Redfield's starts offering bubble tea in North Walsham

John and Nicola Redfield launched Redfield's Fruit and Vegetables shop in North Walsham's Market Street last August.

At the start of this year, they opened TJ Blends, a sister business based in the same premises which uses Redfield's produce to create smoothies and lemon blends.

But in the last few weeks, they have also started offering bubble tea, a Taiwanese cold drink containing balls of tapioca that pop and release flavour into the mouth.

Mr and Mrs Redfield said: "We started offering smoothies in January to compliment our fruit and veg business.

"After chatting with friends in Norwich we realised that there is a gap for bubble tea in this area but it is a popular drink."

The couple has added some seating to allow people to stay a while to socialise or work and have already noticed it broadening their customer base.

"We’ve found we’ve got a few new customers who work and study in town and have also had people come in who used to travel to Norwich just for bubble tea.

"It is great that we can offer a service much closer to home for a lot of people."
