Tea House Boba is the UK and Ireland’s only premium bubble tea and Asian street food franchise. Founded in Belfast in 2019, we have built a brand that customers from all backgrounds love — combining handcrafted bubble tea with an authentic Asian café experience unlike anything else on the UK high street.
With established trading locations, an active franchise network, and strong recognition at the International Franchise Show 2026, Tea House Boba is now expanding across the UK. We offer exclusive protected territories, a comprehensive training programme, ongoing operational support, and exclusive ingredient supply through Atlantic Boba Ltd — our own wholesale company.
Not your average bubble tea franchise. A proven, people-first brand with real trading history, real customers and real ambition.

Our Story
Welcome to Tea House, where every sip tells a story and every bubble brings a smile.
Our journey began in 2019 with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a space where people could connect, relax, and enjoy the perfect cup of bubble tea. Growing up in China, we were always drawn to the vibrant flavours, playful tapioca pearls, and the joy that bubble tea brought to every moment. Inspired by this, we set out to share that same joy with our community in Northern Ireland.
At Tea House, we blend tradition and innovation to craft drinks that delight your taste buds. From sourcing the finest teas and freshest ingredients to experimenting with exciting new flavours, we pour our passion into every cup. Whether you’re a fan of classic milk teas, refreshing fruit blends, or adventurous toppings, there’s something here for everyone. But it’s more than just tea and great food. It’s about creating a place where friends gather, families bond, and new memories are made. It’s about celebrating culture, creativity, and community in every cup.
Thank you for being part of our story. Together, let’s make every bubble a reason to celebrate.
