Twrl Milk Tea Launches Bestselling Plant-Based Ube and Taiwan Style Black Milk Teas at ALDI

San Francisco – Twrl Milk Tea, a plant-based food and beverage company inspired by its founders’ Chinese and Taiwanese American heritage, is thrilled to announce the launch of its bestselling flavors, Ube Milk Tea and Taiwan Style Black Milk Tea, at ALDI USA. Starting July 31, tea enthusiasts can find these popular flavors in the ALDI Finds section at select California and Texas Aldi stores; across 232 store locations. 

“We offer a better-for-you, cafe-style milk tea with 75% less sugar and calories, made from single-origin fair-trade tea and proprietary plant-based milk. This not only enhances the taste but also uses 85% less carbon emissions than dairy and with popular demand from our customers, we've also introduced plant-based instant boba toppings with less sugar and calories as well. Our mission at Twrl Milk Tea goes beyond offering a product; it's about building a community that values health, heritage and sustainability.” says co-founder, Pauline Ang. 

With only 50-80 calories per milk tea, Twrl offers a delightful and guilt-free indulgence. 

Ube Milk Tea: Inspired by Pauline’s upbringing in Hawaii, where ube pancakes and ice creams were childhood treats, Twrl's Ube Milk Tea is a convenient, grab-and-go delight. Our ube is sourced from multi-generational farmers in Taiwan, known for their high-quality produce. Carefully brewed with single-origin loose leaf organic Taiwanese mulberry leaf tea, this caffeine-free beverage is great for heart health and known to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. The flavor notes are slightly sweet, earthly, nutty, vanilla, and coconut. 

Taiwan Style Black Milk Tea: Honoring Taiwan's original milk tea, this drink is inspired from a centuries-old recipe with premium single-origin black tea from family farms. It boasts three times more antioxidants, with a bold, chocolatey, cinnamon flavor. Paired with non-dairy milk, it's perfect for starting your day or as an afternoon treat. 

“I usually like my milk tea fresh from the boba shop, but I was delightfully surprised by Twrl's plant-based milk teas. They're steeped perfectly, and you can taste the quality of the leaves they use. I also love that they're less sweet, and with the use of the plant-based milk, feel less overly indulgent on the tongue. Overall, a great way to start the morning, without feeling like you're drinking dessert.” - Maggie Wong, Editor at Forbes

In addition to ALDI, Twrl’s Milk Tea is available through distributors including UNFI, Kehe, Faire, Pod Foods, and Meet Mable. Consumers can also order online directly on Amazon, Weee!, and Twrl Milk Tea’s website. To complement their line of milk teas, Twrl Milk Tea also makes boba toppings such as Crystal Boba which is made from konjac (a root vegetable) and Brown Sugar Boba. The brand recently released their NEW single serve, dye-free Popping Boba toppings which come in 3 flavors, Strawberry, Lychee, and Honey. The recent ALDI launch tops off a high growth year for Team Twrl.
