Celebrating Youth, Community and Culture at Hull City Hall

The Humberside Police Lifestyle Awards 2025 , held at Hull City Hall in East Yorkshire, brought together families, young people, and community leaders for an inspiring evening celebrating positive youth achievements.

This year, Boba Formosa was proud to participate as the bubble tea partner, serving fresh drinks and introducing authentic Taiwanese ingredients to hundreds of attendees across Hull, Humberside and the Yorkshire region.

As a UK-based bubble tea supplier and wholesale distributor, the event gave us a meaningful opportunity to support the community while showcasing how bubble tea can elevate cafés, school events, charity fundraisers and hospitality venues across the UK.

Bringing the Taste of Taiwan to Hull City Hall

From the moment doors opened, our booth quickly filled with queues of children, teens, and parents eager to try bubble tea — many for the first time. We prepared two signature drinks on-site:

🍈 Kiwi Sparkling Fruit Tea

Bright, refreshing and event-friendly, crafted with our premium mango fruit syrup and kiwi popping balls .

🧋 Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Han Tien Jelly

A rich, creamy favourite using our Taiwanese brown sugar syrup and han tien jelly .

The response was overwhelming — guests loved the textures, flavours and freshness. Many families asked where they could purchase ingredients locally and whether bubble tea could be added to their school or charity events.

This is exactly why we love community partnerships: bubble tea is delightful, approachable, and instantly brings people together.

Supporting the Event with Bubble Tea DIY Kits

In addition to serving fresh drinks on-site, Boba Formosa also supported the Lifestyle Awards by sponsoring Bubble Tea DIY Kits as part of the event’s prize giveaways.

These kits are designed to introduce families and young people to bubble tea in a fun, educational and hands-on way — allowing them to recreate authentic Taiwanese drinks at home.

The DIY Kits attracted a lot of interest from teachers, parents and youth groups, many of whom saw their potential for school activities, community projects, fundraising events and holiday workshops.

Providing both on-site drinks and take-home kits allowed us to share the joy of bubble tea beyond the venue and further support the community’s creative spirit.

Showcasing Wholesale Bubble Tea Ingredients to the UK

While serving drinks, our team displayed a full range of wholesale bubble tea ingredients, ideal for:

• cafés
• bubble tea shops
• restaurants & bars
• festivals & pop-ups
• school fairs & fundraising events
• hospitality venues & corporate catering

The ingredient range included:

• Tapioca pearls
• Fruit popping balls
• Jellies & toppings
• Fruit syrups & concentrates

Many venue managers, café owners and local business owners were surprised at how efficient and scalable bubble tea production can be using our wholesale ingredients — even in a high-volume event environment like the Lifestyle Awards.

A Proud Moment on Stage

Inside the main hall, the awards ceremony highlighted inspiring youth projects from across Humberside.

Seeing Boba Formosa’s logo displayed on the event stage alongside the official partners was an honour — showing our commitment to supporting the local community, culture, and meaningful initiatives in the region.

This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission:

To bring the true taste of Taiwan to the UK, while supporting schools, communities and businesses nationwide.
