A BUBBLE tea specialist is opening a new kiosk in Poole this weekend - and is giving out 200 free drinks to celebrate. 

Bubble CiTea will open its 32nd UK kiosk at the Dolphin Centre on Saturday, July 9. 

The shop’s ‘Bubble Baristas’ will be serving free fruit teas, milk tea, and crushed ice drinks on a first-come-first-service basis to 100 customers at 12pm, and then another 100 at 3pm.

Suneet Sachdeva, Bubble CiTea’s CEO, said: “As Bubble CiTea continues to excite customers across the UK, we are delighted to be opening our 32nd location at the Dolphin Centre.

"We are looking forward to introducing Poole to our unique brand of bubble tea flavours, which we have upgraded to meet local needs while honouring the traditional ideals of Taiwanese tea culture.”

On the day, customers will be able to customize their free drink and vegan-friendly options will be available.

John Grinnell, centre manager at The Dolphin Centre, said: “We are always searching for new products and experiences to offer our visitors.”

“The introduction of this established British brand to Poole will also create a number of new jobs for the local area, which is very welcome.”

Bubble CiTea is located between H.Samuel and the Dolphin's GATHER events hub, and the opening hours are 9am-6pm on Monday to Saturdays, and 10am-5pm on Sundays.
