[San Francisco, August 27th, 2024] – Twrl Milk Tea, a plant-based food and beverage company inspired by its founders’ Chinese and Taiwanese American heritage, is thrilled to announce the launch of its bestselling non-dairy milk teas at Market Street in Texas and New Mexico. Starting September 2nd, milk tea lovers can find these popular milk teas across 19 locations in the US.
"At Twrl, we believe in the perfect balance of flavor and sweetness. Our tea latte features a splash of nondairy milk and just a hint of sweetness, offering a delightful, not-too-sweet experience that lets the tea shine." - says co-founder Olivia Chen.
“As moms who care about healthy living and supporting sustainable food sources, we wanted something better to drink for ourselves and our kids than the high-sugar, high-calorie milk tea options in the market. We use low-glycemic sweeteners in our milk teas, and each serving contains only 6-9 grams of sugar!” says co-founder Pauline Ang & Olivia Chen.
Taiwan Style Black Milk Tea: Twrl’s Taiwan-Style Black Milk Tea pays homage to the first modern milk tea from the streets of Taiwan, offering a nostalgic and clean milk tea aroma. Sourced from a family farm in Shandong, China, the tea is rich in antioxidants and boasts bold, chocolatey, cinnamon flavor notes.
Hojicha Roasted Green Milk Tea: Hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea from a family farm in Shizuoka, Japan, delivers a smooth, rich flavor with less bitterness and caffeine. Blended with creamy pea milk, it creates a nutty, earthy, smoky, and chocolatey organic milk tea that's both aromatic and delicious.
Jasmine Pu’erh Milk Tea: Twrl’s Supreme Jasmine Pu’erh Milk Tea, made with tea leaves from century-old trees and infused with pure jasmine, offers a supremely floral, smooth, and complex flavor, packed with nearly 3x more antioxidants.
Ube Milk Tea: Inspired by Pauline’s Hawaiian childhood, Twrl’s Ube Milk Tea is a convenient, grab-and-go delight made with high-quality ube from Taiwanese farmers. Brewed with organic mulberry leaf tea, this caffeine-free drink promotes heart health with flavor notes of sweetness, earthiness, nuttiness, vanilla, and coconut.
“My uncle, who was usually the one to accompany me on my daily trips to buy a cup, would joke about my milk tea addiction—one that has since become a global phenomenon. While as a child I could only experience the drink on those summer trips from Minnesota to Taiwan, decades later I was delighted to find cans of Twrl Milk Tea online, conveniently packaged for a taste of childhood whenever the fancy strikes.” - Darrice Chang, Writer at Bon Appetit
In addition to Market Street, Twrl’s Milk Tea is available through distributors including UNFI, KeHe, Faire, Pod Foods, and Meet Mable. Consumers can also order online directly on Amazon, Weee!, and Twrl Milk Tea’s website. To complement their line of milk teas, Twrl Milk Tea also makes boba toppings such as Crystal Boba which is made from konjac (a root vegetable) and Brown Sugar Boba. The brand recently released their NEW single serve, dye-free Popping Boba toppings which come in 3 flavors, Strawberry, Lychee, and Honey. The recent Market Street launch tops off a high growth year for Team Twrl.
