  • Hi, everybody! We are today at Rotterdam in front of YoYo! Fresh Tea Bar.

  • We are going to try a couple of bubble teas, lets take a look inside.

  • This is the traditional version of bubble tea also called Hong Kong Milk Tea

  • Originated in Taiwai around 1980s, you can order it cold or hot. And easy to take with you.

  • Today we are going to try few different flavours , lets start.

  • Here we got 4 bubble teas, we got here the Lychee Rose. Made from Rose tea with lychee jelly as you see.

  • Here we got my favourite strawberry mint

  • The Green Tea Mango we got here with mango popping boba.

  • And the classic Hong Kong Milk Tea

  • We are going to try the Lychee Rose first and pick one of the four straws we've gotten.

  • Because of the lychee jelly on the bottom, it taste really good. Its like jelly bit crunchy and sweet

  • The rose tea balance with the jelly its very refreshing, really suitable for the summer.

  • From 1 to 10 I am giving this bubble tea a 7.5, because I would drink it another time.

  • The sweet lychee jelly balance well with the tea and suitable for the summer and refreshing.

  • I would suggest just to try it out!

  • We are going to ask a few customers what they think of the bubble tea and we got here Naomi.

  • And which bubble tea have you got? Strawberry mint.

  • And what do you think of the bubble tea? Its delicious and refreshing especially on a hot day.

  • Do you like the mint that is in it? Yes, I really like it, it give it a refreshing kick

  • Refreshing kick is lovely in this weather? Yes ofcourse.

  • Thank you very much, bye.

  • We have 3 bubble tea left, this time I choose the strawberry mint.

  • Also my favourite, for that I am using a peach coloured straw.

  • We have here the strawberry mint tea, I see mint leaves and a lemon slice in it. Lets taste it!

  • Its very refreshing the tea. Can taste the strawberry working well with the mint and can still taste the mint.

  • And I give this an 8 and its delicious for the summer weather and I love strawberries.

  • Here we got the next costumer, he got, what do you actually got?

  • Coconut milk with tapioca

  • The Tapioca pearls with Coconut milk and what's your name? Kai.

  • What do you think of the Coconut milk?

  • Its nice and sweet, if you want something sweet for a sugar rush is this the best.

  • So do you like sweet bubble teas?

  • Yeah, I didn't sleep that much so a sugar rush with allot of sugar is pretty great.

  • Yeah delicious, but besides the coconut milk do you like other bubble teas?

  • It depends, I just try something different every time. One time strawberry, other earl grey , less tea or no milk

  • Depends what I am in the mood for.

  • Do you have any recommendation for the viewers to try?

  • Recommendations, I think everybody have their favourites of something.

  • I would say look at the ingredients what you like and try them. If you dont like it remove and try something else.

  • Just try it. A great tip from Kai, I would say try it out! Thank you! My pleasure.

  • We have 2 bubble teas left and this time I take something different the classic Hong Kong MilkTea.

  • This is earl grey tea with milk and tapioca pearls, lets try it, am going to use a white straw for this.

  • The tapioca pearls are great to chew on. They are really chewy.

  • The tea is not too strong, its lightly sweeted with milk in it. Will give this tea a 7.5.

  • Because it is not to strong, it just sweet to drink and delicious to enjoy.

  • Today we are at YoYo! Fresh Tea bar and we want introduce you to the owner of YoYo! Tea.

  • Could you introduce yourself? Hi my name is Wing am from Rotterdam.

  • And am owner of YoYo! Fresh Tea Bar with 5 shops in The Netherlands.

  • Can you tell us what you do?

  • We started 3 years ago, we had a small shop in Rotterdam, a small pilot store.

  • Where we tried out different things, it caught on in the market.

  • And it achieved it well, with a cause that we grown further and next to Rotterdam also in The Hague,

  • and in Amsterdam. And since last month also opened two stores in South Korea.

  • Wow that's allot of stores, but don't you have to travel allot?

  • The stores in South Korea are franchise there are partners who does it for us.

  • We do regularly go there, but don't need to weekly to there, but that wont be such a disaster.

  • But we are regularly in South Korea to follow the business.

  • But next to your business, would go enjoy South Korea and go sight seeing?

  • Ofcourse we do that, but don't have that much time for. But when you are in South Korea you will eat allot.

  • So we often eat with our partners Korean BBQ, which there famous food in South Koerea.

  • But its ok, I like beef its good and of course you can do allot of shopping in South Korea.

  • And for the ladies its shopping heaven number 1

  • But next to shopping, excepting Korea, are you going to also open more stores in Asia?

  • That depends on the developements, but the coming months will keep an eye on the situations.

  • But from South Korea we could try spreading to other countries.

  • Can you tell us more about how YoYo! Tea was started?

  • As I already said we started with a small store in 2012.

  • We started with a few classics for example, milk teas and bubble teas.

  • But we called ourself YoYo! Fresh Tea Bar as we wanted to do more with the tea experience

  • So next to bubble tea we would like to develope other beverages on bases of other kinds of teas.

  • Thats why we got fresh teas to choose from and premium summer drinks.

  • They are more beverages that are less sweet and more based on fruit juice

  • So for example our watermelon perfection, which is green tea with fresh watermelon juice.

  • But we also have for example a Lychee Rose, which is a rose tea in combination with lychees.

  • And that way we always try develope the beverages to have a nice selection

  • And with this achieve a bigger target market.

  • Wow, so what is your main target market?

  • Maybe you have already filmed it but our target market is pretty big.

  • Of course are leading group are the youngsters, people from 10 to 30 years old.

  • But we see allot of diversity in our customers, allot of different backgrounds that comes to our stores.

  • But also parents with their children so the target is quite big

  • You would think its an Asian concept and would attract more Asians.

  • But in our stores we see there is a bigger audience of different people which we are happy with.

  • What are your plans for the future?

  • We would like to grow more in other countries, after South Korea also try at two other countries.

  • This year and next year and of course also grow here in the Netherlands.

  • The current stores are all own stores, but we would like to franchise in the Netherlands.

  • So for sure wil grow in the coming years and we still want to expand our portfolio.

  • So next to our current selection of teas, we would like to develop other kinds of beverages.

  • So we are continuously improving our portfolio. I would like to say good luck with all. Thank you.

  • Wish you best of luck, but where can we find you?

  • Online on our website yoyotea.nl and on facebook and instagram.

  • And our most important social media channels where we post allot so keep checking us.

  • You heard it keep an eye on YoYo! Tea and I would like to thank you for our interview and see you soon. Thanks.

  • Last but not least the green tea mongo made from green tea base and mango syrup

  • On the bottom we see the popping boba, also mango flavoured. Lets try it!

  • The green tea mango is more sweeter kind compared to the other bubble teas we tasted.

  • Its because of the popping boba, which are jelly with fruit syrup in it.

  • But you still taste the green tea, which nutralizes the bubble tea. I am giving this a 7

  • because it is sweeter and don't like it, but if you like sweets more than I would suggest this bubble tea.

  • This was our review for today at YoYo! Fresh Tea Bar in Rotterdam, I hope to see you soon!

  • I am Christine from New Asion , see you soon! Bye!

Hi, everybody! We are today at Rotterdam in front of YoYo! Fresh Tea Bar.
