Woolworths shoppers lose minds over new bubble tea range

Shoppers have flooded Woolies after a TikTok video revealed the supermarket giant now stocks kits to make a popular takeaway drink at home.

Woolworths shoppers have gone into a frenzy after a TikTok video revealed the supermarket giant now stocks bubble tea kits for just $8.

New Zealand brand Avalanche is the brains behind the DIY Bubble Tea Kits, with Woolworths across Australia exclusively stocking them in Milky (Original), Strawberry, Peach, Caramel, Brown Sugar, Mango, Matcha and Taro flavours. Each pack comes with five servings.

The discovery came courtesy of Adelaide food TikToker Brittany Boyle, who shared a clip detailing her “fantastic” experience with the popular Taiwanese drink DIY packets.

“PSA for all my bubble tea lovers,” Boyle posted. “Woolworths now sell bubble tea kits.”

To make the beloved drink using the kits, simply pour the mixture into a glass and add your choice of milk or water along with the straw (five of which come with each pack).

Boyle told Pedestrian TV that the taro and peach flavours were “delicious”.

“But I’d definitely recommend using milk instead of water for the milky teas and instead of microwaving the pearls soak them in hot water,” she added.

“[It] tastes so much better that way.”

In a statement, Woolworths Merchandise Manager, Cormac Deery, told news.com.au they “love seeing customers enjoy the new Avalanche Bubble Tea and sharing their excitement online”.

“Customers are clearly enjoying the product and flavours available too as there’s been a noticeable spike in demand on the range, particularly over the weekend,” he added.

“We have no doubt TikTok has played a large part in the awareness of the range.”

The range has hit shelves in all states and territories bar Western Australia. Not to worry though – shoppers can expect to find it within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Boyle’s video was viewed by close to two million people, many of them commenting how excited they were about getting their hands on the product.

“Looks like I’m taking a trip to Woolworths in the morning then,” one of the 15,000 people to comment wrote.

“I’m so mad that it’s 11.45pm now and I have to wait till tomorrow to get some,” said another.
