Twrl Milk Tea Introduces Its Bestselling Brown Sugar Boba 

to Sprouts Farmers Markets Nationwide

[San Francisco, October 30, 2023] – Twrl Milk Tea, a plant-based food and beverage company inspired by its founders’ Chinese and Taiwanese American heritage, now counts Sprouts Farmers Market as its newest and largest retailer partner to-date. Twrl teamed up with Sprouts on the exclusive nationwide launch of its six-pack Brown Sugar Boba in all 400 North Atlantic, Southern Pacific and Northern California stores. Boba refers to the chewy tapioca pearls often found in bubble tea, a drink with origins in Taiwan. This tea-based drink is made by blending in either milk or fruit juice and then adding tapioca balls.

Twrl's Brown Sugar Boba is infused with real brown sugar and perfectly complements their signature ready-to-drink milk teas. The boba pearls, revered for their consistency, bring to mind the Taiwanese term “QQ” meaning chewy, much the same as al dente refers to pasta that retains a firm bite. Unlike other packaged boba that requires boiling, Twrl’s Brown Sugar Boba is ready to eat after just 30-45 seconds in the microwave. It comes in a convenient box with six single-serve packets, ideal for sharing with friends or stocking up for daily enjoyment. 

“Bobas are the new sprinkles,” said Olivia Chen, co-founder & CMO. “Our Brown Sugar Bobas can be added to any drink or dessert — they’re more versatile than sprinkles and can be enjoyed sweet, savory, hot or cold!” As part of the launch at Sprouts, Twrl Milk Tea is releasing a selection of recipes as an e-booklet zine that teach home chefs how to cook and bake with boba across a variety of applications like almond jello, panda milk tea and even pizza.

"We've put a lot of effort into perfecting the recipes, and we're confident that our customers will love adding boba to their culinary repertoire," said Pauline Ang, Founder & CEO of Twrl Milk Tea. In addition to their Brown Sugar Boba and line of plant-based milk teas and in the same vein of fusing tradition and innovation, Twrl also makes a Crystal Boba made from konjac (a root vegetable) and lychee. Thanks to this new partnership with Sprouts, Twrl Milk Tea continues to expand the milk tea experience, offering a harmonious blend of premium ingredients to its legion fans.
