Buy an ABOUTEA Franchise

ABOUTEA is a specialty bubble tea and beverage franchise built around an authentic Taiwanese-inspired menu of milk teas, fruit teas, and cheese milk foam drinks. The brand centres on quality ingredient sourcing, with franchisees required to purchase proprietary ingredients from the franchisor or approved suppliers to maintain consistency across locations.

Guests customise orders by sweetness level and ice content. The menu spans classic bubble teas and premium offerings such as the Oreo Black Warrior, Brown Sugar Pearl Latte, Grapefruit Green Tea with Agar Bubble, and Cheese Milk Foam Green Tea, alongside matcha lattes and specialty milk teas. Locations operate a counter-service storefront format, and online ordering is available through the Chowbus platform.

ABOUTEA operates under ROTEN MING INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD, a Taiwan-based beverage group. The US franchise system is at an early stage, with current locations in Utah; the brand has been actively seeking new US franchise partners and attended the Franchise Expo West in September 2025 to introduce the concept to prospective operators.

Why buy an ABOUTEA Franchise?

Bubble tea and specialty beverage concepts have gained consistent traction across US markets, making this a growing and resilient consumer food-service category. ABOUTEA’s Taiwanese-origin menu differentiates the brand within this segment, offering cheese milk foam teas, fruit teas, and premium bubble tea combinations not widely available from chain competitors.

The brand’s proprietary ingredient system gives franchisees a structured product platform, with sweetness and ice customisation built into each order. ABOUTEA has built strong local customer loyalty at its Utah locations, and buying an ABOUTEA franchise in a market where the brand is already operating means inheriting a customer base and an established operational rhythm rather than starting from scratch.

ABOUTEA – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    ABOUTEA provides initial, ongoing, and on-site training to franchisees, covering product preparation, brand standards, and daily operations. Franchisees receive access to the franchisor's proprietary ingredient supply system and operational guidelines designed to maintain product consistency. Support services are available for ongoing operational questions. Resale buyers should confirm what initial training and operational onboarding the franchisor provides to incoming ownership and whether full ingredient supply account access transfers at the time of sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The ideal ABOUTEA franchisee is comfortable with a hands-on, customer-facing counter-service environment. Strong interpersonal skills are important, as is an ability to manage a small team of employees and maintain consistent product quality through drink preparation standards. Experience in food service or retail is useful but not a prerequisite; the brand's training is designed to bring new operators up to its production methods. An interest in the specialty beverage or food culture, and comfort working with an Asian-inspired product line, will help the owner connect with the target customer base.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ABOUTEA has built recognition through its presence in the US specialty beverage market, earning strong customer reviews at its Utah locations. The brand's Taiwanese-inspired product line and focus on quality ingredients have generated consistently positive feedback, with multiple reviewers noting the flavour consistency and customisation of its bubble teas. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition at this early stage should be considered alongside the local visibility of the specific unit, including its Google review rating, social media presence, and reputation within its trading area.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US bubble tea market has been growing steadily, estimated at nearly $1 billion in 2023 and projected to grow at a compound annual rate of around 9.5% through 2030, according to Grand View Research. Demand is driven by younger consumers seeking customisable premium drinks and by growing mainstream visibility of Asian beverage culture. Boba tea shops typically generate strong repeat visits from a loyal customer base, and the category has proved resilient in high-traffic retail settings. For resale buyers, local footfall patterns and market demographics are key factors to evaluate.
