Bubble tea ingredients,
India to the UK.

Boba premixes, tapioca pearls, popping boba, syrups, specialty and instant teas and beverage mixes, manufactured in Hyderabad and supplied to UK importers, wholesalers, bubble tea chains and own-label brands. FSSC 22000 certified, quoted in USD, documentation prepared for clearance.

Why source here

Tea country, and the boba too

The UK already buys its tea from India. Rather less obviously, it can buy the whole bubble tea system from the same place.

We manufacture across both halves of that sentence — CTC and orthodox tea, specialty and flavoured teas, instant tea and coffee premixes on one side, and the complete boba toolkit on the other: milk and fruit premixes, tapioca pearls, popping boba, nata de coco, syrups and toppings. For a UK wholesaler that is one supplier, one set of documents and one lead time instead of four.

It also puts the manufacturer directly on the other end of the phone. We have been making beverage ingredients since 2011 and boba ingredients since 2019, in our own plant — not sourcing them from someone else's and putting our name on the invoice.

The range

What ships to the UK

Ambient, shelf-stable formats in standard case packs — which is what makes a mixed first container straightforward.

Importing into Great Britain

What has to be in place

Importing food into GB puts obligations on both sides. Here is the split, so you know what we carry and what sits with you or your customs agent.

Our side

A certified manufacturer

The plant operates to FSSC 22000 and holds FSSAI, HALAL and APEDA credentials. Certificates are shared with the dossier before order confirmation — the evidence base your own due diligence is built on.

Our side

The technical dossier

Product specifications, full ingredient and allergen declarations, nutritional data and shelf life, plus certificates of analysis per consignment. This is what your labelling and your food-safety management system are written from.

Your side

Importer registration and entry

You will need to be registered as a food business with your local authority and to hold the customs registration your agent files entries against. Import duty and import VAT are for the importer's account.

Your side

GB-format labelling

Anything sold in GB carries a UK food business operator name and address, allergens emphasised in the ingredients list, and quantity and nutrition declarations in the GB format. On own-label programmes we co-develop that artwork with you.

Your side

Port checks

Imported food may be examined by the port health authority on arrival. The documentation travels with the consignment so a check is a check rather than a delay.

Your side

Onward compliance

Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the EU sit under different rules from GB. Tell us where the goods are actually going and we will prepare the documentation for that destination, not just for the port.

This is a plain-language summary to help you scope a first shipment, not legal or regulatory advice, and requirements change. Confirm the current position with your customs agent or regulatory advisor. Compliance with GB labelling, registration and import rules rests with the importer; our part is to supply the documentation that supports it, and we do.

UK buyers ask

Questions before a first order

Do you export bubble tea ingredients to the UK?

Yes. We manufacture in an FSSC 22000 certified facility in Hyderabad and supply UK importers, wholesalers, bubble tea chains and own-label brands. Orders are quoted in USD on EXW, FOB India or CIF your port under Incoterms 2020, and the export documentation travels with the consignment.

What do I need in place to import into Great Britain?

On your side: registration as a food business, a customs agent to file the entry, import duty and VAT, and GB-format labelling carrying a UK food business operator address for anything sold on. On our side: a certified facility and the full technical dossier — specifications, ingredient and allergen declarations, nutritional data, shelf life and certificates of analysis.

Can you supply UK own-label and private-label programmes?

Yes. We manufacture to an agreed specification and minimum batch quantity, and co-develop the recipe, pack format and label artwork for the UK market. Proprietary formulations and processes remain ours unless transferred by separate written agreement.

What is the minimum order for a first UK shipment?

Minimum order quantities depend on the category, formulation and pack format, and are confirmed in the formal quotation once you have evaluated samples. The range is ambient and shares standard case packs, so categories consolidate — we will tell you how to combine them into an efficient container rather than pushing volume on one line.

Can I get samples in the UK before committing?

Yes. Evaluation samples are supplied free of charge; courier is at actuals or on your own DHL, UPS or FedEx account. Sampling does not constitute a commercial sale or commit either side to future supply.

Are the products suitable for vegetarian and HALAL menus?

The facility holds HALAL certification, and a large part of the range is vegetarian — each product page states its own dietary position. We share the certificates and the full ingredient declarations before order confirmation so you can verify rather than take our word for it.

Credentials

What the facility holds

We manufacture in our own plant in Hyderabad. Specifications, ingredient declarations, shelf-life data and certificates are shared before order confirmation.
