Two tubers, which we do not serve fried as you would expect to see the other relatives of the potato, but in a paste form, which concentrates the taste so strongly fragrant that you would not think it could be contained in some roots. Taro is the one with an intense aroma, almost floral, with hints of vanilla. And ube is the one who transforms the bubble tea into a spectacular and instagramable drink, with reach and engagement through it’s exotic flavor.

The word contains the “c” with diactric, so it becomes “asai”; it is a berry of Brazilian origin that if you combine it with pearls, it’s like a kind of liquid mana designed for the astronauts in space. The earthy aroma that makes you think of dark chocolate, finely bitter, and the sour hints of wild fruits create the feeling that you are drinking a sorbet ice cream. And to be complete, this is not only delicious but also healthy, being a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, a superfood, elixir for the youth of the brain and body of the explorer in you.

It’s as we dreamed it: extra creamy, with an intense taste and a strong aroma, which is kept long in the aftertaste. We chose a special coconut from a famous Sri Lankan variety to be guaranteed a show in your glass. If the boba didn’t slip through your straw, you would have the illusion that you were sipping directly from the tastiest coconut water, somewhere in a parallel reality grafted with dream of a paradise.

Surely you have thought of submerging a chocolate bar in a cup of milk many times. At Zebracat, we did that until we managed to distinguish a drink that highlights the deliciousness mixture of milk with pure cocoa, a mix only good to revive the spirit of the inner child, whom wanders amused and absent-minded with the straw through the Zebracat glass, in search of bobas.

The fine aromas of dragon fruit are activated when the fruit meets the milk. The sweet taste is similar to that of an unripe pear, the pleasant sourness that brings with it the feeling that the kiwi gives you when you bite it in the morning on an empty stomach with a firm but juicy texture. It’s combined excellently with milk, creating the sensation of fruity cream. And even though you feel like you’re tasting a layer of delicious cream from cake, it’s actually a nice, light drink, like the first day of spring.

Black sesame slowly fried over low heat and then kept soaked in acacia honey and milk with a drop of vanilla. Aroma of fried seed and various nuts, dense, delicious texture, melted over ice cubes. Black sesame boba drink manages to lighten up unsuspected shades in the taste of sesame, making you think of all the seeds and nuts you have ever eaten. A very different flavor to taste but also incredibly good! We didn’t make fun of it – we thought it was already an experience in itself, but if it makes you smile, go for it, add tapioca pearls!

Aroma and fragrance of Taro, a potato root with purple hues. The consistency and the special taste but also the way it is combined with milk and boba, made the main ingredient in this creamy and dense drink to be a best-seller in any boba shop: slightly vanilly tasting, naturally sweet, with the smell of nuts and apricot kernels. At Zebracat we make the drink from organic powder of dried root to obtain the authentic aroma and to preserve its nutritional values. In addition to being ultra-delicious, taro is rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins.

The flavor the golden turmeric powder that you’re used to taste it in curries or other Asian dishes, although exotic, fits desserts wonderfuly with it’s oriental aroma. The strong earthy, musky-scented hues, once soaked in milk, amplify and enter into an extremely interesting combination with the subtle taste of tapioca pearls. Turmeric latte is a drink as delicious as it is healthy, which, even if it stings, works at the same time as a balm for the stomach.

We infuse coarsely ground coffee to preserve the strong aroma of roasted beans, with the smell of hazelnuts and a low acidity. We then combine it with milk and tapioca pearls, transforming the grave dynamics, “down for business” coffee, into a relaxed game with tapioca beads.
