They are different from other Bubble Tea brands through their innovative offerings which include delicious coffee varieties, light versions and soy alternatives. Their drinks come in a variety of flavours and are fully customizable with bubbles – Boba, Popping Bubbles, Jellies and Chia Seeds. In Milk Teas, the premium bubble tea brand offer various customizations like choice of tea base (strong/mild), choice of milk which has regular milk and vegan friendly options like SOY milk or Dairy free Creamer. My personal favourites amongst their teas are the honeydew bubble tea, ginger tea and the peachy ice tea. Very soon Pop O Bob is going to start a ‘tea-volution’ to change people’s perception of tea by introducing tea with premium extracts like Hibiscus, Mulberry, Italian Grape etc.

Meadow Masti – Tandoori Tea
Who said Hyderabad is famous just for its Hyderabadi chai. With the new concept of tandoori chai, Hyderabadis now have something new to look forward to when they’re craving tea. As the name suggests, this tea is prepared in a ‘tandoori bhatti’ in which a mud pot is heated and burnt. After this, the tea is transferred into this and soaks in the tandoori flavour. It is then served in hot small clay/ mud glasses. The concept, flavour and way of serving the tea is unique and leaves you feeling refreshed.
