TRUEDAN This award-winning Taiwanese brand is devoted to using only the highest quality “bubble” in your tea. Not only are they the right size, but each “bubble” is freshly cooked in-store to ensure the ideal texture and taste. Furthermore, the brown sugar used is the result of years of mixing and experimenting, which led Truedan to uncover the key to well-caramelised smokey brown sugar.
