojito Green Tea concentrates.
These are the syrups we make, grouped by the drinks they usually go into. The taste notes are the ones printed on each product page.

|---|---|---|
| Creamy and milk-tea flavours | Ube (purple yam, vanilla notes), Taro (earthy, nutty), Brown Sugar (deep molasses sweetness), Okinawa Milk Tea (caramel, toasty), Thai (aromatic Thai-style tea), Chai Latte (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom) | Milk teas, lattes, brown sugar boba |

This is the method printed on our syrups:
Start at 15 ml and taste, then add more for a sweeter, stronger cup. If you serve a bigger cup, increase the syrup and the milk together and taste again, so every cup comes out the same.
| Syrup | 3-in-1 premix | Made fresh in the café | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form | Liquid, poured in ml | Powder, measured in grams | Brewed tea, fruit or home-made syrup |
| What it gives | Flavour and sweetness | The whole milk-tea base: flavour, sugar and creamer | Whatever you put in |
| You add | Milk or water | Water or milk, as the pack says | Everything else |
| Good for | Fast service, fruit drinks, sodas, many flavours from one bar | Creamy milk teas with one scoop | Signature drinks, if you have time and staff |
Many cafés use both: a boba premix for creamy milk teas and syrups for fruit teas, sodas and flavour shots. Fresh ingredients give you full control, but taste can vary from batch to batch and prep takes longer. Our ube premix vs ube syrup guide shows the difference with one flavour.
You do not need every flavour on day one. A small, balanced bar covers most orders:
Because a case of nine can mix flavours, your first case can be your starter set. A full case gets 10% off MRP with a GSTIN, and orders of ₹19,999 and above get 20% off and free ground shipping within India. Add pearls and toppings, which are separate products: see where to buy boba pearls in India. For case pricing, visit our wholesale page.
One bottle of syrup, milk and a pack of instant pearls is enough to make bubble tea at home. Pick the flavour you like best from the boba syrups range; a single bottle is sold at MRP with no GSTIN needed.
Bubble tea uses a flavour syrup, also called a boba syrup: a pour-ready liquid with flavour and sweetness in one bottle. Popular ones include brown sugar, ube, taro, pandan and fruit flavours such as yuzu and dragon fruit.
Our syrups are printed with 15–30 ml of syrup to 100 ml of milk or water, mixed well, with 5–10 ice cubes. Start at 15 ml and taste, then add more for a sweeter, stronger cup.
Our flavour syrups are ₹525 for a 700 ml bottle, and Ube Syrup is ₹649 (MRP, including GST). Cafés get 10% off MRP by the case of nine with a GSTIN, and 20% off with free ground shipping on orders of ₹19,999 and above.
Keep sealed bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; our syrups keep 12 months sealed. After opening, reseal the bottle tightly, refrigerate it and use it within the period printed on the bottle.
They do different jobs. A 3-in-1 premix is the whole creamy milk-tea base in one scoop, while a syrup adds flavour and sweetness to milk, water, tea or soda. Many cafés use premixes for milk teas and syrups for fruit teas and sodas.
Yes. Our syrups come nine bottles to a case, and you can mix flavours in one case, so a new café can build its starter set from a single case.
We make boba syrups and tea concentrates at our FSSC 22000 plant in Hyderabad, 700 ml bottles nine to a case, shipped across India in 7 days.
