Bloom & Sip: Lavender Honey Milk Tea Boba for the First Day of Spring

,

March 20 marks the First Day of Spring — and we’re celebrating with something soft, floral, and beautifully refreshing.

This Lavender Honey Milk Tea is light yet comforting, delicately sweetened with honey, and layered with chewy Better Boba pearls for that signature spring bounce. It’s the kind of drink you’d sip on a sunny patio surrounded by blooming flowers.

Fresh season. Fresh sip.
