TEA CULTURE

The Chinese Emperor Sen Nung was resting in a camellia sinensis field while his servant was boiling water to drink. When leaves from the trees blew into the pot and coloured the water, Shen Nung, a herbalist himself, decided to try the infusion and gave it the title renowned today as tea.

our story
and history

Our first store started off in Pacific Mall, the largest Asian shopping centre on the border of Toronto. With over 500 stores in its vicinity, and multiple brands of bubble tea, Real Fruit Bubble Tea differentiated from itscompetition by specializing in real fruit and mastering the craft.

Due to the popular demand of bubble tea, we made a conscious decision to step out of the Asian community and share this artisan drink with everyone.

Mango Diamond Slush was created by the owner, Ken, and popularized a new wave of fruit bubble tea. Each staff member is taught the art to handpick, hand peel and dice mangoes to perfection.
