Fro-yo girl here. It’s been awhile since I had a boba ice cream bar. The I-MEI Ceylon Milk Tea Boba Ice Bars seem to be fairly new. I spotted them at 168 Market and 99 Ranch Market in San Gabriel, California. One box contains four individually wrapped bars weighing 80g each. 99 Ranch was selling the box of I-MEI Ceylon Milk Tea Boba Ice Bars for $7.99, regular price. I-MEI is a Taiwanese brand and the ice bars are a product of Taiwan.
I-Mei Ceylon Milk Tea Ice Bar: The ice bar is smaller. It had lots of boba. I encountered a few boba in every bite. The tapioca balls were very sweet, soft, and chewy. The bar was creamy and milky with a strong tea flavor. The bar seemed super sweet and the balls were even sweeter. One bar is 140 calories with 5g total fat, 22g total carbs, 15g total sugars, and 1g protein.
I think I’m getting tired of boba ice cream bars because they’re too sweet. I wouldn't order a boba milk tea at regular sweetness either.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. Sharetea, the Taiwanese boba chain that was founded in 1992, has partnered with Shaomai, the Taiwanese boba ice cream brand, to introduce a limited time product, Creamy Thai Tea Boba Ice Cream with QQ brown sugar boba. One box comes with 4 individually wrapped bars. I found my box at 99 Ranch Market in San Gabriel, on sale for $7.98 each. The bars are imported from Taiwan.
Creamy Thai Boba Ice Cream Bars: Pretty good! These bars were firmer and creamier than most boba ice cream bars. They were sweet but not sweeter than other boba ice cream bars. Somehow the black tea and spices helped tame the impact of the sugar. The QQ boba were soft, sweet, and chewy. This is a richer boba ice cream bar but I really enjoyed it.
Each bar is 75g, 150 calories, 6g total fat, 22g total carbs, 15g total sugars, and 2g protein.
4 out of 5 stars.

Cookies & Boba Black Tea Ice Cream: By cookies, I think they mean something like Oreo cookies – chocolate sandwich cookies with a cream filling. The bar was creamier with soft, sweet, chewy boba and bits of cookies (tiny bits). It was creamier than the boba black tea latte ice cream bars. The tea flavor was strong but not as bitter of the boba black tea latte ice cream bars. It seemed lik e there were fewer boba balls. And it wasn’t as creamy as the brown sugar boba ice cream bars that made them famous.
One bar is 150 calories with 4.5g total fat, 15g total sugars, 26g total carbs, and 1g of protein.

Fro-yo girl here. Truedan is a Taiwanese boba chain that was established in Taipei’s Shinlin Night Market in 2010. According to their website, they now have over 100 locations in 12 regions. I know they opened a shop in Daly City (Northern California) but they don’t seem to have a location in Southern California yet. They’re famous for their brown sugar bubble milk drink which contains no tea.
In late 2019, Truedan launched a line of bubble milk ice cream that included a brown sugar bubble milk ice cream cone and mochi ice cream in Taiwan. The cones were widely talked about and sold out quickly. The products arrived in Singapore around March 2020 and now they’re in the the US. At some point, they introduced a popsicle/ice bar version.
I found the brown sugar bubble milk ice cream bars at H Mart in Arcadia for $8.99/box (regular price). One box has four individually wrapped 80g bars. The bars are imported from Taiwan. There were only two boxes left at H Mart, so it seems popular. They didn’t have the brown sugar bubble milk ice cream cones or mochi ice cream with boba.
Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Ice Cream Bar: The bar smelled like brown sugar and had brown sugar swirls throughout. The texture was firm with an icier exterior shell and a creamier interior. It had a stronger milky flavor than comparable brown sugar boba ice cream bars. It was also not as creamy as some of the other brown sugar boba ice cream bars. The boba balls were soft and chewy. I found the bar to be less flavorful and definitely icier than other brands. One bar is 131 calories, 4.6g fats, 21.8g carbohydrates, and 14.4g sugars.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
