Oolong Tea Base Recipes for Bubble Tea Shops

Start with one controlled oolong concentrate, then turn it into five sellable drink families: light milk tea, classic milk tea, fruit tea, lemon tea and cold brew.

Why tea-base recipes matter

A small beverage business does not buy a tea base only because the dry leaves look attractive. It buys when the tea can become a repeatable menu item. FEISHUIJI organizes each B2B oolong base with a production brew standard and six starter formulas so a shop can test aroma, body, cost and staff repeatability quickly.

Base concentrate standard

Use the product page for each exact tea-to-water standard, then keep the finished-drink formula constant during the first test. A good starting point is a concentrated oolong tea soup that can carry milk, syrup, fruit or ice without disappearing.

How to choose the first four menu tests

  1. Pick one milk recipe and one fruit or lemon recipe for each tea base.
  2. Keep the cup size, ice and sweetness constant in round one.
  3. Score aroma, body, aftertaste, visual appeal, staff difficulty and cost per cup.
  4. Repeat the top two drinks after 15 and 30 minutes to test holding performance.
  5. Use photos of the best finished drinks in the shop menu or sampling sheet.
