Staff Writer, with CNA, Los Angeles
Visitors to Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles can now enjoy bubble milk
tea, one of Taiwan¡¦s specialties, inside the amusement park, Ten Ren Tea Co said
on Friday.
The company, one of Taiwan¡¦s leading tea leaves and tea drinks suppliers, said
it began working with Universal Studios last week to sell bubble milk tea and
other tea drinks on a trial basis.
Ten Ren¡¦s outlet at Universal Studios is about 100m from the park¡¦s entrance and
sells four types of tea drinks ¡X bubble milk tea, bubble milk green tea, bubble
milk black tea and pearl bubble tea.
Cooperating with Taiwan¡¦s Tourism Bureau, each salesperson at the Ten Ren outlet
wears a top with the word ¡§Taiwan¡¨ printed on it, while a portrait of one of
Taiwan¡¦s most distinctive landmarks ¡X the Taipei 101 skyscraper ¡X is printed on
the outlet¡¦s take-out cups.
Universal Studios Hollywood, which opened in 1964 as the first amusement park of
Universal Studios in the world, attracts more than 10,000 visitors every day and
has become one of the most famous tourist attractions in Los Angeles.
Due to its advantageous location, the tea shop sells about 200 drinks every day,
the tea supplier said.
Ten Ren added that the company is so far happy with the sales achieved.
The trial sales period will continue until the end of the month, and then both
sides will evaluate the arrangement, according to Ten Ren.
Lin Hsin-jen (ªL«H¥ô), a Tourism Bureau representative to Los Angeles, said he was
delighted to see Taiwan¡¦s bubble milk tea available at Universal Studios, as
visitors will be able to taste some of Taiwan¡¦s specialties.
So far, several Taiwanese tea shop chains, such as Chatime and Comebuy, have
made inroads into the US market, selling bubble milk tea to consumers.
