Pearl Lemon Boba

What's in the box: There is no box: you book an on-site bubble tea station where staff serve flavoured teas and milk teas with toppings and sweetness your guests choose.

Pearl Lemon Boba is not really a subscription box. It is a London-based bubble tea catering business that brings a mobile boba station to weddings, birthdays, corporate launches, university events and festivals across the UK. It also runs a café in London that serves drinks daily. If you want a monthly delivery of tapioca pearls, teas and syrups for making boba at home, the site does not describe anything like that. What it does offer looks simple. A team sets up at your event, and guests choose from flavoured teas and milk teas and pick their own toppings and sweetness. Corporate clients can have drinks with company branding, which could suit product launches or office celebrations. You book through a call, and the site does not state prices or package details, so expect to ask for a quote. Some of the marketing is loose. The company calls itself one of the most requested providers in the country and claims a very large number of birthday parties, but gives no way to check either. The contact details point to a wider group email and include a US phone number, so it may feel less like a small local café. For a one-off event in London or a major UK city, it is worth a call. For a recurring box, look elsewhere.
