Why passion fruit
For bubble tea & beverage brands.
Passion fruit is one of the top-selling flavors in American bubble tea. Passion fruit Yakult, passion fruit green tea, passion fruit smoothies. Every serious boba shop has some form of it on the menu. Most shops are running concentrate or powder, which is cheap but tastes it. The customers who care about real fruit notice immediately.
Our pure passion fruit juice is the real-fruit upgrade that repositions your menu. Single-ingredient, seeds-intact, same yellow passion fruit used in premium cocktail bars and Michelin-starred pastry kitchens. The seeds especially translate well to bubble tea. They layer with the tapioca pearls and give the drink a signature visual ID.
For a 16-oz drink, 1 oz of pure passion fruit juice gives you full flavor. A 10 kg case yields roughly 320 drinks at that ratio. 2–3 weeks of service at medium-high volume. A beverage brand's bottled SKU scales from there.

Common questions
About passion fruit for this use.
How does this compare to passion fruit concentrate?+
Night and day. Concentrates are typically 30% passion fruit + 70% sugar/water/apple. Ours is 100% single-ingredient passion fruit juice. The flavor depth is completely different.
Do I need to add sugar?+
Yes. Passion fruit is naturally very tart. Most bubble tea recipes add simple syrup or honey to the customer's sweetness spec. The juice itself is unsweetened so you control the profile.
Can I use this in carbonated beverages?+
Yes. Passion fruit holds up well in carbonated drinks. For retail bottling, work with a formulator on acid balance and pasteurization. We can ship pallet-volume for brand formulation.
Does the seed content cause issues with draft systems?+
For draft dispensing (soda fountains, draft cocktail systems), strain the juice first. For shaken bubble tea service, the seeds work. They're part of the visual identity and don't clog at consumer-scale volumes.
