Halloween Bubble Tea Party at Home: How Many Kits You Need
Ning MaFor a Halloween party at home, count one bubble tea per guest. A TeaJoy home kit makes 4 drinks: two kits cover eight guests for £26.98 with free UK delivery, and from twelve guests our Mango & Passionfruit 20 drink kit is £40 with the cups, lids and straws already in the box.
TeaJoy is a UK bubble tea brand of cans, home kits and café kits, found in more than 800 UK locations, and Halloween 2026 is Saturday 31 October. Below: the kit count by guest list, which packs print the colourings for an orange and black table, what every kit says about children, and the day to order by.
How many bubble tea kits do I need for a Halloween party?
One drink per guest, and a TeaJoy home kit makes 4 drinks: one kit serves four, two serve eight and three serve twelve. From twelve guests, the Mango & Passionfruit Bubble Tea Kit in its 20 drink size costs less than three home kits and brings 20 cups, lids and straws with it.
| Guests | What to order | Drinks | Price | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 4 | One home kit: Fruit Tea, Milk Tea or Matcha | 4 | £13.49, or £13.99 for the Matcha Kit | £3.95 |
| 5 to 8 | Two home kits | 8 | £26.98 for two Fruit Tea Kits | Free |
| 9 to 12 | Three home kits, or the 20 drink kit | 12, or 20 | £40.47 for three Fruit Tea Kits, or £40.00 | Free |
| 13 to 20 | Mango & Passionfruit Bubble Tea Kit, 20 drinks | 20 | £40.00 (£2 a drink) | Free |
Prices as on our shop on 2 October 2026; UK delivery £3.95, free from £20. The sums: two Fruit Tea Kits are 2 x £13.49 = £26.98, which clears the £20 line. Three are £40.47 for 12 drinks and the 20 drink kit is £40.00 for 20, so from twelve guests the café kit gives you eight more drinks for 47p less. If you would rather have spare than run out, the rule in our bubble tea for parties and events guide holds: take the next size up.
Fruit tea or milk tea for a Halloween party?
For a children's party, or any party with a carpet, start with a fruit tea: it is made with water, and our parties guide says a water-based fruit tea is simpler to clear up after a spill than a milk-based drink. The same guide suggests milk tea for the colder months, where 31 October sits.
- The Fruit Tea Kit, £13.49: two passion fruit teas and two mango teas, each with a sachet of popping boba. Add 300ml of water, stir in a syrup sachet, add the boba, top with ice. The product page says "No boiling, cooking or brewing required."
- The Milk Tea Kit, £13.49: two Classic and two Brown Sugar milk teas with instant tapioca pearls. Stir a tea powder sachet into 300ml of milk or a milk alternative, add the pearls and ice: about 20 seconds a drink.
- The Matcha Bubble Tea Kit, £13.99: two matcha and strawberry drinks made with milk, two strawberry and mango fruit teas made with water, popping boba in every drink.
No home kit needs special equipment: the Fruit Tea and Milk Tea Kit pages say "just a cup and a spoon", and four jumbo paper straws come in every box. The four steps are in how to make bubble tea at home.
Which TeaJoy drinks fit an orange and black Halloween table?
Go by the colouring printed on the pack. For the orange side of the table, pick the mango and passion fruit packs, which print beta-carotene. For the black, pick the instant tapioca pearls in the Milk Tea Kit, which print caramel colouring.
| Component | In which kit | Colouring printed on the pack |
|---|---|---|
| Mango Tea Syrup | Fruit Tea Kit; 20 drink kit (1.2kg bottle) | beta-carotene |
| Passion Fruit Tea Syrup | Fruit Tea Kit | beta-carotene |
| Passion Fruit Boba | Fruit Tea Kit; 20 drink kit (1.1kg tub) | beta-carotene, caramel colours |
| Mango Boba | Matcha Bubble Tea Kit | beta-carotene, caramel colours |
| Instant Tapioca | Milk Tea Kit | caramel colouring |
| Strawberry Tea Syrup | Matcha Bubble Tea Kit | Beetroot Red |
| Strawberry Boba | Fruit Tea Kit; Matcha Bubble Tea Kit | lycopene, caramel colours |
| Peach & Mango can, 330ml | 12 pack or mixed 4 pack | natural beta-carotene, caramel III |
| Passionfruit & Strawberry can, 330ml | 12 pack or mixed 4 pack | lycopene |
The 20 drink kit is mango tea syrup with passion fruit popping boba, both printed beta-carotene, so from twelve guests the orange table and the cheaper box are the same box.
To pour nothing at all, our bubble tea cans need only a fridge: a 12 pack is £30, £2.50 a can, the mixed 4 pack £11.20. Popping boba in the can, paper straw attached, and the can says to chill and shake well before serving.
What every kit prints about children
Every TeaJoy kit, home and café, prints "CHOKING HAZARD Not suitable for children under 3 years", and the cans print the 0-3 symbol. Our fruit tea kits contain traces of caffeine; the cans, the Matcha Kit and the milk tea kits contain a small amount of caffeine from tea. Age, caffeine and sugar, pack by pack, are in can children drink bubble tea.
