How to Brew Large Batch Black Tea for Bubble Tea Shop

How to Brew Large Batch Black Tea for Bubble Tea Shop
In this video I will show you how to brew a large concentrated boba shop size batch of Black Assam Tea for those who own a bubble tea shop. I'm also listing conversions below, including if you're interested to simply make a strong single serve for my recipe videos.

The overall concept for my drink recipes is that you want your tea base to be a very strong concentrated brew, then add in the flavor ingredients, creamer, etc, for the drink you're making, and then you bring down the temperature and add in the volume from melting the ice. I have listed some of my recipe videos further below so you get a better idea for this unique one-of-a-kind concept.

Measurements:

Full Batch
❤️ 125 grams Assam Black Tea (USA = 4oz*) *note you're measuring the weight of the tea, not the volume.
❤️ 5 liters of 85 celsius Water (USA = 1.32 gallons) (185 °Fahrenheit)

Half Batch
❤️ 62.5 grams Assam Black Tea
❤️ 2.5 liters of 85 celsius Water (USA = .66 gallons) (185 °Fahrenheit)

Small Batch
❤️ 31.25 grams Assam Black Tea
❤️ 1.25 liters of 85 celsius Water (USA = .33 gallons) (185 °Fahrenheit)

Single Serving
❤️ 2 heaping Tbsp Assam Black Tea
❤️ 200ml of 85 celsius Water (USA = 6.75oz) (185 °Fahrenheit)

If you are using a Black Smokey Oolong tea, the recipe will be exactly the same, just switch out the teas.

Your enthusiasm is fantastic, and you seem very genuine. Thanks for making videos like these. They’re so interesting, and you’re such a natural presenter.

Thank you so much for your spectacular information. I followed your directions for a large batch. My question is - would you consider the end result to be a concentrated tea? Are you counting the ice as water? Did you add hot water to your tea urn? It's difficult to tell how much tea (concentrated) to add to the boba shaker. If you don't mind, I am just stuck on this point.

Great video, black tea is my favourite for milk teas - Hokkaido milk tea is my favourite bubble tea ;)

Thanks so much, your videos are very informative and are helping us greatly. Just wondering where you got your plastic containers from that you brew your tea in? Cheers.

Thank you for this! ❤ I've see your other videos in making milk tea-- mixing the powders with hot water to dissolved them before mixing with tea and ice. I agree this makes for a tastier and smoother drink. My question is, do you just use the tea after it's cooled down or do you also use it while it's hot?

I've seen some boba shops that add large scoops of ice to the batches of brewed tea to immediately cool them down as part of the preparation process. I assume they brew the tea with less hot water since the melted ice will water it down. Would you happen to know the measurements to this kind of method or have an idea as to do it?

I've even seen a franchise that put an empty plastic bag into the freshly brewed tea, and then added the ice into the bag to cool down the tea. They would then conveniently remove the plastic bag with the melted ice water in it and dispose it. I thought this was an interesting method. Do you have any idea what kind of bag may have been used?

[mamuayt_t]

[beeary]

Hi Kristin, could you please help between power mix and blended creeme? if i want to hot tea/iced tea or smoothie, which one should i get? Thank you so much

[anndeichasnoff]

Than you for such in-detail instruction! Can't wait to try my own!!! Is it important for the tea to stay warm throughout the day? Do you need insulated containers or any dispenser would work? Thanks again!

[Msonelifeatatime]

Another awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

[linsokhalin]

Hello, I usually brew tear with coffee machine, may I have ur opinion should I brew it with coffee machine or as your instructions on this video ? Which one make tea stronger n more flavor please ?

[patrickbyrne]

Few questions about the water boiler. Do you leave it on overnight so the water is hot and ready to go in the morning? Do you leave the water inside overnight or do you empty and refill it with new water everyday?

[PerfectPeaceTea]

Thank you Kristin for the video! Quick follow up question how many drinks on average are you able to make using the measurements for a full batch ❤ 125 grams Assam Black Tea (USA = 4oz*)/5 liters of 85 celsius Water (USA = 1.32 gallons) (185 °Fahrenheit)? Thank you!

[jenniferwimmer]

How are you filling your hot water urn? Do you take it to a sink and fill it and then carry it back to the counter? Or are you pouring water into the urn using something smaller? Thanks!

[mindynguyen]

Hi Kristin, do you have the recipe on how to brew big batch I green tea? Thank you.

[sarahvan]

Hey! Great video! Can you make a video on oolong tea? Mine always turns out bitter :(

[marvinstarvin]

Hi Kristin! This is a wonderful video and I’m so glad I found it! Now, I’m only hoping that you might see this message in time 😅

So, I’m doing a volleyball fundraiser this Sunday, and bought all the stuff you mentioned here at our local RD.

I was able to borrow a 5 gallon Cambro(?) to use and was wondering how many large batches do I need to make and mix with regular water so that it’s not too strong for the 5 gallon container?

I was going to use flavors Torani syrup for it as well for sweetener.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!❤
