In Taiwan, renowned for its diverse array of beverage establishments, one city emerges as a standout in terms of consumer enthusiasm and order volume.
Renowned for their penchant for delicious refreshments, Taiwanese residents find themselves spoiled for choice with an abundance of bubble tea outlets peppering every street corner. According to insights gleaned from food delivery platforms, denizens of the southern metropolis of Kaohsiung harbor a distinct fondness for handcrafted concoctions. Particularly sought after are hand-shaken classics like Yakult green tea and fresh milk bubble tea.
A deep dive into the data not only reveals Kaohsiung boasting the highest density of bubble tea emporiums in Taiwan but also highlights “beverage” as the most searched keyword. On an average day, a staggering 25,000 cups of bubble tea find eager consumers, especially during the sweltering heat that characterizes southern Taiwan’s climate.
One Kaohsiung resident attests to consuming a daily cup, while others admit to indulging in three or more servings regularly.
Moreover, the landscape of popular delivery destinations in Kaohsiung has undergone a transformation. Statistics from food delivery platforms pinpoint the Sanmin, Daliao, Nanzih, and Fengshan districts as the top four locales in terms of order volume. Some speculate that the surge in delivery requests in Sanmin and Fengshan can be attributed to burgeoning population figures and recent developmental endeavors in these areas. In contrast, the Nanzih district heavily relies on food delivery services due to the scarcity of dining establishments in its vicinity.
With the advent of food delivery platforms and the resultant surge in convenience, the bubble tea industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom across Kaohsiung, leaving residents thirsting for yet another tantalizing sip.
