Kung Fu Tea is a relatively unknown chain restaurant that is somehow at the same time quite popular. They sell many yummy fruit-teas and slushies as well as Boba teas.

Unfortunately they don’t have a vegan “milk” alternative that’s vegan, so we don’t have access to the full line of their drinks. But they do have quite a few vegan options, so you shouldn’t be disappointed if you visit them, as many of their vegan drinks are quite tasty.
Hopefully one day they add vegan milk/creamer to their menu so we can enjoy their milk teas sometime, but until then we’re pretty much stuck with regular teas and fruit-slush teas, but personally I think fruit-slush teas are delicious so I don’t mind all too much.

And with the toppings listed out, that’s all that’s vegan from Kung Fu Tea right now. The Boba’s apparently are coated in a substance that contains honey now, so if you want to be true to your vegan-ness give the Bobas a miss and Opt for that tasty Mango Jelly that I recommend big-time. It’s tastier and 100% Vegan.
But they don’t use real milk for their teas, so aren’t they vegan?
NO.
Kung Fu Tea accidentally labeled some of their Milk-teas as Vegan in the past, and it’s true that they don’t use real milk in their teas, however they use a creamer and powdered milk that both have dairy ingredients in them.
They also use a non-lactose milk, which is still real milk.
I believe they have corrected this, but don’t trust the menu if it says milk-teas are vegan. Confirm they have a vegan alternative to the creamer and milk powder they use before trusting their menus, due to the mislabeling that occurred a few years ago.
Now Kung Fu Tea has allergen menu, which helps you to find the dairy and honey free items.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does kung fu tea have vegan options?
Certainly, It does! It is easier to find those who are not vegan than the vegan ones. All of the classic and punch bubble tea (except two which include honey) are vegan. Several slush flavors do not include any animal products and you can choose from many plant-based toppings as well. Unfortunately, they do not have any alternative milk, so everything labeled as “milk” or “yogurt” is a no-go.
Is Kung Fu tea boba vegan?
Yes, It is! Both Popping Bubbles (Coffee/Grape/Mango), and Lychee Crystal Bubbles.
