1. Witch’s Brew Matcha Bubble Tea
If Halloween had a signature potion, this would be it: my witch’s brew matcha bubble tea is a spellbinding mix of earthy matcha green tea, creamy milk, and shimmering purple ube boba pearls. It’s topped with a cloud of whipped cream and a dusting of purple sprinkles, the kind of drink that looks straight out of a witch’s cauldron but tastes like pure comfort in a glass.
The green matcha contrasts fabulously with the violet boba, making it the perfect centrepiece for your Halloween spread, equal parts spooky and elegant! This bewitching bubble tea is sure to charm everyone!
2. Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair Bubble Tea
Inspired by the most unlikely best friends at Nevermore Academy, this duo of bubble teas celebrates the perfect contrast between shadow and sparkle. Wednesday’s drink is as dark and moody as she is, a deep black cocoa and black tea bubble tea, rich and slightly bitter with a velvety smooth texture. Enid’s, on the other hand, is pure sunshine: a pastel mix of butterfly pea flower and strawberry milk tea, topped with whipped cream and pink sprinkles.
Together, they’re a visual (and flavourful) reminder that opposites not only attract, they make the best tea party companions. These bubble teas bring both gothic glamour and candy-coloured sweetness to your Halloween spread.
3. Zombie Brains Bubble Tea
If ever there was a drink to wake the dead, this is it! This zombie brains bubble tea is a creepy mix of matcha milk tea layered with blood-like sweet strawberry syrup, strawberry popping boba, and crowned with a yuk, wobbly jelly brain. The bright green and red colours make it a showstopper for any Halloween party, equal parts gross and gorgeous.
The matcha brings a sense of earthy calm to the chaos, while the popping boba bursts with fruity flavour in every sip. It’s surprisingly delicious, wonderfully weird, and guaranteed to be the star of your spooky season spread!
4. Kraken’s Ink Blue Bubble Tea
Deep beneath the surface of the Halloween seas lurks this Kraken’s Ink Blue Bubble Tea! It’s a mysterious and mesmerising drink that’s as dramatic as it is delicious. Made with ocean-blue butterfly pea flower tea, rich black cocoa whipped cream, and a drizzle of dark cocoa syrup, it’s anchored by chewy brown sugar tapioca pearls for that perfect contrast of colour and flavour.
Topped with a wobbly octopus jelly, this bubble tea looks like it’s risen straight from a haunted deep-sea cavern. The creamy sweetness of the milk tea meets the bittersweet notes of black cocoa for a flavour that’s bold, smooth, and slightly wicked, the ultimate showstopper for any spooky soirée.
5. S’mores Hojicha Bubble Tea
When the air turns chilly and bonfires start crackling, this s’mores hojicha bubble tea is the perfect cosy companion. It combines the deep, roasted flavour of Japanese hojicha tea with creamy milk, gooey chocolate syrup, and a crown of toasted marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs. Think campfire s’mores, but in bubble tea form.
The smoky notes of hojicha pair perfectly with the sweetness of chocolate and toasted marshmallows, creating a drink that’s nostalgic, comforting, and ideal for chilly evenings. Gather around a firepit or curl up under a blanket, and enjoy this autumn-inspired boba!
6. Spiced Apple Pie Bubble Tea
This spiced apple pie bubble tea tastes like a hug in a glass, all the cosy sweetness of homemade pie, but with a bubble tea twist. It’s made with brown sugar boba, smooth caramel syrup, and a comforting base of masala chai milk tea that brings gentle warmth from cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. On top, tender cubes of apple add that perfect balance of texture and sweetness.
Every sip feels like autumn, rich, spiced, and perfectly indulgent. It’s the ideal drink to pair with a slice of pie, a chunky knit sweater, and your favourite fall playlist.
