FAQs
Q: Do I need any prior experience?

A: No prior experience is required. Our training can be adapted to your starting point, whether you are a first-time business owner who has never worked behind a drink bar or an established bubble tea shop developing new recipes. Tell us about your experience and goals when you inquire, and we will tailor the training accordingly.
Q: Where are the bubble tea courses held?


A: Our in-person bubble tea training courses are held at our Woodside facility at 30-30 60th Street, Queens, NY 11377. The training area includes hands-on workstations and equipment similar to what you may use in your own bubble tea shop. For customers unable to travel to New York, we also offer online training courses.
Q: Do you provide a certificate after completing the course?


A: Yes. Participants who complete the training program receive a Hojalicious completion certificate. Hojalicious is a bubble tea ingredient brand for which Boba Guru is an authorized wholesale distributor. The certificate recognizes that you have completed training using the Hojalicious product line.
Q: Who is a bubble tea training course for?

A: Our training is designed for new bubble tea business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, existing shop owners, and foodservice businesses looking to expand their beverage menu. It is also suitable for teams that want to develop new drinks, improve preparation techniques, or learn how to work with bubble tea ingredients and equipment.
Q: How long does a bubble tea training course take?

A: Each private training session lasts around 2–3 hours, with only one booking per session, whether you're training alone or with a group. We offer a standard curriculum that can be tailored to your menu and business needs. After you inquire, we'll assess your needs, plan the training content, and schedule your session. The number of sessions depends on your training goals.
Q: How many drinks will I learn in a bubble tea training course?

A: The number of drinks depends on the scope of your training. We teach recipes step by step, explain possible variations, and share practical preparation tips along the way. You can follow our standard training curriculum or customize the session around your menu. For example, you may choose to focus specifically on fruit teas, milk teas, toppings, or drinks you want to recreate for your own shop.
Q: Will I get hands-on practice during the training?

A: Yes. Our training is designed to be hands-on. We only train one booking at a time, so you or your team will have dedicated access to the training area, workstations, and instructor throughout the session. Instead of simply watching demonstrations, you will be able to prepare the drinks yourself, including brewing tea, cooking ingredients, mixing recipes, and practicing drink assembly.
Q: How many bubble tea recipes will I learn?

A: There is no fixed number because the curriculum can be customized according to your goals. We cover drink recipes, recipe variations, preparation methods, and practical tips for consistent results. Some customers may want to focus on one category, such as fruit tea, while others bring specific drinks they want to learn, recreate, or develop. We can build the training around those requirements.
Q: Will I learn how to use bubble tea equipment?

A: Yes. Training can cover common bubble tea equipment used in daily shop operations, including cup sealing machines, tea brewers, liquid sugar dispensers, drink shakers, and other preparation tools. You will learn basic setup, operation, and cleaning procedures. Equipment purchasing and overall shop planning are handled separately by our team rather than as part of the training class.
Q: Will I learn how to calculate drink costs and pricing?

A: No. Drink costing, menu pricing, and broader shop planning are not included in the training program. However, our sales team can assist you separately with ingredient selection, product ordering, and related planning when you are preparing your menu and supply requirements.
Q: Can the training help me create my own bubble tea menu?

A: Yes. If you already have drinks in mind, tell us what you want to serve and we can tailor the training around those recipes. For example, if you want to develop a taro fresh milk drink, we can incorporate it into your session. We can also review your concept and suggest drink ideas that suit your brand style, menu direction, and target customers.
Q: Can I book a private session for myself or my team?

A: Yes. Every session is private, and we never combine separate bookings. Whether you're training on your own, with a business partner, or with your entire team, the space and instructor are exclusively yours.
Q: How do I enroll in the boba tea training program?

A: The booking process is straightforward: Inquiry → Deposit payment and scheduling → Needs asssessment → Training session

Start by contacting our team and telling us about your business, experience level, menu ideas, and training goals. We will then guide you through scheduling and course preparation.
Q. Is bubble tea training available online?

A: Yes. We offer live Zoom bubble tea training for customers outside New York or those who are unable to travel to our Queens facility. However, we recommend in-person training whenever possible because it gives you hands-on experience with the equipment and preparation process.
Q: Is training available in Chinese?

A: Yes. Bubble tea training can be conducted in either Mandarin Chinese or English. Let us know your preferred language when you inquire so we can arrange the session accordingly.
Q: How much does bubble tea training cost?

A: Training prices depend on factors such as the training format, number of participants, number of sessions, and customized content required. Part or all of the training fee may also be redeemable toward eligible product purchases. Contact us with your training requirements and our team can provide a customized quotation.
