When you decide to invest in a master franchise, with a successful brand, even if you like the product a lot, you have to make your decisions based on facts and not just on your instinct. A lot of people around me think that drinking Bubble Tea is just a hype. What can I say to them ? just facts :  Demand for bubble tea is growing exponentially in Europe, driven by changing consumer tastes and habits, such as:    ✔️ Increasing demand for East-to-West food and beverage trends – from bao buns to bubble tea  ✔️ Consumers, particularly Gen Z, favouring low and no-alcohol beverages when socialising with friends or family  ✔️ Shift towards product customisation  ✔ Consumption of iced tea has increased enormously in Europe in recent years, thanks to supermarkets and well-known brands such as Fuzztea, Nestea, Lipton,...   Bubble tea sits at the heart of these consumer trends – trends that we believe will become even more prominent over the months and years ahead.    #lowandno #bubbletea source Gong cha Global
